The Ducati 888 motorcycle was the upgrade of the Ducati 851, which had introduced liquid cooling, computerized fuel injection and four-valve heads to the company's legendary two cylinder motors.
In 1991 Ducati increased the capacity of the 851 to 888cc, a further evolution of the Desmoquattro valvetrain concept that mated their long-running and unique desmodromic valve actuation--with cams both opening and, as opposed to springs, closing the valves--to a four valves per cylinder layout.
Continuing refinement yielded the next two generations of Ducati Desmoquattro "hyperbikes," the 916/996 and 999 lines.
