Take a look around this one of a kind Ducati 916 SPS Carl Fogarty, unused & signed by the man himself. #ducati #ducatistagram #carlfogarty #rarebikes #appreciatingclassics
I'd keep it out of the kitchen, it will collect funk and cooking grease etc. An example is you can see the foam around the gauges has been replaced (newer ones are a light grey, originals are dark grey). Best to put it n your living room 🤘
@@appreciatingclassics Watched the video Jamie did of the insane purple Evo, drooled over the 22b's and the white Escort Cosworth (recce car?) but then i remember the video cutting to some of the bikes you had in as well iirc and damn...look forward to the vid on the FP1... 👍
I have an un-prepped 996R in the same state. The fasteners for the windscreen are n tiny bags sealed in with the mirrors. The silencer clamps didn't come n a bag, I think only retail and replacement ones did. Do you have the brown box all the accessories go into? Along with the bag for the dust cover and the cardboard for around the Termis? Mine has all the headlight stickers and also the sticker on the front tyre still. Very odd a rear mudguard was added. Hope you still have the original battery! - Fun fact, the odometer reading is from the calibration at the speedo factory, not push miles. What happened to the wooden crate? Did these not come with the rear display stand? Tool kit still under the seat?
@@emptymannull very nice - the one shown with the rear guard is the sub 500 mile example, you will notice the video shows 2 Ducati’s and an FP1 toward the end. The unridden example has no rear guard. Yes still has the boxed/cardboard etc for the parts, we just took the parts out to show them 😁👍
But why? Just to make money like an investment. Your money would have made more on the stock market probably and a beautiful bike would have got used and enjoyed as intended.
Extra Valve springs? I thought 916 = Desmo. Why would ducati supply extra valve springs at purchase? Are you sure those are not springs for the clutch plate?
@@Mrlogreco yes totally my mistake - was rushing to try get the video, was on maybe take 15 as kept losing my words as was trying to do too much at once. Did not even realise i had said valve springs until weeks later when video was done & even then did not notice until i had uploaded it & watched it back. Serves me right for trying to multi task. I am a man - i should know better lol.
Pretty stupid not riding it. I remember riding my friends 916 SPS back in 1997 to the magazine store to buy the latest 'Fast Bikes' magazine featuring the 916 SPS lol.
Its a motorbike, and needs to be ridden, and looked after, mine is number 4 used every other year 10k miles.... and not an ornament, best, well maybe yes if you want to leave as is, but if you want to ride, then no, because it will need loads of checking beforehand..... BTW was the number mentioned?
This is only my personal opinion and thus i may have it changed by more knowledgeable people.. This bike has been static and not used for what? 26 years now evrn if its been kept inside someones home.. If the bike has ever had fuel in it, then it will at least need a strip down of the entire system if the bike is to be used. I note the brake and clutch fluid reservoirs are full too. Those systems will also need flishing/stripping down. In fact, i would hazard a guess that the bike is pretty much an expensive ornament as after being static for over 25 years.. every seal will have deteriorated through lack of use, that should the bike be ridden, it'll spring leaks everywhere... just my opinion. Please prove me wrong!! Perhaps get Foggy himself to ride it? It would be a terrible shame if this bike was never used for it's intended purpose of personal transportation.
@@TachyonDriver the bike runs & was recommissioned in recent years. New belts, fluids etc. But now drained of fuel again. Would devalue it to add mileage now, its a piece of art now of you will. The other one in the video has a few more miles & can be used.
I think: This bike was not built sit in a kitchen. Or park in a collection. I think it is time to assemble it and drive it. I do collect „normal“ bikes. All are registered, insured and will be driven. Why else would you invest into vehicles instead of stock market or gold if you just like to look at it. Very sad 😔 My only explanation is : They don’t drive it because they cannot drive it ?
What's amazing is that the Carl's championship winning 916SPS an out of the crate road bike. What out of the crate road bikes now can win a world title?
Not even close mate, stop hittin that glass di*k 😆 His bike a a full factory 916 Racing with a 955 engine. No bike ever raced with a 916 engine, they were all 955 until the 996 then it went to a 998 I believe. Also, 916 Racing was the predecessor to the F nomenclature for factory works bikes. But even the early RS bikes sold to non-factory race teams have race parts.
That makes me kinda sad for the bike - sort of like a stillborn baby that was never allowed a chance to breath and enjoy its life as nature intended. Pretty lame - at least they could have built it up to look like a fully assembled bike!
Nice find. I would begin devaluing it on day 1 and ride it absolutely everywhere.
I would too. I've got a MV Agusta F4 750 and ride as often as I can. I'm not bothered the potential value in years to come, I just want to enjoy it.
@@robertwright6655 good on you. They were built to ride. I would love to find an F4 750. Stunning bike with the organ pipes out the back.
My favorite thing about collecting bikes over cars. you can put them in your house as decoration. Much harder to do with a car.
Best Ducati Ever simply lovely. Would love that in my kitchen, what a find nice one 👍

That is just stunning, love you have an FP1 to keep them company as well!!!
@@jonpowell8014 thanks, will be posting a similar video of that too 😁👍

@@jonpowell8014 thanks very much 😁😁👍
A thing of beauty 🤩
90s were the best for bikes. More power and technology now but bikes just don't float my boat nowadays
Work of art .. still gotta crush on the yellow 748 sps tho ..
Never ridden, that's a shame. Jay Leno has a great line for owners that don't put mileage on, "Is your wife a virgin also?".
That’s a stunner!
Stunning
What a beauty!
That's just bonkers!!!
Wow incredible 🤩
@@jfoz7602 thank you 😁
Got to be the best. Ab Fab
So man are you gonna ride her 😎
What a beauty and you must be in heaven 😎
A zero klm Ducati, what a surprise 😅😂
fantastic find mate :)
wow
Stunning, but you will need AA cover if you ride it

@@Lar308 It has ZERO to do with money. You don't know me.
@@emptymannullwhy don’t you just answer his question instead of getting emotional and shirty 😂
His signature looks a Mess (KIDS SCRIBBLE)
Yes, spoiled the fairing.
Liked and sub'd 👍
Very nice. With the 55mph being highlighted on the speedo, do you think it was an American import from new?
Can you even register it after all those years of more and more emission regulations?
Extra Valve springs? I thought 916 = Desmo. Why would ducati supply extra valve springs at purchase? Are you sure those are not springs for the clutch plate?
This was my first thought too. Ducs dont have valve springs
@@Mrlogreco yes totally my mistake - was rushing to try get the video, was on maybe take 15 as kept losing my words as was trying to do too much at once.

@@appreciatingclassics no worries I thought I might be wrong; beautiful bike and video well done.

Agree 100%
So what's it worth then?
I think She deserves to be ridden like She was designed to

Agreed brother, what a find,utterly stunning!👌💯🤝🇬🇧🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Couldn’t say it any better myself. 💯 agree

@@appreciatingclassics Many thanks for the update. Much appreciated.
What a waste 😢. I’d rather see one with 100,000
Miles now that would have some stories and patina
Hello buddy could you do a walk around of Suzuki Gsxr 1100m I would like to own it

The best example is one that’s been ridden rebuilt and ridden again always sad when I see a item bought for making money it’s not right

Stick them termis on and bloody ride it!!!
Some ugly bloke came and vandalised that beautiful bike 😂
Sad that it is zero miles. As soon as its ridden it goed down in value. Only worth as a muesem piece
Taken A Geuss How Much its Worth £95 , 000
What a waste, needs to be ridden, what is wrong with people. Wheels are made to go round 😢
