The year 2024 marked the 41st anniversary of the creation of the first, and now final production of the legendary line of Ducati V2 Superbikes with their trademark Desmoquattro 4-valve V-twin motors hung below a lightweight trellis steel tube or carbon fibre sub frame, racebikes that went on to dominate the then new World Superbike Championship for next quarter of a century. Arguably the most significant motorcycle engine design of any kind since the CB750 Honda, and surely the most remarkable and successful volume production engine format ever used in world competition by any single manufacturer, the venerable Ducati 4-valve desmodromic engine recorded to this date 15 World Superbike Championship titles in the 39 year history of the world’s premier production based motorcycle world roadracing series.

A page was also turned in motorcycle history in November 2011, with the debut at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy,
of the exciting new Ducati 1199 Panigale Superbike powered by the Italian company’s all-new Superquadro ultra short-stroke motor. A motor which beyond its overall 90-degree V-twin desmo architecture, owed nothing to previous Ducati Superbike engine designs except the promise of continuing a winning tradition. Moreover, this Superquadro was fitted in a minimalist monocoque chassis design representing an important departure from previous Ducati V-twin motorcycles, which previously have all employed the company’s trademark tubular steel trellis frame.

This book chronicles the development and history all five Ducati Corse World Superbike generations together with interviews with the designers, racers and team managers. This unique insight is provided by renown motorcycle racer and journalist Alan Cathcart who has had the envious and often exclusive opportunity to test ride every one of the factory Corse race bikes over the last 30 years, those tests of which are featured here. Photography of the Corsefactory bikes and riders is proved by the world's most renown motorcycle roadracing photographers including Kel Edge.

Adding icing to the cake, and to warrant this big collectors edition book, included are the incredible high definition photographs of
the bikes taken by former racer, motojournalist and photographer Jim Gianatsis as featured in the Fast Dates World Superbike Calendars from those years with the beautiful Fast DatesCalendar Kittens who served as the official World SBK and Team Ducati Corse umbrella girls at the races where the bikes were photographed.
