Ducati’s connection with Senna dates back to 1990 when Claudio Castiglioni, then owner of Ducati, gifted Senna an 851 SP. Senna was also among the first to own a Monster 900, using it to attend the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix gala. Their collaboration extended to the Ducati 916 Senna, which was announced shortly before Senna’s untimely death and featured a distinctive anthracite grey, matte black, and red design.
