Ducati is celebrating Marc Marquez’ domination of the 2025 MotoGP world championship with a limited edition, £79,300, version of its Panigale V4 S – called the Panigale V4 MM93 World Champion Replica.
Among the numerous modifications to help this ultra-exotic superbike stand out from the already hugely desirable standard model, the Marquez tribute gets a revised fairing with ‘corner’ sidepods similar to those found on the Spaniard’s factory Desmosedici GP25 racer.
These are designed to generate downforce during fast cornering, leading to higher corner speeds. The bodywork itself comes painted in a very close replica of the Lenovo sponsored factory Ducati team, with all logos present and correct, while the fuel tank cover features the nine-time world champion’s hand written signature. Each bike is numbered, with a plaque mounted on the upper triple clamp and the dashboard’s start-up animation is also unique to each individual bike.
Based on the new-for-2025 Panigale V4 S, just 293 bikes will be produced, with each owner also getting the chance to personally meet Marc at a Grand Prix or this year’s World Ducati Week event, which is held at Misano in July. Other upgrades include a racy ‘PRO+’ front brake package, with hardware including twin 338mm Brembo finned brake discs gripped by the Italian company’s GP4 Sport Production finned brake calipers, which are machined from solid aluminium.
The MM93 edition also gets lightweight carbon fibre wheels, an alcantara seat embossed with the ‘MM93’ logo and a host of carbon fibre components, like mudguards, heatshields and generator covers. Further reducing weight (and upping power to over 218bhp) is a homologated Akrapovič silencer with dedicated mapping, while a GPS module facilitates lap timing when ridden in its natural racetrack environment.
I t also comes in a cool crate, and we’d wager that more than a few will be bought by collectors and investors who won’t even unbox their very special motorcycle. If they do open the box, they’ll find an added bonus in the form of a track kit, with several other components including brake caliper shrouds, a racing fuel tank cap and a vented carbon fibre cover for the dry clutch.
If the special Panigale V4 seems a little out of reach, Ducati have two more affordable (but still reassuringly expensive) homages to its world beating MotoGP programme.
Based around the latest Panigale V2, the Ducati Panigale V2 FB63 carries Francesco Bagnaia’s ‘Go Free’ logo and comes with a livery inspired by the black and red camouflage design found on 2022 and 2023 world champion’s protective gear, while the MM93 version uses Marc Marquez’ ‘93’ race number as a design element on top of a livery based on the one found on his pre-season test bike.
Priced at £19,995, the special edition V2s get some additional equipment over standard – including 1.5kg lighter, forged aluminium, wheels, lower clip on handlebars, a bigger windscreen, MotoGP style handlebar grips and an Ohlins steering damper.
The special Panigale V2 will be in Ducati showrooms in March, while the Panigale V4 MM93 World Champion Replica is built to order.
