A hundred years is a long time for any company to last, especially one that spent its first two decades building radio components instead of motorcycles. But Ducati got there, and to celebrate, the Borgo Panigale outfit has grown nicely.
And we’re not talking about a one-day anniversary bike. No, forget that. Ducati released ten of them, all of them from Mugello during the Italian MotoGP round.
Ten models, ten Liveries, 100 each
The Collezione 100 spans the entire Ducati road lineup, wearing one bike from each model family in a paint scheme that has been lifted from the brand’s history. All ten will be limited to 100 units worldwide to keep things special.
From the Vault
Some pairs sell themselves. For example, the Panigale V4 S 100 wears the shiny silver 750 Imola Desmo that Paul Smart rode to victory in the 1972 Imola 200 – the historic day when Ducati beat Giacomo Agostini’s MV Agusta on home soil and stamped its name on the sporting map.
The Diavel V4 RS 100 revives the 1979 900 Replica that followed Mike Hailwood’s legendary 1978 Isle of Man TT victory, while the Streetfighter V4 S 100 brings back the black and gold Darmah and its tiger-head logo.
The Monster 100 nods to the 2008 S4Rs Tricolore that capped the original Monster’s run, and the XDiavel V4 100 pays tribute to the “California Hot Rod” Cook Neilson rode to victory at Daytona in 1977, the first time an Italian machine won a production-based race on American soil.
Then there are the deep cuts. The DesertX 100 borrows from the 1981 Pantah “Ice”, a Ducati oddball built to entertain the crowds on frozen Alpine tracks between car races.
What Earns a 100 Badge
Naturally, the improvements go a little deeper than just paint. Each bike also gets Alcantara or leather seats with embroidered Ducati 100 logo, Centenario Bronze trim on the calipers and fuel cap, and a serialized plate mounted on the triple clamp.
Most also get a dry clutch, including V2 models for the first time (the Scrambler 100 and DesertX 100 remain out.) And, of course there’s swag to go with it. Each comes with a color-matched rear stand, bike cover, certificate of authenticity, first custom animation, and two prints signed by Italian artist Ugo Nespolo, who painted each bike and the historic machine that inspired it.

Pricing and Availability
Ducati hasn’t announced pricing, which, given the carbon trim and one-of-a-hundredth variant, probably means it won’t be cheap. With only 100 units of each model worldwide, registering interest on Ducati’s website is a no-brainer. The group visits Ducati World Week in early July before heading to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
