Sebastian Rochon’s lifelong passion for Ducati motorcycles has shaped his career. After training as a Ducati technician in Brazil, he founded SR Corse in 2012.

Initially focused on maintenance and racing, the shop specializes in restorations, custom projects, and parts fabrication.

One such project is a stunning cafe racer built from a dilapidated 1994 Ducati 916, a legendary motorcycle that few would dare to modify.

In a complete overhaul, a battered Ducati 916 received a new lease on life at the hands of SR Corse.

With most of the original parts missing or unusable, the workshop wasted no time diving into a comprehensive transformation.

Their focus first went to the front end, where a modern Ducati 848 donated its upside down forks, brakes, and calipers.

Improved handling came courtesy of a steering damper from a 999, while the rear suspension received a similar upgrade. Lightweight magnesium Marvic wheels wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires completed the rolling chassis.
