Another vote for the 916 from me I know it's a cliche to refer to it as iconic, but it was the bike that switched me onto Ducati as a marque, the first bike I remembered seeing in a magazine that wasn't "just another motorbike" but stood out as something special.
I am sorry but 916 was just another sportsbike, yes it look better then rest but still was another sportsbike. Monster is iconic that changed the game.
Never did it for me I`m afraid. Nor does the panigale. But that's why I thought the thread might be fun. Everyone is (thank goodness) different. My best mate-monster owner-hates my streetfighter for example.
Thanks David It is a thing of beauty, but I'm biased, although I also love the first 916, beautiful shape Xmas proportions.
I'm almost with Lucazade Sport 1000 1993 900 Monster ( yellow hoop ) 999R SP5 1992 900ss ( white frame black wheels ) To me these are very pretty, but also one's I would also ride. Think if I had an early 750ss which looks beautiful but would be disappointed after riding it......
900 MHR 996 SPS 749S monoposto late model 1098R Desmosedici RR and the blooper.....surely the Americano
The thread is about the most beautiful Ducati. The most iconic Ducati.........that's a different subject. A Honda C90 Cub is more iconic than Marquez's RCV, which would you rather look at. Beautiful bikes for me are (Ducati or otherwise) MHR900 - So pretty 916 - The 1st time I noticed Ducati's. Like I say, it changed motorcycle design in it's time. MV Agusta F4 - Another bike. I spent 2 hours at the NEC staring at it when it was 1st shown. Supermono - Again, very pretty. RD350LC - Simple yet elegant. The YPVS was a dog with the full fairing. Lambretta - made other scoothers look bland in comparison. RC30 - That colour scheme Yamaha R1, Red & white original - Still looks sharp now. Norton Commando - Old or new version. There would be many more and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And the above is not biased, as I don't own any of them. I realise I've went slightly off the "Most beautiful Ducati" subject
