Belgian Ducatista Filip Van Schil, owner of nine other Ducati bikes, can finally ride the 001/500 specimen of the Ducati Superleggera V4, the only motorcycle in the world approved for road use with frame, frame, swingarm and carbon fiber rims.
We had already talked about this unique and special two-wheeler, produced by the Casa di Borgo Panigale in a limited series of only 500 specimens. Van Schil was invited to Borgo Panigale for a special tour of the factory, in which the guest was able to see the line in which his motorbike was born and meet the specialized operator who made his engine. During the day, he also visited the Company Museum, the Ducati Style Center and the Racing Department. In addition, as with all other Superleggera V4 owners, Filip the Panigale V4 R can test the Mugello track competing in the SBK Championship.
The words of the lucky buyer of the first ever Superleggera V4: “When I received the call and the official invitation to come to Borgo Panigale to collect my Superleggera V4, the 001 of 500, despite the fact that I have always been a Ducatista, my legs trembled with emotion. A welcome like this, although I was the first to call and order the Superleggera V4, is something unimaginable. Receiving the bike directly in the company and touching the passion of the people who work in Borgo Panigale is an experience that I will carry with me forever. Days like this are what make Ducati unique and different from all the other motorcycle manufacturers. “
Ducati Motor Holding CEO Claudio Domenicali has removed the veil from the Superleggera V4 001/500 and handed it over to its new owner. The handover ceremony took place inside the Ducati Style Center. Even for Domenicali a very special experience, “trying in the morning the incredible emotions that a Superleggera V4 can give at Mugello and then delivering the keys of the 001/500 motorcycle to the first customer in the afternoon, makes this day truly magical!”.
