Every Ducati is at least a bit special, in my books. But the Tricolores are always particularly special, and this latest 2025 Panigale V4 Tricolore is even more so. This model will pay homage to Ducati's success in Azzurro at Mugello in 2024, which was certainly something pretty special.
MotoGP fans probably remember it well. But for those who don't, this limited-edition model celebrates Ducati's success on June 2, 2024, which also happens to be Italy's Republic Day. On this day, the Ducati Lenovo Team raced in the Italian Grand Prix with a special Azzurro livery, honoring the colors of Italy’s national sports teams. The factory team took home a dream-like one-two finish, with Francesco Bagnaia bringing home the gold, closely followed in second place by Enea Bastianini.
