These Ducati Panigale V4s Are Loud & Absolutely Gorgeous

Ducati is celebrating quite a remarkable year which saw it win both the MotoGP and Superbike World Championship titles. It is now commemorating the achievements with the unveiling of two limited-edition motorcycles: the Panigale V4 Bagnaia 2022 World Champion Replica and the Panigale V4 Bautista World Champion Replica. Pecco Bagnaia’s MotoGP title marks the first for Ducati since Casey Stoner won his first premier class championship in 2007, while Álvaro Bautista took Ducati’s first championship in World Superbike since 2011. Surely, a reason to celebrate.

Both models are based on the already-potent Panigale V4 S, but receive a number of technical and aesthetic upgrades. Much of the functional upgrades are influenced by the track-ready V4 SP2, including an STM-EVO dry clutch, Akrapovic exhaust, top-shelf Brembo Stylema R brake calipers with a remote-adjustable MCS master cylinder and billet Rizoma rearsets. The Ducati Data Analyzer+ data acquisition system is also standard equipment.

Each model is dressed in the rider’s respective racing livery of the 2022 season and signature on the fuel tank. They are also given a carbon fibre treatment on the front and rear fenders, front brake ducts, alternator cover, and swingarm cover. The Bautista model receives a brushed aluminum fuel tank found on the more premium Panigale V4 R. Finishing touches for both models include a special packing case, custom bike cover, and certificate of authenticity.

A run of 260 units will be made for each model. Given that we got the Troy Bayliss edition here, a couple of units of these beauties too could be allocated to India.
