Some bikes you admire from across the showroom. The Ducati Superleggera V4 Centenario is one you may never see in person again — which is exactly why the Gotham Ducati DOC family turned out at Ducati New York to give Ducati's wildest creation the welcome it deserved.
Built to mark the company's 100th anniversary, the Centenario is the most extreme road-legal machine Borgo Panigale has ever produced. It's the first street-legal motorcycle in the world to run carbon-ceramic brake discs and a fork with carbon-fiber sleeves, wrapped around a fully carbon-fiber chassis.

The Desmosedici Stradale R engine puts down 228 horsepower — 247 with the racing exhaust — and the whole thing tips the scales at just 368 pounds wet, without fuel. Limited to 500 numbered units (plus 100 Tricolore), each one ships in its own personalized wooden crate. Powersports Business + 2
Here's the part that made the night sweeter: all 600 examples sold out, the order book overflowing well before production could keep up. And one of them belongs to a Gotham member — who, at his request, shall remain nameless. Getting hands on a sold-out, six-figure Centenario is the kind of quiet flex this club lives for, and the room knew it. Standing around a bike that starts at $165,000 and exists in such tiny numbers, knowing one was spoken for by one of our own, gave the evening a charge no spec sheet can.

For a club built on Ducati passion, the Centenario release was less a sales event and more a once-in-a-century moment to witness up close. Thanks to Ducati New York for the room — and to our anonymous member, congratulations. We expect ride photos eventually.
