I got one in Australia 10 years or so ago , while I did not buy to invest. They have gone up by 2-3 times here ! Back to what they cost new in fact $38k is where they sit here for a fairly mint one .

Nr 750 was the first production bike with under seat exhausts. It's not a completely different engine to the 888, it's merely an evolution of the Desmoquattro.

still owning my 748S, all the way from 1999 to today, having almost 48'000kms done - and still love it as on the first day

You have just 48k on it?! I would've clocked 100k

When I was 18 years old, on the very first day at university (engineering...) my fellow student arrived with a brand new 916. 20 years later, I got a 998 and a 748. Such stunningly beautiful bikes!

Thanks Paul for a very comprehensive review of this absolutely stunning bike.

Ive got a 748 S (2000) and i love it! Had her for 10 years now and only just turned 9k miles. I will never sell her!

I used to fancy that bike in my childhood..made my day!!

Love this video and the passion about the 916.....Thx for sharing!

Got me a factory silver 996s, and I absolutely love it.

The first bikes with underseat exhausts were the race replicas of the mid 80's, the Rd500, Rg500 and Ns400. The road legal version of the Nr750 didn't appear until 1991.

This is the ultimate motorcycle. Very happy to have one 🙂

Fantastic video

Fantastic bikes Big Big grin factor....I had the 916SP3 but boy do you need a mortgage for those service bills... yes you do.

The heads don't have to come off for the rocker arm check and adjustment

I have one too! Fantastic!!! 🔝🇮🇹

I am no expert (at all) ... but a couple of things here I would question. First MC with under-seat exhaust? (I understand that Tamburini actually said he used the Honda 750 as an inspiration in his under-seat design). Simple to tear-down? (Well, easy to get the panels off, yeah, but "easy tear-down"? It's a Ducati??). I think anything with a limited run will go up in value because it's a finite supply. I don't think the SPS will get to the ranks of Desmo - but for my money, it is a better-looking machine. With so many variants like 748-9/996-8, there are some you can own to ride. One day I'll have a yellow 748 - what a piece of art.

Awesome bike but I have more of a soft spot for the 888...it's a generational thing =) Cool vid thanks

Are those the orignal 5 spoke wheels or did the SP also come with the dated tri spoke wheels?

The heads have to come off to adjust the valves? I have a 1997 916 and the heads have never come off to adjust the valves...

Some inaccurate facts in there. The first generation SP did not have a numbered plaque on the top yolk. This came on the SP3 onwards. Heads do not have to come off to check or adjust valve clearances. I owned an early SP till around 2012 and regret selling it on but thats life.

Should have said it's easier to re-shim valves with heads off, also way more expensive with the cost of head gaskets!!

An icon. Like an e-type, like a Fender Strat, like a Supermarine Spitfire. Sometimes, some shapes are just right. Rear exhausts courtesy of Soichiro Honda and the NR750. Tamborini admitted copying the design... ;o)

There is actually a difference between a 916SP 955cc and a 916SPS 996cc. The one shown here is an SPS.

Will the 916 Biposto also be collectable? I know it doesn't have the rarity of the SPS but it's looks are still just as stunning.

When the price of the really desirable bikes such as the SP/S then people start looking for the next affordable thing which tends to drag the price of those up and so on. So in a word yes.

I've had a few 916 including a genuine Foggy, also several 748 including an all carbon body SP, loved them all ( but not as much as the Tambourini MVs)

From the side it looks like someone cut the headlight fairing off.

❤

To own Ducati homologation specials is to hit your head (and wallet) with a hammer since a couples years later SP, SPS, or R technology becomes baseline production for standard models. Skip the 916SPS and by a 998, with the same performance and easier maintenance. And PS, yes a 916 will hang with any bike in a corner, but as soon as the corner straightens, even your basic modern 1000 will vanish in front of your 916 Speciale Productionne.

How is the Ducati 916 compared to the SP and SPS? It's allmost impossible to find a SP or SPS for sale.

It’s not super rare. It’s not a good investment. Buy it and ride it and love it. Don’t buy it looking for appreciation. You don’t have to keep it all stock - change whatever you want and make it yours. If you don’t understand what this bike is, stay away from it. It’s only for some people. Definitely not investors.

Or you can just buy a 748S like I did and have all the fun without worrying.

Same here brother! I actually get to ride my Ducati instead of storing it in a warehouse.

Why buy a Ducati if you're not planning on riding it. What a damn waste. Taking a perfectly good 916 of the road to make a few bucks.

Any one who invests in Bikes or cars is a fool. If ya love bikes and collect one day the bike will achieve a certain value usually 30 years later as far as investments go most people die and want to use the captial before then dont invest inbikes or cars as a nest egg.
