DUCATI916SP 1995 - 1996

　　From 1994 to 1998, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer produced the Ducati 916, a fully faired sports motorcycle designed by Massimo Tamburini and Sergio Robbiano, powered by a 916cc V-twin engine.

　　In 1995, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Ducati 916SP, a sports motorcycle that shared many parts with the standard model, such as the frame, front fork, brake calipers, and wheels, while most of the bodywork and cooling system was shared with the Ducati Strada model.

　　Compared to the base model, the key difference between the two models was some carbon fiber parts, a Monoposto tail section with a white numberplate scheme, full floating iron cast brake rotors, and a rear Ohlins shock absorber.

　　In the aesthetic department, the 1995 Ducati 916SP was similar to the base model, packing standard features, such as a full fairing, a small windscreen, dual headlights, a single seat, a dual exhaust system mounted under the seat, a single-sided swingarm, and three-spoke alloy wheels.

　　As for power, the 1995 Ducati 916SP had its soul brought to life by a 916cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 131 hp with maximum strength at 10,500 rpm and 99 Nm (73 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

　　The bike's suspension comprised a 43 mm fully adjustable USD TiN-coated Showa fork on the front and an adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear with progressive linkage, offering excellent handling capabilities.
