Special 916 SPS $70g

[T.W.R]

Spotted this on TM :shit:

Quoted as the last 98 916 SPS built and cost $90g US to put together :mellow:

It better have plenty of paperwork to go with it :shutup:

Pretty nice though :msn-wink:

[canarlee]

[T.W.R]

[neo5365]

i would be so gutted if i owned one of those and dropped it...

[xwhatsit]

The motor was built by Fast by Feracci and was fitted with a 1026 big bore kit, it has a Dymag Carbon Fibre swig arm, and Dymag Carbon Magnesium wheels, it has a full Ducati Performance carbon fibre body kit, full Ohlins suspension and damper,Brembo Radial brake/Clutch pumps, Brembo Gold line brake kit, Magnesium clutch housing cover, HMC full 54mm Exhaust system, carbon rear sets, Titanium rear shock rocker, Superbike Radiators and the list goes on... way to many to list.
That's a hell of a lot of fastfast bits to stick onto a bike, then only ride it for 200 miles.

One day, a long way in the future, as the last 916 made it'll be worth a pretty packet. Iconic bike.

Funny -- just reading Conquistador's thread about `what catches your eye in a bike' or somesuch, and somebody mentioned `I've never heard anybody call the 916 ugly'. Well, Mr Forgotten, you have now -- this 916 looks like a turd. Standard, please.

[orangeback]

I"ve Been for a ride with this bike and belive me it goes better than any 916 ive seen b4 .

[Devil]

Thats a lot of carbon...

[Island_Moose]

70 thousand dollars for a bored out 916 that may or may not be the last of thousands of 916's produced by Ducati ....not a pedigreed race bike, never owned by a celebrity, and not even stock?....is it signed by Rossi?...is the gas tank filled with pure cocaine?...

[Scouse]

I'd rather have my fuckin Triumph

[MidnightMike]

Waaaaayyyy to much CF.

Though would make a great poser bike.

i would be so gutted if i owned one of those and dropped it...Wouldn't you just :lol:

That's a hell of a lot of fastfast bits to stick onto a bike, then only ride it for 200 miles.Yeah, it was a demonstration of what can be done... if you buy it, you're welcome to put as many miles on it as you like :yes:

this 916 looks like a turd. Standard, please.If you can make that judgement from a shitty photo on trademe, you're a better man than most. Nobody who has seen it in the flesh, that I've spoken to, would agree with you.

I"ve Been for a ride with this bike and belive me it goes better than any 916 ive seen b4 .Fast by Ferraci don't fuck about :no:

Thats a lot of carbon...Needs some BST wheels :yes:

If you need your bikes to be a pedigree race bike, or owned by a celebrity, or stock, or signed by Rossi, to be special, then you're nothing but a poser.

I'd rather have my fuckin TriumphLike you've got a choice :rofl:

Waaaaayyyy to much CF.

Though would make a great poser bike.Would make a great everything sportsbike... not sure I'd want to run from the cops on it though... 'HWP2, Stop the carbon Ducati will you... don't have the plate, but you'll know it when you see it.' :rofl:

[onearmedbandit]

I've seen it in the flesh. It is truly intoxicating.

You are rambling on again, you need to stay of the Green stuff,

[Timber020]

The bikes worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. Its only travelled just over a tank of fuel in 10 years and had a heap sunk into it. More of an accessory rack than bike it would seem.

Sure is pretty

[marty]

hmm a 10 year old duke or a 2007 tamburini.

tough choice?

[imdying]

hmm a 10 year old duke or a 2007 tamburini.

tough choice?Deja vu! That's pretty much the same thing that came to mind! Only one man here (that I know of) that's qualified to comment... MVNut, what say you?

(me, I'd go the Duke :yes: )

[McJim]

I've got a 10 year old Duc.

Farings are all fibre.....glass fibre :rofl:

Oh to be wealthy.

[imdying]

There's naught wrong with decent fibreglass fairings... decent ones made from woven mat and not cheapo chopped strand mat (or worse) are generally the same weight as carbon, and occasionally lighter (depending on the manufacturer). Zero sex appeal in comparison though.

[Clivoris]

It needs some decent motorcross bars.

[MVnut]

Deja vu! That's pretty much the same thing that came to mind! Only one man here (that I know of) that's qualified to comment... MVNut, what say you?

(me, I'd go the Duke :yes: )

Well, I had a 955 Corsa built for Doug Polen a few years ago and was a dick to sell it, but today I'd pick the Tamburini over the TradeMe Duke only coz I'm biased. But honestly, when you sink a ton of money into a Duc engine, rebuilds are frequent and very expensive. The engine bills for the Corsa were scary:rockon:

[Island_Moose]

'bored out 916'... you've no idea who Fast by Ferraci are, do you? If you need your bikes to be a pedigree race bike, or owned by a celebrity, or stock, or signed by Rossi, to be special, then you're nothing but a poser.


