I also own a Ducati 916 (instagram @75ChevLagunaS3) and it has been a "piece of art" since 2006. Back in 2003 for awhile it was actually in my livingroom! Classic, beautiful design.
Where does a modified 748 rate? A mechanic friend In San Diego Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login has one for sale. Doesn’t fit me though
I'm on the point of buying a Panigale 1299R Finale Edition. Explosive ride, stunning look and last and biggest Ducati V2 ever made, probably a collector.
The legendary V2 survived (although detuned, since the V4 took the place of top performance engine) - until now, when it's replaced by a new, smaller and not desmodromic V2 (the chassis also drops the signature mono arm for a more conventional set-up). So there is now a Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition to mark the end of this story that began with the 1098; without being too ambitious, I went for one of the last Streetfighter V2 of this lineage (with the desmo superquadro engine and the rear mono arm). I took delivery of my new bike on December 24th
