THE BIKE SPECIALISTS, TRADING STANDARD AWARD WINNERS FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. Bike ID: #9602 We at The Bike Specialists are honoured to present our very own Ducati 916/ 996 Isle of Man Classic TT race bike, meticulously prepared to the highest standard and campaigned by legendary road racer Mike Browne. Mike, a celebrated road racer and the winner of the 2024 Senior Classic TT, he came to victory in 2024 on the bike that we sponsored in conjunction with Key racing. Mike continues to shape his reputation in both Classic and modern TT competition, brought this machine to life with precision and passion. Although the 2025 Isle of Man TT Classic was unfortunately called off due to adverse weather conditions, it was deeply disappointing that this Ducati never got the chance to race after the countless man hours, late nights and attention to detail poured into its preparation. That said, the bike did complete qualifying laps on the Mountain Course, proving both its capability and readiness to compete at the highest level. In our belief bringing a Classic TT 916/ 996 race bike to the Mountain Course is an achievement in itself, it was a genuine honour to stand alongside Mike Browne and Key racing, in the journey and be part of something so special. Even without taking the start, this machine tells a powerful story of passion, commitment and respect for one of the greatest road races in the world. The bike was expertly built and maintained by Key Racing for the 2025 TT Classic, using only top tier components from respected names within the racing world. The build features specialist support from JHP Coventry, alongside premium Speed Carbon bodywork, including a carbon belly pan. Performance has been elevated with a full Termignoni 54mm exhaust system, Dymag forged wheels, Translogic quickshifter, Sigma slipper clutch, upgraded suspension with Maxton GP30 front cartridges and GP10 rear monoshock, Key racing extended aluminium rear swing arm, 50mm Throttle bodies, Brembo rad
