The Appeal


On its arrival in 1994, the Ducati 916 immediately caught the attention of the world’s public. Heralded upon its release as one of the most beautiful bikes in the world, the 916 also was a technical tour de force, managing to secure World Superbike Championship victories an impressive 4 times between 1994 and 1998.

Undergoing a process of continual development and refinement, keeping Ducati at the top of the superbike tree, the 916 reached its ultimate roadgoing iteration in 1997 with the release of the 916 SPS (Sport Production Special).

Featuring a bored out engine now offering a capacity of 996cc, the 916 SPS delivered exceptional performance with its V-twin engine now capable of taking the bike to 60 MPH in around 3 seconds and a top speed in excess of 160 MPH.

The Mechanics

  • A superb and unrivalled analogue sports bike riding experience 
  • Documentation detailing previous servicing including oil and belt changes despite minimal mileage

The 916 SPS was the ultimate iteration of the 916 model which brought not only increased engine capacity but also a raft of other significant improvements and upgrades.

With capacity increased to 996cc and featuring a new cylinder head design, the 916 SPS could deliver astonishing performance over and above its earlier incarnations. The result was a pure uncompromising riding experience, with the 916 SPS delivering a great analogue mechanical feel unincumbered by modern complications such as traction control.

These attributes were taken even further with the Carl Fogarty model as offered here, with the engine being offered in a higher state of tune and altered fuel mapping leading to even greater performance.

Featuring racing mechanicals such as titanium con-rods and a close ratio gearbox and powerful Brembo brakes along with other upgrades like a Termignoni exhaust system, there is no doubting the performance capabilities of this bike.
