I’m a huge sportbike guy, and typically, whenever there’s something new and performance-oriented on the market, I’m quick to check it out and gush all over it. It doesn’t really need to be a top-tier superbike, either. Even small to mid-displacement sports and naked bikes are enough to fire up my ADHD for all things sporty.
So, naturally, when Ducati unveiled its brand new Panigale V4 and V2 not too long ago, I was absolutely hooked. But interestingly, I find the V2 more interesting, not because of the tech or the lightweight package it brings to the table per se, but rather because of how much more accessible and usable it has become.
And while I can’t wait to see the new Panigale V2 up close and personal, the topic of today’s story is the outgoing version of Ducati’s middleweight sportbike—and it’s been given quite the sendoff by the folks over at GP Products.
