1: Ducati 916, 6 WSB titles

The most beautiful bike ever made?the most successful superbike? It even grew into 955, 996 and 998Testastretta race versions. As Foggy says: “I saw it for the first time and thought ‘that’s too beautiful to ride, what if I drop it?’ It was a Ferrari on two wheels, just an amazing piece of art and machinery and so ahead of its time. When I went out on track for the first time it wasn’t easy to ride: in fact the old 888 was better.the 916 racer was nervous, short twitchy… we made the thing longer overall with a long swingarm then kicked the front out and it was suddenly built for my style of riding.” Prices from: £4000
