Picture it..you rock up at a meet on the 916, and its, well, just another 916 isnt it ? - it could be a bip with a single seat and a few trinkets.
Unless you really know your onions...its not going to really create a stir because theres just too many of the shape about.
Now young man, whats going to happen if you pull up on that luvverly 851 ? :>). I'm convinced the 851 is much more of an investment too (even more so than your SP4).
And it makes a sound like a lancaster bomber. And we'll all expel you from the 851/888 forum. And I can still sell you all those hard to get bits - lol !!!
I went through this myself..I felt really special on my 916 when I bought it new in '96 as it drew so many comments. My 888 gets 10 times the attention now, and isnt getting that warm glow part of the whole ducati ownership thing ??
Just ask Johnny Hackett what his favourite is :>)
Have I convinced you ??!!

Agree with your views Nat. You have to love the original to appreciate the latter. A bit like putting 916 stickers on a 748. God forbid LOL
