Ducati has launched its ultimate superbike, the "Panigale V4 R," in Japan. Packed with technology derived directly from MotoGP, its 218PS engine and latest electronic rider aids arrive as a model aiming for the summit of production motorcycles.
The V4 R is a homologation model — a street bike built purely to win races. Managing 218 horsepower from corner entry all the way through exit is no small feat. But this machine's true potential only comes out on a racetrack. Being almost too much bike for the street is exactly right — that's what a genuine racer replica is.

Are there actually people who go touring on a bike this extreme?
What's actually different between the R model and the regular V4?
The R is the full-spec homologation-special model for racing, a different animal from the street version.
218PS is right up there among the highest-output production bikes just by the number.
Honestly the only thing that comes to mind that can compete with the Panigale V4R right now is BMW.
Checking prices on V4R-class bikes is always scary, this one's probably going to blow past a whole extra digit too.
218PS is already beyond regular production-bike territory, there's real romance in something straight off the MotoGP line.
Power you could never fully use on public roads, of course.
