MODEL SUMMARY.
1997 P registered Ducati 916 BiPosto in Ducati Rosso Corsa (Racing Red) with Ducati Racing Gold 3 spoke Rims and Red/White nosecone
A UK supplied bike, the last owner purchased it in 2023, with the owner prior to him owning it for 21 years from 2002 until 2023 as part of his significant car and motorcycle collection
Having been essentially unused for 10 years or so, the last owner set about comprehensively overhauling the bike both in terms of mechanical and cosmetic items. The works completed was extensive, all fully documented, and as listed in the relevant sections above
The Ducati 916 launched in 1994 and very simply put blew the world away. At that time, the prettiest (arguably remaining to this day) most focussed, beatifully designed motorcycle there had ever been, and a significant game changer on all levels. If ever a bike was destined to become a future classic, well, this was it, and 32 years after it’s launch, any 916/996/998 Ducati, from a Biposto, to an SPS, to an R, remains a thing of beauty, and hugely desirable
The standard mechanical specification included fully adjustable Showa 43mm dia. BPF front suspension, fully adjustable Showa rear suspension (OHLINS FITTED TO THIS BIKE) Gold Brembo 4 piston calipers, 320mm dia. front brake discs, steering damper, quick release fairings and body panels, and an easily replaceable dry clutch
Quite a few nice options are fitted which include Termignoni carbon exhausts + Eprom chip, HEL braided brake lines, Carbon fibre front fender, Carbon fibre rear hugger and chainguard, Carbon fibre number plate hanger, Carbon fibre exhaust heatshield, Ducati Corse tank pad, White front number board, White and Red seat unit, Sidestand extender and Carbon style top yoke protector
Numerous service bills/invoices, old MOTs, old tax discs, the original owners’ manual, period literature, all documents and keys are present
Matching Michelin Pilot Road 5 tyres fitted. New MOT provided at point of sale. Clear HPI report provided
This is not a show bike, even in view of the works carried out, but is totally fit and healthy, and in a smart and presentable condition. A lovely usable 916…
