The '''Ducati 916''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Ducati]] from 1994 to 1998.
 
==Intro==
Sporting a 114 hp four-stroke [[V-twin]] motor, the [[Ducati]] 916 changed the design of superbikes and sport bikes alike forever. The model is included in the Discovery Channel's "Greatest Motorbikes Ever".<ref name=Discovery>{{cite web | url= http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/greatest_ever/motorbikes/index.shtml | work= Discovery Channel| title= Greatest Motorbikes Ever}}</ref>
 
First released in 1994 (very limited number released in 1993), the Ducati 916 was admired because of its epochally new design and outstanding technical features. Designed by [[Massimo Tamburini]] and his team at the [[Cagiva]] Research Center in San Marino, the 916 was a [[water-cooled]] version of the [[Ducati 888|888]] that allowed for higher output levels, combined with a striking new bodywork that featured aggressive lines.
 
Design of the Ducati 916 was a balance between function and form:
 
The single-sided swingarm was beautiful, but designed to make wheel changes faster during races
The underseat exhausts improve aerodynamic performance, and resultantly gave very clean lines
[[Carl Fogarty]] and [[Troy Corser]] showed the world what a magnificent [[motorcycle]] the 916 was upon its release, by sweeping the [[World Superbike]] titles in 1994, 1995 and 1996, with Fogarty being the winner in 1994 and 1995.

It came with a 120/70 ZR17 front [[tire]] and a 190/50 ZR17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual 320mm discs, 4-piston calipers in the front and a single 220mm disc, 2-piston [[caliper]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  43mm Showa adjustable upside-down fork while the rear was equipped with a adjustable monoshock with progressive linkage. The 916 was fitted with a 4.49 Gallon (17.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 418.88 pounds (190.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 55.51 inches (1410 mm) long.
