Panigale V4

The Panigale V4 brings Ducati's MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale V4 to the street with class-leading electronics and Brembo Stylema brakes — a leading benchmark in the premium superbike segment and the top of Ducati's sport lineup. Desmodromic valve service (every 15,000 miles, ~$1,500+) and timing belt replacement are meaningful ongoing costs; 2018–2020 models had an NHTSA crank recall — verify remedy status on any used example before purchase.
