It is 25 years since the Ducati 916 arrived on the global stage, changing the superbike world forever and immediately becoming a modern motorcycle icon.
Ever since its debut, the Ducati 916 has been beloved by motorcycling fans throughout the world, becoming an instant classic due to its Italian-style, dynamic and lightweight design that was so innovative back in 1994.
The Ducati 916 and the subsequent 996 and 998 versions were produced until 2004, with a total of over 45,000 bikes rolling off the production line. The Ducati 916 wasn’t just a great bike and an enormous sales success, it was also dominant on the racetrack. In the World Superbike championship, the 916 SBK won 120 races, eight constructors’ titles and six riders’ titles, four of them with Carl Fogarty on the Ducati 916 SBK and 996 SBK.
