Ducati revealed a new special edition Panigale V2 honoring the 20th anniversary of Troy Bayliss’ first World Superbike Championship. The cumbersomely-named Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss 1st Championship 20th Anniversary, the limited edition model bears a livery inspired by Bayliss’ title-winning Ducati 996R superbike.

The graphics aren’t the only thing that makes the Anniversary edition bike stand out. Ducati fitted the bike with an NX30 front fork, a TTX36 rear shock and a steering damper from Öhlins. The limited edition V2 is set up with a single-seat configuration and comes standard with a lithium-ion battery, contributing to a claimed 6.6-pound weight reduction.
U.S. pricing is set at $21,000.
