Where did you get this information from? That looks like the corse racing gearbox (made by cima) can't find anything on the Ducati website

As I understand it this information was going to come out before the release of the 2023 V4R then got held up. I also believe it was then going to be announced before Christmas but again was held up, with the announcement imminent...
thing is will it be in the 2023 V4R? If they want it in the race bike then it will need homologating........
what ever way you look at it its been a poor run of events. I know of three of us that walked away from a new 2023 R as it wasn't special enough.....then they do this?
On my logic its all been a bit rushed at the end id say you probably don't want one of the first ones released........

Which needs to be Homologated if they are to use it in the WSB this year or any year. That means fitting it to the production bike the 2023 V4R....

My understanding is the wsbk’s have been using a gearset with N at the top (instead of between 1 and 2) for years.

Popular answer to that amongst the internets is that…
1. It’s to avoid shifting down all the way to neutral when slowing down and engine braking.
2. To avoid accidental 2nd gear starts by shifting up twice from a stop.
Both seem kinda silly tbh.
P.S. my bikes love second gear starts
