2022 Ducati Panigale

Alf said:

Looks like the V4R will not show up until the first quarter/half of 2022. The current R has been around for quite some time now, relatively speaking.

will that be for the 23 season?

Not sure. I think the WSBK rules allow the manufacturers to deliver the production bikes "late".

I was browsing several dealers online and one had a listing for a 2022 V4R with the delivery being Q1 of 2022. Just a stock photo of the old V4R.

I’m definitely not unhappy about my V4SP purchase, regardless of any upgrades to newer V4s. I now have 4 SP models, 2 are SBKs, in my garage with the latest 2021 V4SP Ducati with the Desmosedici Stradale engine purchased exactly 10 years after my 2011 1198SP with the Testastretta Evoluzione engine. Nothing has yet equaled the torque of the Big Dog engine. Tuned, my “old tech” 1198 puts 105lbft peak (182whp) to the wheel at 8k rpm, but starts with 80lbft at only 4k rpms. 80lbft is closer the peak in most other SBKs

BEWARY of yanking the throttle on the Big Dog as it will get ahead of you so fast you’ll never catch up until you let off or fall off! Later engine designs build to the peak much more linearly and are easier to ride. There will never(?) be another engine like the last 1198 testastretta. I LOVE my 2011 1198SP!

Anyway, the more recent SP versions seem to be released just before major upgrades anyway. Right after the 1198SP Ducati released the brand new design Panigale. I wasn’t unhappy with my new “old tech” SP then and I’m not unhappy with my newer “old tech” SP now.

If you’re chasing the latest tech to purchase, then you’re doomed to be unhappy anyway. Just sayin’…
