Ducati has unveiled two special edition street bikes, each dedicated to one of its factory MotoGP riders: Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez. These limited-edition models, based on the Panigale V2 S, are a treat for motorcycle enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of performance and style. The bikes are easy to distinguish, with each featuring liveries derived from the riders' own designs. The Bagnaia edition showcases the red-and-black 'camo' design seen on his helmet and number in 2025, while the Marquez edition pays homage to his Desmosedici days with large 93s on the side fairing, reminiscent of his Barcelona test ride in 2024. Both bikes have the rider's number on the front fairing and come with a host of new components, including forged aluminium wheels, an adjustable Ohlins steering damper, clip-on bars, and Desmosedici-inspired hand grips. Ducati has not yet announced a price, but these special editions will be available in European dealers by March 2026, in the US by April 2026, and in Japan and Australia from July 2026. This is a must-see for motorcycle enthusiasts, but here's where it gets controversial... which rider's design do you prefer? And this is the part most people miss... the bikes' performance enhancements, like the 27% reduction in front inertia, are a testament to Ducati's commitment to innovation. So, what do you think? Are you a fan of these special editions? Share your thoughts in the comments!
