Las Vegas, NV – 3,550mi – $7,800 w/Reserve
The funny thing about the 916SPS is that in fact has a 996cc engine underneath its fairings. Like most special Ducati’s, the 916SPS comes with all the high end technology of the time including Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, lightweight internals and a strengthened block. You would hope this would give you an advantage over the standard 916… Don’t worry, your hopes and dreams will come true. The SPS had an additional 20hp over the standard model. Not bad if you ask me.
The bike up for sale here is a relatively low mileage example with on 3,550 on the clock. That equates to about 236 miles per year of its teenage life. This one isn’t a bone stock example. If you didn’t know, Ducati owners love their custom bits and carbon fiber additions. But this one seems to have modifications solely geared towards performace, which is refreshing.
