1990 Ducati SP2

1990 Ducati 851 SP2  SOLD 2020

Ducati 851 SP2 – The first ever WSBK homologation road racer!

The Ducati 851 SP2 is the homologation bike built by Ducati specifically to qualify for the 1990 World Superbike series. With eight victories in the 1990 season, Raymond Roche won the first World Superbike Championship title for Ducati on one of these limited production builds. The following year Doug Polen repeated his victory on the 851 SP3, and as history has shown, Ducati would become the team to beat for the next 20 + years, and this is the bike that started it all.

Ducati built only 380 851 SP2’s and this is # 115. Do not get this famous model confused with a run of the mill 851. Although titled 851, the SP2 uses an 888cc engine with H-section Pankl con-rods, 300-watt alternator, and two injectors per cylinder. The SP2 has a close ration gearbox, high spec cams, larger 33mm & 29mm valves, and a 45mm Termignoni exhaust. Chassis improvements included an aluminium rear subframe, upside-down Öhlins front forks, Öhlins rear shock, and fully floating Brembo cast-iron front discs. Due to its high specification & build cost, a new SP2 cost circa 45kAUD in 1990!!.

The SP2 has become incredibly rare and seldom are they found in original condition. Unlike most, this still retains the OEM round mirrors and Cagiva stamped mufflers and brackets, which are simply impossible to find today; all over a very original bike suitable for any collector of the Ducati 851 range. Presently located with our Dutch agent the advertised price includes shipping & arrival charges into Sydney.
