The Ducati 916 is a sport motorcycle manufactured by Ducati. First released in 1994, it was admired because of its epochally new design and outstanding technical features. Designed by Massimo Tamburini, it was later replaced by the 996 and 998 with similar design but revised engines and even more power.

Whilst it lacked the outright power levels of the Japanese inline four-cylinder opposition, its excellent handling more than made up for the deficiency.
