To quote Ian Falloons book 'The Ducati story';
"In memory of the great Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna,tragically killed at Imola shortly after approving the 916 Senna prototype on 7 March 1994,the 916 Senna was created.Using the 1994 Strada engine with the Pankl con-rods,along with SP bodywork,Ohlins rear shock absorber,brakes and carbon fibre mufflers and clutch cover,each of the 300 Sennas came with a plaque on the top triple clamp,and were painted grey with red wheels.They also came with a certification document and,like all the desmoquattros for 1995,had a revised CPU management system."

According to the good book (Ian Falloon - Standard Catalog of Ducati Motorcycles) the Senna 1 was 1995. Production specifically for UK appears to be 15 for 1995

I'm glad that's sorted then.....

I've got a '95 Senna in my garage...lovely! 3rd owner 15,000 miles.

One of these days I'll get it back on the road!

I also know of a BRAND NEW 1995 one, 0 miles in a lovely shed near Gatwick???
