Tamiya Ducati 916 Plastic Kit - 1:12 Scale

1:12 Scale Plastic Kit

Requires assembly, glue and paint.

Ducati, the renowned Italian motorcycle manufacturer, is highly regarded by motorcycle enthusiasts the world over. Their current top-of-the-line "916" bike was unveiled to the public during the 1993 Milan Motor Show. In recent years, Ducati has been a dominant force at the World Superbike Championships. Their 916 was developed using the latest racing technology and expertise, and became a very effective base machine for these Championships. It's a 114-horsepower, 916cc, liquid-cooled L-twin cylinder engine that uses a computer-controlled fuel injection system and Ducati's traditional Desmodromic valve operation system. This valve system uses cam mechanisms for both opening and closing the valves, whereas a conventional system closes the valves only with springs. This powerful engine is mounted in a lightweight, extremely rigid, chrome-molybdenum steel tubular frame.

The rear swing-arm suspension uses a mono-arm for quick tyre changes during competition. Showa's shock absorbers and Brembo brake callipers are used at both ends. The 916 has a 2-stage adjustable caster offset system. Its aerodynamic cowl design is very distinctive, unlike that of other racer-replica bikes. The front cowl has engine air intake openings and mounts the dual headlamps. The fuel tank is ergonomically sculptured to fit the rider's varying posture during hard riding. The 916 is a true street legal racing machine on the leading edge of performance and styling.
