When it debuted, Ducati called the V4 R the “maximum expression of Ducati’s racing DNA, more similar to a racing prototype than any other bike.” At the time, it was the most expensive machine the Bologna firm offered.
Expectedly, the V4 R came heaped with top-shelf components, including Öhlins 43mm NPX25-30 forks up front and a TTX36 shock at the rear, some Brembo Stylema calipers, a STM EVO-SBK dry clutch, an adjustable aluminum swingarm, and a set of forged aluminum Marchesinis. By far the most apparent feature, however, was the winged aero package designed by Ducati Corse.
For the engine, Ducati utilized its 998cc Desmosedici Stradale R V4 to comply with WSBK regulations. Designed to push the limits of track performance, it boasted a lighter build and improved intake efficiency when compared to the 1,103cc Demosedici Stradale of the V4S. On the road, it was capable of putting down 221hp and 91lb-ft of torque. With the race kit installed, riders could bump output up to as much as 234hp.
Keeping everything in check was an impressive suite of electronic aids based around a six-axis Bosch IMU: along with lean-sensitive ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and slide control, you also got adjustable engine braking and ride modes.
As VisorDown put it in its review: “Out on the open road – and the track – the R is as easy going at low speeds and comfortable to ride as the lesser spec’d V4S, with the carbon tipped winglets that peek around the fairing sides being the only clue to the monster that lies within… It’s ballistically fast and like the V4S it’s a physical struggle to feed in the next gear before the 999cc engine slams into the rev-limiter as if it’s slapping you round the face for forgetting to change already. This is what a Ducati should feel like to ride, physical, demanding and engaging, but my god is it rewarding when you get it right!”

“Taking the opportunity to utilize this asset to sow a seed into a business opportunity I’ve seized. For sale is my 2019 Ducati Panigale V4 R — one of the finest, most visceral production superbikes ever built. This particular bike has been meticulously prepared by Boulder Motor Sports, yielding a strong build spec, with tasteful performance and aesthetic upgrades throughout while preserving all OEM parts and bodywork. The bike is currently fitted with Ducati CF race fairings, refinished in Nardo Grey. It has 1,224 original miles and is a riot to ride. Such a masterpiece to behold and experience, whether sitting in the garage or pushing the limits out around the track! This V4R is the real deal; a true weapon and gorgeous to boot. Thank you for your interest.”
Maintenance:
“ The bike has no mechanical issues and has been kept on Pitbull stands in my garage for the majority of the past couple of years. Last season, while I was building my home, it remained in storage for most of the year and was only ridden a handful of times. Given that it’s been sitting for the better part of a year, I recently installed a brand-new lithium battery.”
