To celebrate its 100th anniversary, Ducati has unveiled one of its most ambitious special edition projects yet, the Collezione 100. Revealed at the Mugello MotoGP circuit ahead of the Italian Grand Prix, the collection consists of ten limited-edition motorcycles, each inspired by a legendary Ducati from the brand’s rich history.
Every model in the range is limited to just 100 numbered units worldwide, making the Collezione 100 an instant collector’s dream.

The collection spans almost Ducati’s entire modern lineup, including the Panigale, Streetfighter, Monster, Diavel, Multistrada, Scrambler, Hypermotard and DesertX families. Each motorcycle wears a paint scheme inspired by a historic Ducati race or road bike from the past.
Some of the standout pairings include the Panigale V4 S inspired by the iconic 1972 Imola Desmo, the Panigale V2 S paying tribute to the 1975 Super Sport Desmo, and the Monster 100 drawing inspiration from the Monster S4Rs Tricolore.

While some combinations feel like natural successors, others are more experimental. The DesertX 100, inspired by the Pantah “Ice”, and the Hypermotard V2 SP with styling borrowed from the 860 “24 Horas de Montjuïc” racer certainly stand out for their unusual interpretations.
Thankfully, Ducati hasn’t stopped at cosmetic upgrades. Every Collezione 100 motorcycle gets Alcantara or leather seats with embroidered Ducati logos, exclusive Centenario Bronze brake callipers, bronze detailing on the fuel cap and numbered plaques mounted on the bike.

Interestingly, Ducati has also equipped most models with a dry clutch setup, including V2-powered bikes for the first time. The only exceptions are the Scrambler 100 and DesertX 100.
Buyers also receive a matching rear stand, bike cover, certificate of authenticity and special startup animation. In select markets, Ducati will even offer matching helmets and riding jackets.

With just 100 units of each model being produced globally, the Collezione 100 motorcycles are expected to sell out almost instantly. Pricing hasn’t been revealed yet, but exclusivity like this rarely comes cheap.
For Ducati fans, though, this collection feels like far more than a sticker job; it’s a celebration of a century of racing heritage, iconic design and Italian motorcycling passion.