??? My point was what justifies a price tag $55,000 over market value...there must be something other than a bunch of parts, nobody gets all their money back when they sell a bike loaded with expensive bits.

Sure I know who Fast by Ferracci are....I can even spell it right...they're the guys who perform the following services:

Dream bike? Matrix 998.

[imdying]

Sure I know who Fast by Ferracci are....I can even spell it right...they're the guys who perform the following services:Ah huh, well I didn't have to look at their website to know they built a number of 916s for WSB and Daytona. You will never understand, as neither would most, but I expect that from our fast food culture.

I actually agree with you on that...

[RantyDave]

If you need your bikes to be a pedigree race bike, or owned by a celebrity, or stock, or signed by Rossi, to be special, then you're nothing but a poser.
It's a seventy thousand dollar bike (or it will be if someone's mad enough to buy it) and you're calling him a poser? I'm sure it's very nice but a lack of pretension is not exactly top of the spec sheet, is it?

Dave

[imdying]

I wonder if those that can afford it (and bikes like it) have the same mind set...

[MVnut]

was told I'd lost my mind years ago:yes:

[Goblin]

If i had a lazy 70k i would have me one of these. :love:

[jonbuoy]

I wouldn't feel comfortable riding it, too much pressure to perform. :shutup: Still an awesome bike.

:whocares:You are way too far up your self for somone who only owns a cheap shitty sv1000

[T.W.R]

Gear like that speaks for itself :yes:


Also sends out warning signs too if it hasn't got the documentation to verify everything quoted too :niceone:

Sure is pretty

Agreed :yes: It's in the same class as the Z1R TC we have at work (9300 miles in 30yrs) but it has documents to back everything up (ATP forms showing it was 8/250 of the black molly edition, APE certs for engine work, and owner history including a magazine test on the exact bike). As stated by Kawasaki officials; having the documentation sets it's price in a different league.


You are way too far up your self for somone who only owns a cheap shitty sv1000

And you think owning a 07 speed triple puts you in a position to make assumptions about other people :tugger:

As for spending big coin on a Duke I wouldn't go modern :nono: the coin would go into a classic like a Wire Wheel 900ss (below) or a Green frame 750ss ( which would have a price tag similar to the 916 SPS) or another one of these (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=18276&d=1129879327):Punk::love:

[imdying]

You are way too far up your self for somone who only owns a cheap shitty sv1000Someone upset they over paid for something worse than a jap bike? :rofl: You'll have to forgive me if I don't resent people who have the means to sink 'stupid' amounts of money into bikes. Whoever built it was obviously a keen biker, and that's good enough for me.

How much is stupid amounts? 5K on top of the price of the bike? Or more. Hmm I could have 5 pairs of Jimmy Choos for that.

[imdying]

I want to retract all of my earlier comments. People are entitled to their opinion that it's a waste of money, or is nothing more than a tarted up 916, or that it's ugly, or it has too much carbon, or that the motor is a hand grenade. My opinion is no more valid than anybody elses... I should be smart enough by now to accept others opinions, and not have necessarily agree/disagree, or defends anothers (the builders) actions.

Special bikes 'for all' I say, but those that don't agree, that's not a good enough reason for me to fly off the handle. Enjoy your bikes and what you do with them. I enjoy everything about biking... building, maintaining, modifying, riding... not everybody else does, for some riding is 99% of owning a bike, and I should realise that, so I apologise to anyone I heaped unnecessary abuse on.

Panther, only you can answer that question for yourself. 5 pairs of shoes or Ohlins front and rear for my bike, there's no question in my mind. If you happily choose shoes over suspension, then my opinion shouldn't matter one iota.

I was just making light of how much money i have thrown into bikes, when those amounts could easily have gone into savings, or something less frivilous, hence the joke about the shoes.

Sometimes everyone lets their passion for motorcycling overflow into who is right and who is wrong, good on you for having the insight.

Maybe you should spread the building maintaining modifying word. heh

[imdying]

What I probably need is some time out from this site, and to spend more time in the garage. I should come back when I've made my first carbon mudguard.

What about a making a carbon fibre wing mirrors with screens to watch dvds/porn or record your front and rear vision cameras

Might I suggest that it is traditional in my family (bro), to gift the first attempt at something to someone who will derive benefit from it. My poor old Tuono is afflicted with a standard guard :innocent: just in case you were interested.
