No, it was a lechler base coat and high solids clear of some sort. Reds are hard to match but with so many angles and shadows a good match by eye will be fine.

Ride the damn bike ......., after a triple latte please!!!
I have to apologize. Dealer just got back to me. The bike with the number 2223 on the clamps was a BAYLISS V2. It is parked in the showroom right next to the V4 SP2
Apologize again.

Bikes are a bad place to invest, numbered triple, revolutionary, ground breaking, or not.
Buy your bike, ride it or look at it, enjoy it.
Desmosidici has only just started rising in value, but only after the value of money has declined. In real terms, it hasn't gone up at all. Every Superleggera is worth a fraction of original value, as is the HP4 Race.
Ride and enjoy
Agreeing and disagreeing in the sense that as pure monetary investment bikes are, agreed, dubious. In the sense that "investing in yourself" is the best possible investment, bikes are up there with the right education, a good bed, clean air, and finding your tribe, your path, doing whatever it takes to realize yourself.
Shiny red bikes are vehicles to spirituality, brain cleansing, and generally healing on all profound levels, mentors, teachers, partners, muses and friends.
That's a good investment.

In that line of thinking, modding, may just be that "Dumbo feather" that you need to make it fly.
Ok.
All the bitching around the value add of that CF part or €1,5k rearset and if today's skill level deserves... if that's what it takes.
That's what it takes. It's not something you can argue about.
Just go ....... ride it. hahaa

Great comments lads, we all know this on some level that no amount of mods can make up for seat time. Bikes used to have vinyl tires, glass brakes and rubber frames, but these modern bikes are soooooo good and anyone here with a Panigale from any era is totally spoilt.

I did think it sounded more like a Bayliss number. Thanks for confirming.

Surprising that they sold 2000+ of those. Bayliss is $3500 more than base. At 40% margin that’s close to $3M profit!

In the absence of a V2S or some other higher-spec version I think the Bayliss is nice and I’m not surprised it’s proven to be popular. I saw one for the first time recently and it looks great with the Ohlins and the livery. If it had been in the showroom instead of the SP2 then I might have gone for the Bayliss and saved some money. It’s certainly more than enough for the road and no doubt a lot of fun on track.

I’d track it if I had one - it’s not like it’s a limited edition.

Just buy a 1199/959 hybrid with a non factual paint job….
Atm this lines up with all the other parts bin ‘specials’ where Ducati make money not motorbikes! Brilliant concept .. old tech, a few shiny bits, pull on the heart strings of the memory of a Ducati great….
Good job they didn’t do it with the v4…oh hang on..

The under belly system is now $6,000. Yikes.

So damn ridiculous. Adding the install gets you north of $9k. I actually don't really like this new design--I prefer the older style, under the belly system, from an aesthetic point of view. That system isn't even available on the '23 V4 R. I may be in the minority here, but I'm glad I don't find the stock system terribly offensive to look at.
