Ever been the kind of bloke to look at a beauty Panigale V2 and think to yourself, “It’s gorgeous, but man – wouldn’t it be super cool if it came in BLACK…?”
We got you – and so does our favorite Bologna bike brand.
New for 2023, Ducati drags their 2024 Panigale V2 to the limelight, now available in a “Black on Black” livery scheme, which pits dark matte grey against glossy black accents and “red details on the tank, fairings, and wheels” (via Ducati’s recent press release).
The tone choice is accentuated by the new seat graphics, as well as Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa rubber (standard), rolling the supersport’s monocoque chassis along to the tune of the 955cc Superquadro’s 155hp @ 10,750rpm and 76.7ft-lbs. (104 Nm) of torque @ 9,000rpm.
Ducati’s iconic twin-cylinder package is wrapped up in a beautifully comprehensive electronic package, with the six-axis inertial platform boasting ABS Cornering EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) and a sweet EVO 2 Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO – all of which can be had, starting from an MSRP of $18,595 USD / $20,895 CAD.
Expect to see this machine sometime in the third quarter of this year, and happy yoinking in the meantime.
