Right from the start of 916 production Ducati built limited-edition racing versions for favoured customers, these being based almost invariably on the preceding year's works machinery. According to Ducati (see email printout on file), the motorcycle on offer was built as a 955 Superbike Racing, which was supplied by the factory on the 16th March 1995 and invoiced on 30th March that year. As such, its specification would have been very similar to that of Carl Fogarty's World Championship-winning factory bike of 1994. However, it should be noted that rather than '955', this motorcycle's engine number includes '916' and thus the unit may be a replacement. However, we have been expertly advised that some 916s were sold with the 955 'big-bore' kit installed and thus would include '916' in the engine number. Further complicating matters is the fact that the Ducati was not registered in the UK until 7th November 2000 when it would have been over five years old. The machine's previous history is not known, and given the fact that was built for racing, some previous competition usage cannot be ruled out. The machine has lost the Superbike Racing's Öhlin's suspension and forks (it has Biposto suspension, forks and sub-frame) while the frame has been painted and the bike made to look like an SP. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to originality of the motorcycle's components prior to bidding.
There are three expired MoTs on file, the last issued on 14th June 2017 at 49 miles (the speedometer had been replaced in 2016/2017 at 13,614 miles). The Ducati has belonged to the current vendor as part of his private collection since November 2016, and according to the current V5C has had seven former keepers. Following a period of inactivity the machine will require, at the very least, re-commissioning and safety checks prior use.
