Every legend deserves to be celebrated, and Ducati is doing that in the only way it knows how—by introducing the 2024 Panigale V4 SP2 30th Anniversario 916, which pays homage to the iconic Ducati 916 drawn up by Massimo Tamburini. Like your bikes in limited trim? Lucky for you, this bike will be produced in a numbered, limited series of 500 units.

The rest of us will simply have to drool over the special livery and long list of carbon fiber sprinkled throughout. That livery is, of course, from the bike that Carl Fogerty won the 1999 Superbike World Championship aboard. Sweet, sweet history!

Not that anyone was complaining about the Panigale V4’s looks before, but it’s especially hard to argue with the styling on the 30th Anniversario 916 model. (Ducati/)

In terms of hardware, the Anniversario 916 separates itself through the use of a billet aluminum fuel cap, front brake air ducts, an exhaust heat shield, plus carbon fiber mudguard and wings.

Five-spoked carbon fiber wheels are 3 pounds lighter than the forged Marchesinis on the V4 S and 7.5 pounds lighter than the Panigale V4 wheels, reducing inertial momentum by 26 percent at the front and 46 percent at the rear, for added agility.

Each Panigale V4 SP2 30th Anniversario 916 is numbered, with production number engraved on the steering plate. The bike will also come with a certificate of authenticity and a dedicated motorcycle cover. (Ducati/)

Braking package is equally as impressive, the Anniversario 916 coming standard with Brembo Stylema R calipers and the aforementioned cooling ducts, as well as a Brembo MCS master cylinder with remote adjuster. An STM EVO dry clutch offers classic Ducati sounds.
