lol. thx for the laugh,

I own a V2 and it's a great bike. It's a pity that they are ending production because V2 has something special about it. And this limited version looks really amazing

Basically a bayliss with a few carbon bits shoved on

Love my V2, the problem with this new one is they aren’t giving it enough upgrades to justify the price for me, it’s just a Bayliss but with a better paint job. I think all Ducati owners can agree that we aren’t shy of spending money but if I was about to spunk 23k on a bike then I’d at least want an Akra.

If Ducati no longer make a performance V2 it will be a sad day and the end of a beautiful era. V4's are cool, but they are no V2 - which is such a big part of Ducati's heritage.

Struggling with sales…..so make a massively more expensive version. Great idea.

Well it is German

That is a drop dead gorgeous bike. What I do struggle with, is why Akra’s don’t come standard on a LTD edition model with that price tag. That’ll be not far short of £30k with full Akra’s. The standard cans really don’t sound that great. I’ll keep my 1199s for now.

I think Ducati will come up with a new spring valve V2 with just a touch less power then the superquadro to be used in the a next Panigale/Streetfighter V2 and all lineup currently using the 950 engine (DesertX, Supersport, Monster, etc).

Love it! Have to have it. Already contacted my dealer to reserve an allocation. Forze Ducati! 🇮🇹

Whatever it is MotoBob, it’s not a bargain !

Agree with you 1000%, beautiful bike and the V2 is the “street” version to ride. In reality, several years back, 155hp is a bunch, most of these “mid” sport bikes were 130 sub. These days the mid is less than 100hp. Price seems to be driving this more than capabilities.

Loved it so much, bought one for my Mrs❤

Well I am lucky enough to hold this in my garage from past few months. Adrenaline pumping by just looking at it this marvellous tribute edition ❤️

They ABSOLUTELY have to turn the wick up on the supersport if they get rid of the V2. A Supersport 1200s , with cruise control, would fit the bill nicely!

Every well! Keep the information coming!

The problem with the V2 is that yes it's very powerful but the price difference is not that much to a Japanese 1000cc bike, with bikes such as the R1 and the ZX10R having already insane specs, and a lot more horsepower you don't really see the point in a V2, according to the sheet and the video it says it makes around 155hp but if we're being honest you wouldn't pay that similar amount for a V2 (around 17-18k pounds I think the video said) and you'd get something like a GSXR750 instead which has similar power and good specs. Like come on even if it's a special edition only people who will leave it in a garage for decades is going to buy it, no one will realistically track it when they can buy an arguably better track bike in a cheaper 600cc or a cheaper Japanese 1000cc. I just feel the Ducati name doesn't have enough weight in this case (regarding the v2). The superquadro is definitely beautiful and I'd love to have it but unless I had unlimited money, the bike currently sits at the bottom of the list regarding new bikes to buy.

It’s a mistake! Actually I will buy a V2 over a V4. I don’t care the extra power. V2 is found enough.

The Panigale V2 is Ducati’s World Supersport bike. You think they are going to discontinue it? The issue with the Panigale V2 is that it’s too manic for it’s class. It’s detuned in WSSP trim, and all of the new SSP entrants are producing 125-130hp. This isn’t a coincidence. Ducati will probably make a new machine with less power. If they are smart it will be 916cc. The R homologation will probably be the literal race hardware with headlights and mirrors.

Considering this is the bike to be on in World Super Sport & British Super Sport, it's a very curious move. Especially since the amount of investment Corse have made to get Bulega to win the Championship last year, and they will probably win it again this year. I can only assume they will come out with a newer engine or even complete bike, but something that will still be eligible for Super Sport racing? This bike still outsells other bikes in their range, so makes no sense......

I'd like to see the Supersport with the Multistrada v4 motor fitted.

I’ll take 2 !!

Love the V2, wonder what they will replace it with?

Ducati 18 months out from your centennial I hope you are putting together a stellar stable for 100 bike run priced at $100K pick from your greatest hits make a neo/retro version of a Paul smart a hailwood a polen 100 of each

I’ve had a Panigale V2 and now ride a Panigale 959 Corse Edition. Basically same engine as this. My 959 gets WAY more compliments than my white Panigale V2 which was two years newer than my 959 but I can’t justify this astronomical price tag for the same performance as my 2021 V2 and current 2019 Panigale 959 Corse Edition. By the way, my profile pic is my first Ducati. 2016 939 Super Sport.

Yum Yum !!!

Troy bayliss version looks far more attractive with its racing retro livery. Spéculation doesn’t drive passion ✌️

The trouble with these really expensive motorbikes is , you would be frightened to take them out , turn your back in a second and there be stolen 🤪🤪👍

They should NOT divest their brand of twins. What they really need is something with more bark, thump, spice..... while inheriting their recent times of increased reliability and longevity. They've gotten too soft with the sound and feel of the twin. The last twins they made which produced this sort of ethos were the 1098 and 1198. The only twins they'll retain are the old air-cooled lumps in the Scramblers, or the softy 937 twin in the Monster and Supersport. They need some stonking, barking, snorty twin with 2-valves, big cams, liquid cooling, wet clutch, but tuned for fat torque and lower RPM peak (long stroke). Like an American V8, putting out tire smoking torque out of the hole, and not needing to rev to 13,000 rpm.

