Overview
1997 Ducati 916SPS – Ultra-Low KM, Collector Grade Example
The Ducati 916SPS represents the pinnacle of the 916 lineage purpose built, homologation-driven, and produced in strictly limited numbers. This particular 1997 example is one of only 404 units manufactured for the model year and shows an exceptionally low 7,750 km from new.
For collectors and purists, this is widely regarded as the definitive 916 variant the one to own.
Notable Features and Pricing
Condition & Presentation
Cosmetically, the bike presents in outstanding condition. The factory paintwork remains vibrant and glossy, with only a couple of minor chips and light scratches noted on the wheels and frame consistent with careful use.
The SPS-specific carbon components are all present, including:
Carbon airbox
Carbon chain guard
Carbon clutch cover
Suspension duties are handled by the correct Öhlins rear shock, maintaining the model’s premium specification.
Performance Pedigree
Unlike the standard 916, the SPS is powered by the larger 996cc engine, delivering increased torque and top-end performance. It was engineered as a homologation platform, and that racing DNA is evident throughout.
This example, like many SPS models, has seen occasional track days. The previous owner enhanced performance further with premium upgrades, including:
$3,500 magnesium swingarm
$1,500 carbon headlight bucket
Carbon Termignoni exhaust system
The result is a highly desirable configuration that blends factory exclusivity with tasteful, high-end enhancements.
Recent Service & Mechanical Condition
The motorcycle has just undergone comprehensive servicing, including:
New Bridgestone tyres
New timing belts
Fresh oil and filters
Coolant replacement
New battery
It starts, runs, and rides exactly as expected. While fully operational, it has primarily been part of a curated Ducati collection in recent years.
Documentation & Inclusions
Owner’s manual
Original tool kit
These elements further reinforce its collector appeal.
