Winning is becoming a serious habit for Ducati’s Corse racing division. Not only did it repeat the incredible MotoGP and WSBK double championship win of 2022, but the Bologna outfit also snapped up the 2023 WSSP and BSB titles. And it’s marking its 2023 success with not one, not two, but FIVE special limited edition Panigale race replicas. There are four Panigale V4 specials, painted in the colours of MotoGP champ Pecco Bagnai, WSBK champ Alvaro Bautista, Jorge Martin’s Pramac MotoGP bike and Marco Bezzechi’s VR46 machine. The firm has also released a special Panigale V2 to mark that World Supersport success: a Nicolo Bulega Aruba.it replica.

The bikes are being made in weird numbers too, which correspond to the riders’ race numbers, with a hundred or two added on (or not) where needed: 263 of the yellow Bagnai bike; 219 of the Bautista rep; 189 Jorge Martin bikes; 72 Bezzechi reps; and 111 V2 Bulega replicas. The V4 Panigales are all S models, which come with posh track parts, including carbon fibre bodywork, Akrapovic race pipes, STM-EVO dry clutch kits, Rizoma rearsets, and much more. The V2 also gets special Öhlins suspension, and each bike is individually autographed on the fuel tank by the respective rider – nice. No word on prices for the bikes – but get along to your dealer for more info. www.ducati.com
