Need wings to fly ? Ducati V4 Superleggera ! Keep your daughters inside 😆.
Today i was lucky enough to have a close look at this beast, 234 hp for 152 kilos ...... there, i said it , nothing more to say ?
A Ducati Panigale looks nice from any angle, okay those wings might be a bit over the top but they do make a huge difference .... in MotoGP at least. These exact (?) same wings were used by Ducati during the 2016 MotoGp season and got banned afterwards. These days the wings have to be smaller.
I will let the pics speak for themselves.
Titanium, aluminium, carbon fibre, for a road bike totally useless but this is a bike for the track. Offcourse with a 100K price tag you won’t see many people giving it the beans at full speed on a crazy fast race track, apart from some crazy journalists and a handfull of owners.
Carbon rear swingarm, i remeber back in 1997 when i had to ride my friends 916 SPS the first 1000 km, we changed to magnesium wheels and magnesium rear swingarm. This changed the bike completely, as if you skipped a whole generation.
Carbon frame, need i say more ?
The Akrapovic racing exhaust in titanium, i believe the bike also comes with the standard Akrapovic titanium exhaust 😂. Yes, i’m being serious here.
The main tech specs .....
And a picture of me in my dreams 🤓.

And yet ...
... they always do ... well better in terms of hard numbers, maybe not in terms of fun.
Soo true, numbers say a lot !
But not the whole story. Numbers are fascinating, but you can’t explain fun in numbers
Cool to see how it's constructed, but that's too much for me
I'd feel lucky to be alive after riding a 180 kilo bike with 234hp. Maybe for world superbike track competition, but it's probably tough to enjoy it at road speeds. I'll take an air-cooled Moto Guzzi for the road. Best, Tim
Hehe 152 kilo with 234 hp.
After having done a few 100 km with the standard 174 kilo and 214 hp Panigale V4 i can only guess how much easier this Superleggera must be to ride on the road. You can enjoy ‘low’ speeds on this bike but the problem is that you can very easily enjoy extr...
Actually....
.... back in 1995 ish i was riding my CBR 600 at 240 kph next to my friend on his Kawasaki and just for the fun of it i was waving at him while overtaking 🤪. This is a iphone shot from an imac screen showing a head cam movie on the autobahn(hmmm hmmmm😜) i...
Wow thats one amazing machine.
A true beast imho . With that power to weight ratio (and price tag)its almost scary to drive i guess . Thanks for sharing
Probably not soo difficult to ride for most people.
Anyway, mere mortals, even good riders won’t be able to use 50% of its potential.
Stunning but I wonder how many of these will ever be ridden properly
My V4S is already plenty fast so this must be insane. Can’t imagine taking something of that value and rarity to the track and these are way too much for the road. The wings don’t generate downforce until you are well into triple digits. Personally I don’...
My guess.
Once you get used (😂) to the ‘normal’ V4 you probably won’t yave any difficulties with this one. Like you say, maybe 50 will be ridden from time to time, maybe 100/200 will be ridden once a year and a handfull will be used on a regular base. Another deale...
Why were the original wings banned after 2016?
This is an amazing feat of engineering.
Because of the size i guess.
I think the year after there were some regulations concerning size because it would probably get out of hand 😂.
My pleasure !
It probably is as close to a MotoGP as you can get, along with the Aprillia RSV4. But back in 2007/2008 the Desmoseidici was pretty much a real MotoGP bike, be it with a detuned engine to last longer and some less exotic (expensive) materials where possib...
