Here we have for sale, new in at the Bike Specialists, another excellent opportunity to own an iconic Ducati. The Ducati 916 SP2. Just 401 examples of this rare model were produced (the SP2's did not feature a numbered headstock, this only appeared on the later 1996 SP3's) and our example comes complete with two keys, the original service book showing 7 stamps the last of those being a full £8, 000 recommissioning and restoration carried out at Cornerspeed Ducati in December 2021. The bike is also supplied with the original standard exhausts too.
The Massimo Tamburini designed Ducati 916 is probably the most influential motorcycle design of the last 30 years, it was a game changer in so many ways, not least because of the thumping 1000cc V twin engine but for the simply beautiful design, stunning from every angle. The original Strada version introduced in 1994 was quickly followed by a succession of different models and eventually the factory Sport production (SP) each with a minor engine tweak but with the same basic DNA. The 916 SP1 kept its original engine capacity but added twin fuel injectors, titanium con-rods and bigger valves for increased power and torque. It reverted to a single seat racing style seat and had far superior Ohlins rear suspension. The final version produced from 1996, the SP3, featuring revised crankcases.
This is a superb rare example of Ducati's legendary 916 and would be a fantastic addition to any serious collection. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information or to place a small deposit to secure the bike. We offer full finance options and can organise delivery world wide.
