Ducati 888 SP5 (1993 - restored)

Something truly special, a restored 888 SP5. The final incarnation of the multiple Superbike champion range of 851 and 888 Superbikes. These are the bikes that put Ducati at the head of the field in Superbikes and that helped create the position that Ducati enjoy now.

Our bike is nuber 15 of the very limited run of only 500 SP5s made for the entire world market: We have completed a careful restoration of the bike in order to retain some of its patina while ensuring it perform as well as when it was new.

Due to the rarity and nature of the bike, we only use the bike on tours, not for rental

Please remember we will be riding on public roads and that all riders must demonstrate common sense and safe riding. Our guide is responsible for gauging the speed that is suitable for the group and the conditions. We ask you to respect the guide's opinions!

Our signature fleet of sportsbikes and sports tourers are prepared for fast road riding with sports tyres and performance brake pads. Exhausts are generally standard (save the occasional Termignoni/Zard). Tyres are generally Pirelli Diablo/Supercorsa Pro, Michelin dual compaund radials or similar.

When track riding is part of a tour/package we still expect to see riders demonstrating common sense. We will provide track compound tyres, ensure that brakes/clutch/suspension etc are in ideal condition and provide mechanic support to help with suspension setup etc. However you, the rider, remain responsible for damage to bikes under your control (and stating that you lost control before the accident is not an excuse!) (Available for 848/999/749/Sportclassic Sport/Monster/Hypermotard only)

Unlike other tour companies we offer high performance motorcycles designed, equipped and maintained to perform well. We require a declaration of riding experience from all clients and will stop people who we think are riding dangerously and/or without respect for other road and track users

Although superbikes are our 'signature' motorcycle, it is not the only bike we offer or the only way of riding. We know some riders are looking for more comfort, improved manoeuvrability or just a different style. If your riding style is more akin to these bikes do not worry, our tours and groups are designed to suit all riding styles and we aim to maximise enjoyment for all riders and passengers.
