2024 30th Anniversary 916 Special Edition

I don’t know. I don’t think an old looking Panigale V4 would have appeal. The 916 was good in its day but it looks like a really old bike next to a Panigale V4. I could see that being a project for some one off custom shop; taking a modern V4 and working it into a 916.

I can appreciate that, but look what they produced with the 1098. The 999 was a disaster, however quite sought after in the present, and Ducati couldn’t produce enough 1098’s soon enough. All quantities were near sold out in every color presale. Definitely go back to a rendition of the 916/1098 styling.
 
Will this be an ongoing tradition every five years?

Last time, Ducati did this for the 25th Anniversary:

You know some YouTuber is going to get one and gush all over it like it isn’t just a tarted up V4.

Better to buy one brand new in the crate, leave it in the crate, and wait 5 years...

... fast forward 5 years ...

Ducati announces the all new 2029 35th Anniversary 916 Special Edition, and then the YouTuber can do an unboxing video on an old Ducati for more views 😂
 
Their idea of paying tribute to the beauty of the original design is to paint the SP2 red and write ‘916’ on it… 🫣

They are saying their special oil gives more power for dry clutch models - not just the V4R…
