Ducati 916
The 916 by Massimo Tamburini at Ducati Corse is widely considered the most beautiful motorcycle ever designed. Its 916 cc Testastretta Desmo V-twin, single-sided swingarm, and under-seat exhaust were all functional necessities that combined into sculptural perfection. The 916 dominated World Superbike racing from 1994 to 1998.
