In fact, the Italian word superleggera translates to “super light.” No wonder every bit of this bike is aimed at weight reduction without compromising performance. What you get is a motorcycle the Bologna-based manufacturer touts as the most powerful, fastest, and most technologically advanced production Ducati that has ever been produced. But what’s most impressive? That the Superleggera is a street-legal motorcycle-and even you could own one, should you be one of the fortunate few to reserve one of these limited-run machines. It’s built solely with an eye on perfection and uses a massive amount of exotic materials and technologies found only at the highest level of racing. It’s purely a demonstration of Ducati’s engineering capabilities, unencumbered by the need to conform to racing regulations. The Superleggera V4 isn’t a factory grand prix bike, nor is it built as a homologation-special model aimed at asserting superbike racing dominance. This is Ducati making a production bike without boundaries. The echoes are a nod to the motorcycle’s racing roots, and the MotoGP comparisons grow stronger with every rev. The walls lining Laguna Seca’s short-but-tricky front straight are like a bounce board for the 2021 Ducati Superleggera V4′s exhaust note.

The Ducati Superleggera V4 enters the market as a 2021 model for a premium $100,000, but is arriving to select VIP customers now.
