Ducati 916SP2 with 996 RS engine.
This bike belongs to a good pal, he's owned it for getting on 20yrs. Over the years he's spent £33, 000 on it. It's fitted with the 996 RS engine from Troy Bayliss's bike, GSE 6. Both GSE 6 and GSE 8 were both built by John Hackett and used in the Bayliss bike(s). They were bought from GSE by a close associate of the team and he still owns engine number 8.
His motorcycling interests, age, weight (haha) and health means that he's no longer a track man, more a 'Mountain Passes' man. He still rides too fast, but now it's with panniers attached, and the stops are for chocolate eclairs, rather than to change the slicks to wets.
Over the last couple of years, I've helped sell four of his older bikes, this and one other (Classic 1972 Yamaha YDS7) remain.
Eventually the plan is that he'll be down to just the one, modern sports tourer. (Still a 180bhp KTM mind. ..... there's a bit of life in the old dog yet.)

The bike was short circuit geared for road use and shown at various motor club shows, the last one being Yeovil Showground 2011 for what was then his business.

No use since.
Engine Information - The engine was detuned to red line at 11400 instead of 12500, and the cam fingers were altered so they don't need adjusting every 500km. The bottom end needs looking at every 5000km. So Jason (The owner) was told by the engine builder, and it's done under 10hrs of running since the last build.

Nice opportunity this one.
A bike that may be eligible for Classic Racing, which would make this machine quite something.
It's a bike we've known for many years and one we've been trying to get on the market for a while. Understandably it's a wrench for the owner to let go of, as he's invested a lot of time, effort and shillings into it. He had visions of using it again, but the reality is, this is a bike that needs to go to the next owner.
Feel free to give me a call for an initial chat, and I'll gladly put you in touch with Jason, who knows all the details of the ownership.
