If you're a superbike fan, chances are you already own, owned, will own, or have at one point in time dreamed of owning a Ducati Panigale. Indeed, when it comes to Ducati's model range, the Panigale represents the pinnacle of performance. Out of all the variants available, however, the Panigale V4 R is the one that most closely embodies a "race bike for the street."
Interestingly, there seems to be a place for a bike like the Ducati Panigale V4 R in the Asian market – a space that's dominated by small-displacement machines with utility and practicality in mind. Indeed, for a small number of diehard enthusiasts, the Ducati Panigale V4 R is the bike to have. This is evidenced by the launch of the homologation superbike in the Indian market for the eye-watering price of Rs 6,999,000, which translates to about $85,000 USD. For reference, the superbike carries an MSRP of $44,000 USD in the U.S. market.
