916SPS ‘Fogarty’ Replica – No.001

As motorsport legends go, ‘Foggy’ is right up with the likes of Doohan, Biaggi, Bayliss and the greats such as Senna and Schumacher. His name has become synonymous with Ducati and their success in World Superbike, they honoured him with a production version of his race bike – the ‘Ducati 916 SPS Fogarty Replica’.

Introduced in 1998 to the UK market as a homologation special, only 202 examples were commissioned by the then importer of Ducati to the UK, ‘Moto Cinelli’, with a proportion of the sale price being given to Bikel himself. He was also presented with a bike, No.002 as at the time bike No.001 was retained by the factory for display.

Bike-iconics have a unique opportunity and are delighted to offer bike No.001 for sale.

Acquired by its current owners in 2011, bike No.001 is part of a private collection of 3 iconics Ducati’s, all of which are in completely original, factory condition and remain unregistered and unridden to date. Stored in a dehumidified, purpose-built show-garage this 916 ‘Foggy’ looks like it has just rolled off the production line, and sits on the original tyres that still have the rubber nibs present.

The authenticity of the bike is fully supported by the documentation retained by the owners and has the original ‘Certificato Di Authenticita’ aluminium plaque each bike was supplied with that details the frame number, engine number, model (Fogarty Replica), number and production date. There is also both keys, the original cover each bike was supplied with, the numbered keyring that matches the identification plaque and the aluminium Termignoni silencers, which have never been fitted as the bike is currently fitted with the bikebon silencers as well as the rear wheel paddock stand.

This opportunity is a truly once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the very first, and possibly only unridden Ducati 916 Fogarty Replica produced and would be the centrepiece of any serious Ducati collection.
