After a prosperous year in the motorsports vertical, Italian bike maker Ducati unveiled a series of five Panigale V2 and Panigale V4 limited-edition models. The models will take inspiration from the victories of Alvaro Bautista in the World Superbike Championship, Nicolo Bulega in the World Supersport title, Francesco Bagnaia in MotoGP, and Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi in MotoGP.
Five limited-edition units of the Panigale V2 and Panigale V4
Five limited-edition Ducati Panigale V2 and V4 models have been unveiled by the company with the livery of their respective 2023 MotoGP, World and World champions.
The 2023 MotoGP World Champions were Ducati and Francesco Bagnaia, with Mooney VR46 Racing Team’s Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin finishing second and third respectively.

Each motorcycle bears the official team colors and signature of the respective rider.
Meanwhile, Alvaro Bautista’s second World Superbike title win at the Jerez opener is referenced in the distinctive Ducati Giallo livery. The same livery was well received at the Misano round, where the Ducati rider emerged victorious. Additionally, the bike comes with the company’s brushed aluminum tank, gray Marchesini forged wheels, and carbon fiber winglets. The Panigale V4 Bautista 2023 World Champion Replica, signed by the rider, will be produced in 219 units.
Homologated Akrapovic exhaust, nine-disc dry clutch, TFT instrument dashboard, billet aluminum Rizoma foot pegs that are adjustable, and a GPS module for lap time monitoring will be standard on all versions. Then, every part of the vehicle, including the front brake, alternator cover, rear mudguard, and exhaust manifold, is made of carbon fiber.
