Another Limited Edition

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Been discussed on this board somewhere few weeks ago. Overpriced bikes.
 
Love it! They’ll sell each and every one of them and that overpriced price. Great for Ducati!

Though I kind of wish the Pecco version came with a more GP22-like aero kit. Would be cool to see the stegosaurus tail wings and looped front wings
 
Thing is ducati’s limited edition bikes dont hold value lol, its just a v4s with painted fairings and a dry clutch

If you bought an SL at $110-120k, you’ve gotten hoodwinked. MSRP is $100k. Considering that the average depreciation as soon as a vehicle gets sold is 20%, yeah I’d say it’s holding its value pretty well for being one of the most recent speciales. Give it 10-20 yrs. Either way, all these are going to be sold.
 
I'm not paying over sticker for any vehicle. Some people don't care they just want the bike now!!!!!
Collectablity on a vehicle is a crap shoot at best! On bikes/cars some of the upper end models can be more desirable as they get older. But appreciation? No way.
For me, buy the bike you want, enjoy it. Let the rest handle itself.
It could be a bike might MIGHT depreciate less or at a slower rate?

These bikes will completely sell out. Probably sold already. What I do find interesting is as I read about them. The signature on the tank will actually be signed by the rider and then clear coated. Contrary to the V2 Bayliss which gets a sticker then clear coated. Kind cheesy in my opinion. Would have been easy to just pay Bayliss to sign tanks based on the order volume.

The other nice touch to these V4's is the letter which comes with each bike certifying it.

Ducati is just cashing in on doing the double. Good for them. If nobody buys all these "numbered" bikes. They would stop making them. I'm guessing the Bayliss & SP's did well recently for them. So good for them.

I’m inclined to agree with most of this except one point… all bikes eventually sell out.
 
I will admit these new replicas are way more interesting than a SP or Bayliss, etc. I'm not buying, but interesting nonetheless.
 
If you buy a "collectable" - hold it for 30+yrs (in the crate of course) keeping it safe for the next guy, you might, quite possibly, have yourself a gain - otherwise, buy it, ride it write your own article about it (keep it, trade it, sell it), and then buy the next one 😇

-just my .02 cents

That’s a solid plan. I think the bikes look great and it’s certainly a lot more than other mfg are offering. Ducati by far is the innovative force on 2 wheels. My issues have always been what they don’t want to chat about. Horrendous service record, ridiculously priced parts comparatively and the inability to fix issues that won’t seem to go away and they could care less. The “Your lucky we allow you to own a Ducati” attitude when there is a complaint is a bit much.
 
Well, their business model is quite the opposite of say Suzuki who has pulled out of the racing business apparently. Not to mention cars in NA. Kawasaki which builds arguably the ugliest bikes out there doesn't do anything like "limited editions" really except for the hideous supercharged stupidity of the Ninja. Yamaha does have the new R1 model with heritage colors and also did the KR colors a few years ago.

Ducati just keeps cooking up new livery and weird Lambo inspired stuff and apparently sells everything they throw at the market. After looking at the specs and the god awful price I'll just stick to my "custom" V4S and hope I can save a few bucks for a dedicated track V2 that won't break my bank account too bad.
