Panigale (2025 V2)

Available from January 2025 at £14,995 for the base bike and £16,995 for the higher spec S, practically every element of the bike has been altered with the update in a move that aims to make the supersport more rideable and easier to live with, whilst still offering oodles of track performance

For the first time ever, younger riders will also be able to swing their leg over a Borgo Panigale sports bike, with the factory also offering an 47bhp A2 licence compliant version too.

At the heart of the changes is the move to the new smaller displacement, 54.4kg twin engine that produces 118bhp at 10,750rpm, alongside 68.8lb.ft of torque at 8250rpm.

The overhaul has produced what the Bologna brand describe as the “most fun sports bike ever created”, as well as being the lightest Panigale to date, tipping the scales at a lithe 172kg.



I like it, but I think I'd like more than 118bhp for something with a Panigale sticker on it. It's £2k more than the new R9 with similar power, but... the R9 is 195kg rather than 172kg.

I guess the low power is to make it hit all the rules for A2 riders.

Looks alright. A bit more Supersport than the last one?

The exhaust's challenging. More pleasant with the option titanium Termi, albeit at another £2200

The more I look at it, the more it looks a bit 'Japanese', just like the latest Monster.

Paint that green and it could be a higher spec 650 Ninja.
