Ducati supports BikeSafe with Police-liveried Panigale V4 S
Ducati is continuing with its extended support to BikeSafe by providing it with a 216bhp Panigale V4 S.
Ducati UK has donated a Panigale V4 S to BikeSafe, which has been infused with a police-inspired livery, and is set to be used as part of police-led motorcycle training.
Ducati presented the team at BikeSafe with the 216bhp powered superbike during an organised trackday at Donington Park.
The bike will be used to provide organised training to riders, as well as serving as an engagement tool at road safety events, and on trackdays.
In our Panigale V4 review, which included the S model, we detailed some of the improvements the new superbike from Borgo Panigale had made, and these will now be enjoyed by Bike Safe as part of the initiative.
Simon Blatchly OBE, Deputy Chief Constable at Derbyshire Constabulary and NPCC Lead - Motorcycles & BikeSafe, said: "I am pleased to be part of this pioneering partnership with Ducati which promises to help develop and drive advancements in motorcycle safety. The Panigale V4S is a symbol of our commitment to making the roads safer.
“By leveraging Ducati's appeal we can engage riders in meaningful conversations about safety and training. This collaboration allows us to reach out to the biking community in a way that truly resonates, making a real difference in reducing accidents and saving lives."
Like many of Ducati’s newer models, tech components have trickled down from its MotoGP project, where the brand is currently smoking the field once again, in 2025. That includes the MotoGP-derived Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine that pumps out 216hp and 89Ib-ft of torque.
Fabrizio Cazzoli, Managing Director for Ducati UK, added: “Ducati is incredibly proud to support BikeSafe in its mission to enhance rider safety. This partnership allows us to give back to the biking community by promoting safe riding practices and supporting initiatives that make the roads safer for everyone. We want every rider to experience the joy of riding, but with the utmost respect for safety. Our bikes naturally draw attention, and this partnership gives us the opportunity to channel that interest into promoting safe riding practices.”
