Ducati has launched the Panigale V2 Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary edition in the international markets. The limited-edition motorcycle is based on the standard Panigale V2 and it's priced at USD 21,000, which converts to Rs 15.62 lakh. While there's no official statement about its launch in the Indian market, here we bring you the complete details of the same.
Design
The Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss is a sporty motorcycle that gets an aggressive front fascia. The superbike gets fairing-mounted mirrors, sharp twin-pod headlamps, green and white coloured graphics all across its body, a single piece seat and a sharp tail section. This motorcycle pays tribute to Troy Bayliss (Australian motorcycle racer) by featuring his race number 21 on the seat and across the bike's body. It also gets Troy Bayliss' autograph on its fuel tank.
Engine
The special edition motorcycle is powered by the same L-shaped liquid-cooled twin-cylinder 955cc motor that powers the standard Panigale V2. This engine sits in an aluminium frame and produces 152.9bhp at 10,750rpm and 104Nm at 9,000rpm. All this power and torque is transmitted to its wheels via a six-speed gearbox.
Features
The Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss comes loaded with similar features that we have witnessed on the standard model. For instance, it gets projector LED headlamp, LED taillight and indicators, DRL, auto-off indicators, carbon fibre and titanium exhaust cover, a quick shifter and three riding modes (Race, Sport and Street). It also comes equipped with safety features like Bosch Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Engine Brake Control, Power Modes, Ducati Wheelie Control and Auto Tyre Calibration. The 4.3-inch colour TFT instrument cluster further displays riding data, GPS module, multimedia options, lap timer and anti-theft alert.
Hardware
The suspension duty on this bike is handled by Öhlin NIX30 43mm adjustable inverted forks at the front and Öhlin TTX36 fully adjustable monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, the braking is taken care of by 320mm dual semi-floating discs at the front with Brembo Monoblock callipers and a 245mm single disc at the rear assisted by Bosch Cornering ABS. The litre-class motorcycle rides on 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels. These wheels are wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa ll tyres having 120mm width at the front and 180mm width at the rear. The seat height of the bike is kept at 835mm while it weighs 197kg.
