When I first saw a picture of the (then) new 916 I couldn't believe what I was looking at. A motorcycle had no right to look that good!! I still feel the same 25+ years on. OK I have never owned one as, being rather short in stature, it was too high for me. I do however have a 748 and the looks are the same.
Ahhh your saying caus it won more races than any other... yes good point, but to be fair back in the day ( good old days) it wasn’t always the prettiest girl who won the Miss World title.. Sometimes it was down to ( in bike terms) the size of their air bags, or how well they carried theirselves eg handling, what her weave ( hair) looked lik, eg their carbon composite, intelligence, eg their engine management etc. When it came to colour mind I never saw any yellow models winning, a few reds deff did mind.. I think model number 916 from Italy x always charmed the judges with her Latin looks while model number 999 often won purely for she had really odd looking headlights... X
He was referring to a race bike, and the best looking Ducati Race bike ever decided by this very Forum in a poll was the 999
