PBM Be Wiser Ducati Team Selling Their 2018 Ducati Panigale R

  • PBM Be Wiser Ducati Team is selling their 2018 Ducati Panigale R.

  • The bike weighs just 165kg and can hit 338 km/h.

  • All for just £ 70,000.

Fancy a real race tuned Ducati? Well, here’s a deal and half for you: PBM Be Wiser Ducati Team is selling their 2018 Ducati Panigale R!

The team competes in the Bennetts British Superbike Championship (BSB) with champion Shane “Shakey” Byrne and Glenn Irwin as their original lineup of riders. But Shakey had a serious accident early in the season and was replaced by Andrew Irwin.

Shakey had a win and two podiums before his career-ending crash at Snetterton. Glenn went on to post seven podium finishes on the bike, while Andrew finished fourth twice.

So you see, this bike isn’t some tarted up hobby team race bike – it’s the real deal!

Yes, it’s based on the Panigale 1199, but check out these specs.

Termignoni exhausts, race-spec Brembo brakes, Öhlins suspension. Sounds meh? Wait! The bike weighs only 165kg dry. The engine produces 210 HP. Yup, 210 Italian stallions.

Top speed is claimed to hit 338 km/h (210 mph).

The team is also throwing in two extra “low mileage” engines into the deal.

Great, huh?

All for just RM 360,629.50 (£ 70,000). 

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
