| Its my understanding from what I have read (and I am quite happy to be proved wrong) that the 955 was the bike Foggy rode to WSBK success in the 1994/1995 season.
As for homolagation...as I say they did indeed make some 955 variants (The SP3) for this very purpose, alongside the 916SP, but they didn't officially come to the UK for sale, I think they went mainly to the US...although you do hear of them from time to time..obvious special imports or summut.
So you do hear the term 916SP3 banted around a lot...but I think the true number of them in the UK is probably very few indeed. The reality is a lot of people think the SP is also known in other cirlces as an SP3, when infact they are different capacity machines. A genuine 916SP is quite a rare beastie nowadays...and a genuine 916SP3 even more so. |
