Cool

Yea -we used to bring em back from the states at the time the 916
came out !
Pretty std bike tarted up , had em on dyno - not SP !
Similar to 916 senna really .
Intrestingly we were buying 916's from the states cos they were
sold out here and now the US is one of ducati's biggest markets !
Ciao

What is all the fuss about?

An SP is closer to a Strada than one of the race bikes, wether works or customer.

An 888 strada can easily be made into an SP5 - try making an SP5 into a 926 Corsa.

Mood: sensational!!
actually, it's easier turning the sp5 into a race bike than turning the strada into an sp5. for a start, the sp5 and corsa shared the same cases, frame and injectors/throttle bodies. the core bits required are there with a proper SP. granted there's still an awful lot of cash to be spent, but it can be done. while it's quite easy to make a strada LOOK like an SP it's not possible to reproduce an SP5 exactly. and that's all the SPO is, a strada made to look like an sp.
