The iconic Ducati 916 was one of the most beautiful designs
in the history of motorcycle development. It was designed by
Massimo Tamburini who went on to design the MV Augusta F4 and the bike which bears his
name the MV Augusta F4 Tamburini. Today a similarities
can be seen between the Ducati 916 and the more modern MV Augusta
F4, especially in the tail section.
Design of the Ducati 916 was as much about function as it was
about form and the Ducati 916 brought the two together in perfect
harmony, the single sided swing arm was stunning however it
was actually designed to make wheel changes faster during races.
The 916's underseat exhausts were
an attempt to improve aerodynamic performance but at the same
time they helped give the Ducati 916 a clean and and stunning
profile.
In 1998 the Ducati 996 appeared,
this bike was almost identical to the 916 but with a larger
capacity (996 cc) engine.
