My Ducati 916 Biposto & My trackday on the CBR

[Jefr0]

Here is my Ducati 916 Biposto which I picked up last night and I am thrilled with it. Only had a little chance to ride it but it does go some and I can't wait to get back on it. My Dad and bro can't wait to have a go either, just sitting there waiting to be ridden.

I got some pics of it earlier, but in the shed. Took them whilst it was raining. I took it out for a while and have just got back and got some more pics, they really don't do it justice, have to get a good camera/photographer or see it in the flesh

The bike came with alot of extras, some below including rear paddock stand, standard shock, disks, pads, this and that really. Here's the 1st set of exhausts that came with it, 54mm, believed to be for 996/998? (standard)

Then the second set of exhausts, termignoni or not termignoni, that is the question - to fit 916.

Then all the carbon extras, I think they are heal plates, swingarm cover, chain guard and exhaust guard and speedo surround, all real carbon fibre too.

Does anyone know how much the standard exhausts to fit 996/998 (I think) how much they might go for?

Same with all the carbon fibre bits pictured, I have no idea, they are all real carbon fibre too. Also unsure on the 'termignoni exhausts'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, finished my exams and as a present my mum bought me and my bro a trackday at brands. First trackday for us both n was nervous, got there n everyone with their track bikes etc, us taking off our numberplates and taping up our mirrors lol. We had our own pits too.

Was a really good experience n I got the bug, I wanna go back already. Was in the novice group but was really suprised, some people looked like they had never been on a bike before. I had my knee down on quite a few of the corners, and was a first to get my left knee down too.

Had a good few races n was one of the better people in the group, overtaking quite alot. Had a race with 2 r1s, did me on the straight (just) and I done them on the corners. Second run out and two people came off at different times. One of them, coming up to a corner, crapped it and went straight, locked up and off in the gravel. The other crash was around that corner but went wide.

Anyway....here's some pics. First 2 are the pro pictures I bought.

And a couple of vids:

In this Vid, if you freeze frame, after the first bike, is my bro on his black r6. After that pack goes past is a red fireblade and then me, was like that for 3 laps. I did him on the corners but he did me on the straights (just)

In this vid is my bro first, then me at about 13 secs.

Was a wicked day, can't wait to do another :hello:

Lovely machine. How much did it set you back?

Not sure what the point of owning a ducati is if you don't fit some aftermarket cans.

[rac3r]

Awesome!

Must cause an earthquake with the termis

Update your current bikes now

[Jefr0]

Cheers Instigator, you heard a 916 with standard cans? They're loud

How much do you think it's worth, my Dad thinks I got a good price and that it's worth alot more than it is.

Thanks racer, haven't tryed the termis yet, not sure if they genuine or not ....also updated current bikes

I don't think the stock cans will be worth anything at all ... who wants stock cans for any bike?!!?!

Also if you ever do a trackday, you are going to need those cans to get through noise regs

Thanks adama, I've always wanted a Ducati and in no other colour than red. Will keep it tidy

Bluey bluey blue, there is the stock cans on the bike, THEN the stock 996/998 (54mm) cans and the carbon fibre exhausts.

People are after standard cans if theirs are damaged or don't have any at all, I think the 54mm cans can be put on a 916 but not straight fit (not sure).

As above about the trackday, there's 3 sets of exhausts

Anyone know how much all the stuff in the picture of carbon fibre is worth? Anyone interested?

[Mord]

Sweet bike.. Later I'd like to get this or 996/998 bikes

[Jefr0]

Cheers big ham, I intend to keep it clean and not let it go either The previous buyer wanted to keep it to sell on in years to come.

Thanks Barry, jealous?

Mord, yeah they nice bikes too, I was just set on a 916 though, but I wouldn't mind having a go on a 996/998.

[The Tot]

Very mint and smart looking bike.

First thing I'd say is invest in some crash bungs or better tyres and you'll thank yourself later on... well bungs for any eventuality such as a low speed sidestand drop etc... Dunlop 207 in wets on a big V-twin is asking a lot from such a wooden tyre (irrespective of what >600cc bike you have).

Very nice Barry, I want to do a track day but will probs take the CBR instead, wouldn't want to bin the Duke.

Thanks titz, I won't be getting crash bungs on there but will get a different set of tyres when needed, they are both brand new at the moment, when I get a bit of cash I'll change them. The tyres not good then I take it?

There's probably a sidestand mod lurking about on Ducati forums so I'll have a look for that.

Fitted the termignoni's the other day:

Thought I'd dig up an old thread

Have owned the Duc now for 4 years and thought I'd update this thread.

It took a lot of getting used to from when I was just used to the CBR but it's nice to have something different to ride when I fancy it.

I'm still on the hunt for a set of genuine termignoni exhausts which aren't just stickered carbon exhausts.

The bike has been great and I had the suspension set up up ProTwins which has made quite a difference. Turns out the WP shock, the spring was a bit too oversized for what should have been put on but he managed to set it up well still.

I did a track day at Brands Hatch on it which was fun and scary at the same time! On approaching druids coming up the hill I had overcooked it, was heavily braking but then had to go into the gravel. Luckily it stayed upright and no damage

https://img12.imageshack.us/img12/941/img2569.png

Since owning the bike I've had no problems...so far? It's been reliable for me since owning it, only thing that I've had to change is the chain and sprockets. It's had the belts done every 2 years but no 'expected' electrical faults which has been nice.

Last year one of the exhaust protectors came off somehow as it's welded and it's always been on my to do list. So yesterday I needed to take the end cans off then just the next section of the exhaust.

Well...kind of got carried away and removed the entire exhaust except the headers then went on a big cleaning spree. The exhaust will be getting welded this week so the bracket can go back on. I'll leave the pictures do the talking and I'll update this thread soon.

So when I get the exhaust welded I'll put it all back on until I find some termignonis, so if you hear of any, please let me know

Cool stuff, keep an eye out on ebay, gumtree and Ducati Forum for the exhausts. Put up a wanted add too maybe

[aceofhearts]

Yes its the same as the one on my 748

[Jefr0]

As above, yes it's a standard damper.

Rac3r, I'll put an add in the wanted, going to measure my exhaust first as I know there is different sizes. Cheers

Can a 916 wheelie without spitting oil like the 748 ?

It's the only reason I don't currently own a 748, might try the 916.
