Someone has emailed me through the DSC Essex website asking if the 916SPS (a rather rare beast with a 996cc engine built only in 1997 & 1998 according to Ducati's TecCafé) and wants to know if these came with a number plate on the yokes, a lá the 996SPS ?
The 996 engine was first used on the 916 in 1997 upto 1999 then renamed the 996. In 1998 they produced the limited edition foggy rep 916 SPS producing 202 models which is the dogs danglies IMHO
