What did it for me was the side swing arm and more importantly that sick dual under the tail exhaust. I always drooled on the rare occurrence I saw one.
Great video with way too little attention on it. Thank you for this production. I'm the recent new owner of a 19898 748/853. Initially my plan was to ride it just once a week but after just 2 days I decided this bike has to be my daily. They say don't meet your heroes but it paid off in this instance. The looks attracted me in but riding it is just as marvelous! Everything about this bike is special. The overall design. Some say the tail is big but it's really not. Even compared to my '07 ZX6 it's just as wide the ZX6 just tapers off quicker. The single-sided swing arm, The undertale exhaust, The trellis frame, The dry clutch, The stupidly simple analog gauges, All the vents in the fairings, I even love my heavy three-spoke wheels! I'm 5'8" 120 lb on a good day, this bike is so small it's amazing. Though it is ridiculously heavy but as soon as you start moving that goes away. Mine is yellow which is my favorite color but I'm going to have to get me one in red as well... The only thing I don't really like about this bike 8s it's not super comfortable thankfully if I'm on the saddle for more than a half hour I'm probably doing a special Sunday trip. As most of my daily riding is pretty short. Thanks again for this video it was wonderful!
What do you think of the Ducati 916’s design?
Taken from Honda NR750 design...
I have the 900ss... it's basically glued to the road in the corners. The amount of confidence it gives you is incredible!

I remember these bikes coming out and just thinking how awesome they were.
Don't forget it's a Honda/Elf design Ducati stole

it is pronounced Nine One Six....NOT Nine Sixteen.....
Over produced...
A beautiful machine indeed the 916 is. But for me the prettiest machine ever built is MV Agusta F4.
I love the F4. It's a beautiful bike!
Clearly Ducati robbed the single sided swingarm design directly from Elf/Honda racing R&D ...
