V4R or V4 25’ Anniversario 916

Looks amazing to boot. How do you compare the bike to other limited models like the V4 Speciale?

Do you think it will climb in value being its 1/500?

This bike

is as close to motoring perfection as I’ve ever experienced in any vehicle of any type

I’m absolutely in love

put my shorty levers on and bar end mirrors and got everything ergonomically adjusted to me...I also put my OverSuspension unit on there, and made some suspension adjustments

then ride it for 4 hours, now all I want to do is grab a quick bite and head right back out lol

I’m not changing a single thing on this bike, it’s perfect

I didn’t think they made Pazzo shorty levers anymore. No clear clutch cover?

it has what they call the Tamborine clutch. The chit chatty ones

V4R. It’s far more special in my opinion.

Oops… I thought it was a new post

No I don’t think it will climb in value. To be honest I didn’t care that it was a numbered bike. I was at the dealership about to make my final decision between buying a V4R and V4 SP when this Foggy bike came in. It had aspects of the V4R and the SP in one bike, and it was gorgeous. I still think the V4 25 Anniversario 916 is the best looking bike that Ducati has produced in the last 10 years. It had some V4R frame and suspension components and the Evo2 software and none of the other 1098 bikes had that at the time, the bike already had the titanium Akra on it and several other bits that I was gunna pay to have put on the other two bikes I was considering. So from a money and appearance standpoint the Foggy bike was the best choice.

I certainly wouldn’t buy these bikes as an investment lol, value won’t go up, but I think the Foggy bike is unique enough that it want decrease in value as fast as the other models from that year.

Also with these limited addition numbered bikes, Ducati usually puts a few extra bells and whistles on them from the parts bin, but then a year later those parts are standard addition on the non-limited addition models.
