Not a bad build for an 851.

So with the tri colour 851 in the first post, was it released with the 888 motor much like the 1098r was released with the next generation 1198 motor?

So in effect the "race" model of the time?

Excuse my poor knowledge.

EDIT:

Doug Polen won 17 of 23 World Superbike races in 1991. He won the world championship that year and again in 1992 riding the formidable Ducati 888. Although the engine capacity on Ducati’s production bikes had been 888cc for nearly four years, it wasn’t until late 1991 that Ducati changed the name from 851 to 888.

Ok should of clicked the second link

1989 851's came with an 851.
Race bikes tested an 888cc engine at end of season
then ran 888cc engines after 1989.

SP2 was first 851 to run a 888cc on the road.

Cool thanks, Impressive specs for period.

Oh the second post is of an 888 SPS, now that would be an awesome bike to have.

Think it was an ECU and Exhaust cam change and you had a pretty close bike
to being a Corsa....

The early Ducati SP's were something else.
I mean hand built, engines out of hand built race department.

fanless radiator - not much fun on the road
