The SPO was the American-market stand-in for the SP5, created so a Ducati could be homologated for AMA Superbike racing. It combined the 888 Strada's engine with many SP5 chassis parts, a single seat, upswept exhaust and an Öhlins shock, and 1994 versions added a carbon front mudguard and bronze wheels.
