Ducati Japan began selling the new Panigale V4 R, the pinnacle of the brand's superbike lineup, at authorized dealers nationwide from June 20, 2026. Priced at ¥5.55 million, it's billed as "a racing machine you can ride on the street."
The Panigale V4 R is a genuine racing machine wearing a street plate. From corner entry through exit, this thing demands everything from its rider. A ¥5.55 million price tag makes sense. This isn't something you tame easily — that's the weight carried by the title 'R.'

¥5,550,000 down to the exact figure — feels like a very Ducati kind of attention to detail.
Homologation-special bikes like the CBR1000RR-R or Panigale V4R all get bold pricing regardless of manufacturer.
We're in an era where it's already something to be grateful for that Panigale's flagship model is even officially sold at this price.
Billed as a street-legal race machine, but realistically you'd never use its performance in city traffic.
Most buyers are probably treating it as a pure track-day toy, so it's a conscious tradeoff.
Simply glad the V4R is now officially available in Japan starting June 20th.
¥5,550,000 might be reasonable for a street-legal racer, but it's still not a price you can casually reach for.
Even at this price it's still cheaper than the limited model, so it might be a relatively restrained price for the top-of-range grade.
