Ducati 98
The Ducati 98, 98N, 98T, 98TL, 98 Sport (98S) and 98 Super Sport (98SS) were a series of single-cylinder OHV, open-cradle pressed-steel frame motorcycles made by Ducati Meccanica from 1952 to 1958. The 98 Sport sold in London in 1956 for ₤178 10s, which would be ₤ as of , after inflation.〔
Ducati was one of several Italian companies that did well in the 1950s with lightweight sporting motorcycles like the 98, especially the 98 Sport, because production recovered relatively quickly after WWII, and because the designers understood that "a model with a racing pedigree, stylish looks, and a bit of excitement was, in the Italian designer's mind, likely to sell in larger numbers than a dull looker, no matter how well engineered, comfortable, and practical."〔Walker (2006) p. 96〕
==Development==
The series was envisioned as a "bare-bones low performance model,"〔(Heritage: Ducati 98 )〕 but the 98 Sport of 1953 became Ducati's "first true sporting model."〔Faloon (2004) p. 18〕 The new design by Ducati's chief engineer, Giovanni Fiorio, made its debut at the 1952 Milan Show with the showing of the 98N and 98T (with twin seat).〔Faloon (2006) p. 12-13〕 The following year, the 98 Sport was presented at the same show, a lighter bike with alloy instead of chrome steel rims,〔 and a higher state of tune, and the addition of a finned oil cooler at the front of the engine.〔Fallon (2006) p. 14〕〔Thompson (1998) p. 12〕
Although the 98 had some success in competition,〔Woolett (1957)〕〔 its limitations made Ducati Director Giuseppe Montano decide to begin a racing program led by a new engineer, Fabio Taglioni.〔 Though Taglioni mainly worked on the new OHC bikes, he might have influenced the 98S of 1954.〔Walker (1997), p. 14.〕