I think this has run its course. It is not a Superbike and not in the Supertwin range either. I suspect they will come back with a bike that will look a bit more like the Aprilia RS 660 - geat performance and tech and a better price point.

Why? The super quadro seems like a promising engine when it comes to other application... Had a good torque/hp ratio and has a charcter...

A few years ago the head of Ducati stated that all engines would be a V4. I had a deposit on a V2 & cancelled it. Was a matter of time before it was cancelled.

Continue 👏 vlog.

I saw an ad for this today and the first thought was if this is legit Motobob will have a video.

To bad that Ducati potentially killing such a legendary engine and bike. Another great video keep it up and greetings from Slovenia 😊😊❤❤

I wouldn’t be surprised if this engine was pushed down the lineup to the SS and Monster leaving room for a small bore V4 to leverage on the upcoming MotoGP racing

I don't think there will be a new V2 engine. When I ordered a brand new Streetfighter V2 from my local Ducati dealer here in Germany last week, he told me that there will soon be no more Streetfighter/Panigale V2s as the engines will no longer be homologated. As far as the Final Edition of the Panigale is concerned, on the one hand I think it's a nice homage to the Panigale V2, but on the other hand I think the price is exorbitant and I would have liked more. Brembo Stylema and Marchesini forged rims would have been nice.

They not gonna stop with the V2... There just on a drive in de SSP championship! I guess a change in the engine

What twins will be on offer for the centennial it's a must the scrambler?

If Ducati would use the 1260 V twin.. 175 wheel HP (slightly tuned) and over 110ft tq.. Would you be the better engine option

Would it still be raced at the world supersport championship just like the R1 in wsbk?

Having raced against a WSB rider who wore the number 1 on a V2 Ducati well before Troy Bayliss made his debut as a wildcard racer on a 250 two stroke post him winning the Australian 250 cc production series on an RGV-250 (the class I also started in, just like most of our world champions). Then it does come with more appeal. Similar story for you UK based enthusiasts from the 90’s when Foggy was King. No doubt at time of writing this they will already have been sold as the largest Ducati dealership in Melbourne isn’t taking any orders (and they get everything). A justifiable price increase for what you get as it would cost more to make the same upgrades.

It's basically an even more expensive bayliss edition🤡

They will probably make an inline twin from the v4 engine for the more budget friendly bikes, it is pretty sad that manufacturers simply think about cost savings in manufacturing.

I was about to order a V2 Streetfighter, but that will surely be discontinued soon as well. I don't need or want 207 bhp, but I want more than 113. Hopefully Ducati will bring out a new medium capacity engine around the 150/160 bhp range and don't just do a detuned version of the V4, like on the Multistrada. Would you order a V2 now or await the replacement not knowing what it might be?

They will probably just increase the displacement and give it another name. Ducati just having one sports bike and one sports tourer is not unheard of but they are a performance brand so…

Surely they keep the streetfighter v2 platform going.

Wait so the V2 is going away like the R6 ? Or will they release on other markets around the world.

A V4 599cc is on the horizon…..

Does this mean the v2 Streetfighter will be no more also?

The big problem about the V2/950 is that it has too much power for a supersport and too little power for a high end hypersport. In my opinion it is the perfect sports bike, but unfortunately the market don’t like things that can’t be compared with anything else unless it has a very well defined value proposition (E.g. H-Ds, H2 family). For this reason I strongly believe next Ducati’s sports bile will be 100-ish hp, 700-ish cc and two cylinder (maybe still V?).

The problem is that is the price of a s1000rr and realistically gets outperformed by it in almost everything except feel. The street triple rs comes close in performance and costs about 30% less. The Panigale is probably the most exciting of the bunch but it is about 20% to expensive for the performance.

Pity... just pity... And actually fed up with all these "limited editions".

End of an era... sad. But it's emissions regs that are killing this - hard to keep them down on a large capacity, price point V2 super bike. That was always behind the move to excessive V4. But a shame, because ~150bhp is ideal for road lunacy and track-day fun. A sweet spot for the enthusiast amateur. That said, the 1198R was peak V-Twin and the 1199S was very good. Not convinced by the paint job here either - very Italian/Spanish teen. Number boards with a '1?' hmm... then an engine doodle and a 'V2' and stripes... total mess.

Twins are easier to certify for emissions than 4-cylinder bikes, generally. Twins are not easier to race in an SBK formula with engine life regulations and cost controls. The Ducati twin is not going anywhere. If anything, it’s more likely the Superbike will return to two-cylinders when the next SBK rules are introduced.

This design on v2 looked very nice on V4s (not V4S). Nowadays panigale V4s with winglets looks horrible.

Just be aware if you buy one of these Ducati is laughing at you

As a dedicated Ducati collector of 35 years, this one is a pass for me.
