I’m going to reach out to my Ducati dealer and see if he thinks the tail on the 23 is the same as the 2021 & 2022.

Mirror block offs are slightly different on the 22+ than <21. Picked up a set of old Rizoma block offs and had to shave down the upper outside sides to match the curve of the bodywork. You also need a thicker foam pad underneath them
 
The V4 SP2 has "Stylema R" calipers. Visually, it looks like the R calipers have two red line/stripes near the bottom of the caliper to distinguish themselves from the regualr Stylema. I couldn't find a spec on the 2023 V4 R calipers, but based on pics, I do not see the red stripes.

I get why the carbon fiber wheels are on the SP2 and not on the R, but it looks like they cut costs of the brakes too lol.

The mirror block offs I used on my my20 fit my my22 without any change.
The rear tail cover was the same..

I think the other guy meant the narrow body Panigale models have a different mirror block off shape, which was my experience. I tried to go cheap and bought some ones from a 2018 which fit like .... on my 2021.
 
If the R shows up at dealerships and they cut corners on parts. I'm going to cancel my order.

45k for a bike and you cheap out...No Bueno
I get not having carbon wheels. And some of the other parts on the SP2. But to cheap out on the brakes of a bike your marketing as the WSB winner?
That extra 15+ K over a V4s can buy some really nice stuff.

F around and find out.

What makes you think Ducati cut corners on the 23R? I can't imagine it has any different build quality than anything else which comes off of their production line. Maybe the SL gets more attention, but that's a big maybe. Its the same build and production methods getting used for everything.

Yes I agree, that being said it will be like all the rest where you upgrade the rear sets, black plastic to carbon fiber and so on…..they know exactly what’s their doing and selling a lot of up grades after the fact.

can only pee with the cock you are given...
 
a buddy was at the bikeshow today in the UK with the 2023 R on display.
now I had already alluded to the fact the rear shock length is now 216 as std and wondered what they had changed ???

A sneaky picture.....

it seems to me they have just wound the bottom eye out......the same bottom eye as the previous TTX has with the warning groove and their advise not to go beyond....

I rode mine like that when I ran that swingarm position. Didn't have any issue 🤷‍♂️
