Overview
The 1995 Ducati 916 Monoposto Varese: A Rare Collectible
The Ducati 916 is already an iconic motorcycle, renowned for its style and performance. However, the 1995 Ducati 916 Monoposto Varese stands out as a particularly rare and valuable model, with a fascinating backstory and unique features that set it apart from other 916s.
The Varese Production: A Response to Tragedy
In 1994, Ducati was ramping up production of the 916 to meet unprecedented demand. The factory in Bologna was operating at full capacity when disaster struck: a fire in the paint shop halted production. To continue building what was arguably the most important motorcycle in Ducati's history, production was swiftly relocated to the Cagiva-owned MV Agusta factory in Varese. Here, approximately 3,000 Ducati 916s were assembled, mostly by hand.
Unique Features of the Varese-Built 916s
The Varese-built bikes are known for several unique upgrades compared to those made in Bologna. These include:
Pankl Conrods: High-quality connecting rods enhancing engine performance and reliability.
Programmable P8 ECU: Borrowed from the earlier SP5 race bike, this advanced engine control unit offered more precise tuning capabilities.
Cagiva Logo Stamping: Components like the fuel cap featuring the Cagiva logo, distinguishing these models from their Bologna counterparts.
A Piece of Superbike History
The Ducati 916 is celebrated for its success in the World Superbike Championships, securing victories in 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1998. The Varese-built 916s contributed to this legacy, making them even more desirable for collectors and enthusiasts.
