| Was your mate's a conversion? There are a few about. This bike is one of the 955cc bikes that were produced for the American market to homoligate the race bikes that ran in the AMA Superbike Series. Ducati only produced a few & they were sold as Ducati 916 SPA (Sport Production America) in the States in 1996. This is the only one officially imported into the UK. |
