By the '60s, in response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, Ducati's chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel-drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart's win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike (WSBK) racing over the years. The launch of the Massimo Tamburini-designed iconic 916 in 1994 revolutionized motorcycle styling and overnight made all of its competitors seem dated, going on to give Carl Fogarty his first Superbike world championship, which led Ducati to build only 202 units.
This limited edition 1999 Ducati Carl Forgerty Replica has been with the current owner since 2007 and in that time it has been part of a small collection of machines. Showing very low mileage for its age, just some 5, 821 miles, it is offered with its original tool-kit, the original certificated plaque, all its service books, owner's manual, warranty booklet, 2 keys, Datatag receipt and a current V5C. The Ducati has not been used for some time and will need some level of recommissioning before being placed back on the road.
