"The 996 is one of the most sought-after superbikes in the world. Awesome looking and immensely powerful, it is a direct descendent of the racing versions that have dominated the World Superbike Championships for nearly a decade." -?

"...The sound is amazing once you hit the mid-range. You can hear the intakes roar, the pipes growl and its love at first twist of the throttle. Rock solid in the corners, gobs of grunt, stylish as hell and wickedly fast. Forget the whiners who complain you should buy an R... Complaining about a 996 is like complaining that a Ferrari is too small, or that a Porsche Turbo gets poor gas mileage and has too small of a back seat! Its ridiculous. Ride hard.

"Unbelievably the 916 has been around since 1994, that’s way back in the time when Yamaha’s FZR1000 was still the current model in the showrooms. When released the 916 didn’t revolutionise the sports bike sector, Honda had already done that with their Fireblade, but it did put that new definition into perhaps the prettiest package of the decade. The 916 is still with us and it looks much the same as it did back in ’94. Most people generally agree that, almost ten years later, it looks up to date. The Ducati has enjoyed gradual updates year by year, and is still arguably at the top of its class. That’s the history lesson, so what’s it like to ride?

In a word, brilliant." - BikeTestUSA.com
