The Ducati 998 is the last of the 916 series. It incorporates eight years of World Superbike racing and mass-production experience into the most of refined version of an already iconic motorcycle. With its testastretta engine it produces gravity-defying torque while the Termignoni mufflers give it a nearly unmatched exhaust note. I’ve put together material from a few years of shooting to finally publish a review on the motorcycle that changed my view on what bikes can be forever. Enjoy onboard road shots, Hockenheimring track footage, flyby and sound bits, while I go on babbling about design, sound, engine, handling and the non-existence of electronic rider aids :D
