  1. Hey everyone! :grinning:

    I think we all agree that the 916 SPS is an amazing bike. But it does have a few quirks, doesn't it?

    Let's have a look at those :D

  2. The Bevel 900's were actually 860 cc's

  3. The engine paint is actually cheese

    good vid btw :upyeah::upyeah:
     
  4. I love these videos.... keep em coming dude.
     
  5. You crack me up everytime watching these mad wonderful videos and yes you'll need a sense humour riding any Ducati motorcycle.Imo
     
  6. So the conspiracy continues :eyes:

    If the bike was from 1994 when they just used whatever they had on shelf to build them, I wouldn't be surprised :laughing:

    I will! :upyeah::)

    As Jeremy Clarkson once said: It wouldn't be a real (Alfa Romeo in that case) if there wasn't something fundamentally wrong with it :D

  10. SPS has unpainted sandcast cases - no cheese here!
    But I would agree that engine paint on other models does not last long enough.

  11. As a long time Alfa owner, I resemble that remark! As a young man, the two motors I really wanted, although neither was the most expensive in the world, were an Alfa 156 and a Ducati 748. Now I am fortunate to have owned two 748s and three 156s, and still own one of each. Italy sure produces something special.
