Meet the motorcycle many consider the end of from Ducati L-cylinder middleweight sports bikes: The 2025 Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition The Italian two-wheeler giant has been revamping its motorcycle catalogue, starting with the introduction of its first-ever mass-produced four-cylinder in 2019’s Panigale V4. Then, in 2020, came a non-desmodromic version of Ducati’s V4, this time the Granturismo. Replacing the complicated double rocker arm and spring setup in favor of a more traditional camshaft-rocker-spring arrangement, the factory service interval is extended from 15,000 miles to 37,000 miles. Last year, Ducati launched its new Superquadro Mono single cylinder engine in the Hypermotardsold alongside a larger Hypermotard with an L-twin. With the 2025 Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition, the theory is that Ducati will phase out the L-twin from use in sportbikes and perhaps introduce a smaller V4 or maybe even a parallel-twin. Why? Because this feels like the handbook Ducati used when it phased out the V-twin in the Panigale 1199, creating a limited-edition Final Edition bike for 2017 before launching the Panigale V4 a year later.
For the farewell there are special features from front to back. The front and rear mudguards, shock and swingarm protectors, chain guard, clutch cover and muffler are made of carbon fiber. Ohlins’ signature gold finish is featured on the front forks and rear shock. Adjustable billet aluminum footpegs come from Rizoma. More billet aluminum covers the triple clamp, four-gallon tank and fuel cap, and for owners who plan to use the bike exclusively on a track, Ducati offers a billet mirror removal kit and a license plate removal kit. The 955-cc twin-cylinder makes the same 155 horsepower and 76.7 pound-feet of torque as the standard Panigale V2, but the aluminum, carbon and lithium-ion battery help lose six pounds, making the Final Edition weigh 419 pounds.
Ducati Centro Stile worked with Drudi Performance on a special livery, combining the brand’s traditional red, white and black with a monochromatic motif on the fairing, featuring a diagram of the engine as it sits right behind the cowl. Each unit comes with a special cowl to protect that finish, plus a certificate of authenticity.
Ducati is making 555 of them, the serial number etched into the triple clamp. Deliveries for U.S. allocation begin in December, with prices starting at $28,000, about $9,500 above the standard Panigale V2.
The L-twin is still rocking hard in Ducati Supersport. In the Panigale pen, Motorcyklo.com info found about next year Panigale V4 filed with the Swiss authorities, previewing slightly more power and less torque, a longer wheelbase and slightly less weight.
