The 916 was the bike that well and truly put Ducati back on the map. Its striking, radically angular styling made it the Italian poster-bike for a generation and sparked a fashion for under-seat exhausts. Meanwhile, it achieved success phenomenal success on track, winning the 1994 Superbike World Championship, its début season, and repeating the success in 1995, 1996 and 1998, making a hero of British rider Carl Fogarty. It shook up the superbike world and its commercial success helped affirm Ducati as the world-leading marque it is today. Penned by the late, great Massimo Tamburini, the 916 not only packed cutting-edge performance but also sported a sleek, distinctly Italian design that, when viewed from above, evoked an ‘hourglass figure’. The model was even displayed at the Guggenheim Museum’s Art of the Motorcycle exhibition.
This very handsome Ducati 916 Biposto has been cherished by the current vendor since his ownership. It has had many upgrades, such as a Termignoni exhaust system with the original exhaust included, a Tecnosel seat with the original Biposto included and an uprated ECU with Ultimap Eprom. It has been dry stored and kept on a smart charger with a Datatool alarm. Work has included having the belts changed, brake and clutch fluids changed, a new clutch, an oil and filter change, new air filters and new Pirelli Rosso 2 front and rear tyres. There is a host of invoices for parts and labour. It has had a full service by Moto Rapido in Winchester. The vendor has not ridden the 916 since 2022 but we are advised it has been run up to temperature every three weeks without fail.
PLEASE NOTE: The motorcycle had a slight damage to the tank during transport as pictured at the end.
