2018 was a momentous year in Ducati’s history – after years of producing V-Twin superbikes, the Italian marque released an all-new lineup centered around a 1,103cc V4 producing (at minimum) 211 horsepower and 91 lb-ft of torque.
The base model was impressive in its own right, but an additional six grand bought you the “S” model, which came with upgrades such as Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, Öhlins electronic suspension — consisting of NIX30 forks, a TTX36 shock, and a steering damper — minor cosmetic tweaks, and a seven pound reduction to bring curb weight down to 430 pounds.
This example is VIN: ZDMDAGNW6JB000776. The seller is our buddy Kaming Ko – he is the original owner, he purchased it new from GP Cycles in San Diego, California as part of their first shipment of this model.
The odometer shows 2,154 miles.
It is US and California-emissions compliant.

In 2018, Ducati hosted a “Race of Champions” during their annual celebration called World Ducati Week. Thirteen legendary riders were scheduled to duke it out on the new Panigale V4 S at Misano, though Chaz Davies unfortunately got injured before the race and was unable to compete. Each bike had a specific livery in honor of the rider, and the bikes were then auctioned off. Troy Bayliss’ bike caught the most attention, selling for a stunning $139,000 (the next closest bike was $72,200 Euros). Kaming had the OEM fairings on his bike painted to match the livery of Troy’s Race of Champions race bike.
