Not that I would fit on it, but I can't imagine riding this thing. It has front wings for down force, and a rear underwing. o_O It obviously looks like a race bike, but the article refers to it once or twice, as a street bike.

The Ducati 916 was the first bike that I ever thought was erotic. When it first came out, I was planning on saving my pennies, or robbing a bank to get one. Then at an IMS, I sat on one. Even back then, my legs didn't fit into the cut outs on the tank.

i sold my 1992 fireblade to a friend locally in jan 1994 as i wanted a 916, i put the deposit down in a ducati dealers in feb 1994 being told the first bikes were due in to the UK in april that year i waited and waited delay after delay after 6 months and no bike i gave up, and managed to get my hands on a mint ducati 851, had that bike for 7 yrs loved it.
but when the 916 arrived i,m glad i didn,t end up with it it was tiny

Ugghhhh, my last rocket was a last gen R1.... Unfortunately after an hr the knees and wrists were no go on it nowadays... These new gen bikes are amazing and sooooo make me wanna get back in the game.

Kid pulled up to the atm on a new black on black R1 a few days ago and I probably spent 15 minutes just talking and eye fondling it.... Pretty sure my old B King is the closest to a rocket in the garage these days.
