Three of the rarest Ducati Panigale V4S replicas ever produced are heading to auction this Saturday, July 18, at Iconic Auctioneers’ Kempton Park sale—and for collectors who track these machines, an opportunity like this doesn’t come around often. The bikes celebrate Pecco Bagnaia’s back-to-back MotoGP titles and Alvaro Bautista’s 2023 World Superbike Championship, and each carries numbered production status, factory-signed fuel tanks, and delivery mileage that can be measured in single digits.
All three are estimated between £30,000 and £40,000 (roughly €35,000–€46,500), placing them in a bracket that reflects both their rarity and the premium Ducati’s championship replica program commands on the secondary market. The Kempton Park sale spans 199 lots in total, but these Panigales stand out as the most significant modern machinery in the catalogue.
The Three Lots: What’s Actually On The Block

The first bike is a 2024 Bagnaia MotoGP Replica—unit 002 of just 263 built worldwide—finished in the Giallo Ducati Misano livery that Bagnaia’s Desmosedici GP wore during his title-clinching 2023 season. The fuel tank carries Bagnaia’s signature, and the bike includes its full factory documentation. The second lot is a 2023 Bagnaia Replica, also unit 002, this time from a run of 260 units produced to mark his first MotoGP championship in 2022. That bike has traveled exactly one mile since factory delivery—effectively as-built, in factory Lenovo colors, and registered new in the UK.
The third machine shifts to the WorldSBK side: a 2024 Bautista WorldSBK Replica, one of 219 produced to celebrate Bautista’s 2023 Superbike title. It comes with original documentation, Ducati’s circuit-specific accessory kit, and a signed tank. The Bautista replica is the rarest of the three by production number, which partly explains why WorldSBK examples tend to surface even less frequently than their MotoGP counterparts.
What Makes These Replicas Worth Collecting

Ducati’s championship replica program isn’t cosmetic badging work. Each of these bikes is built on the full Panigale V4 S platform and upgraded with hardware that puts them well above standard spec: an STM-EVO SBK dry clutch, Akrapovič exhaust system, Brembo Stylema R brake calipers, Marchesini forged aluminum wheels, and carbon fiber components throughout. The Bautista replica adds a brushed aluminum fuel tank as a distinguishing detail. Every unit ships in a dedicated wooden packing case with custom graphics, a certificate of authenticity, and a personalized motorcycle cover.
When Ducati originally released the 2023 championship replicas, U.S. pricing was set at $73,000 for the Bagnaia version and $68,000 for the Bautista—and those were new, at-launch figures. The 2022-season replicas (the first Bagnaia and Bautista editions) retailed at $63,000 when they reached dealerships in late 2023. Finding any of these bikes on the secondary market with intact mileage and full documentation is genuinely difficult; most were purchased by collectors who had no intention of riding them.
What The Auction Estimates Say About The Market In 2026

The £30,000–£40,000 estimate range across all three lots is notable for a couple of reasons. At the upper end, that’s roughly in line with—or modestly below—original retail pricing when converted to current exchange rates, which suggests the market for these replicas is holding firm rather than running away. That’s a healthy signal for the segment: buyers aren’t being asked to pay a dramatic speculative premium, but sellers aren’t taking a loss on machines that have barely been touched since leaving the factory.
For Ducati collectors specifically, the convergence of all three bikes at a single sale is unusual. These replicas rarely surface individually; finding a 2023 Bagnaia, a 2024 Bagnaia, and a Bautista WorldSBK example in the same 199-lot catalog is the kind of coincidence that tends to attract serious bidder attention. The Kempton Park sale takes place July 18, 2026.
Whether any of these three bikes exceed their estimates will offer a useful data point for where factory-numbered Ducati championship replicas sit as the replica program matures. For now, they represent about as clean an entry into modern Ducati collector history as the secondary market is likely to offer this year.
