More from WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca as Ducati chose the WSBK/MotoAmerica weekend to debut its 916 Tribute Panigale. "In all of modern motorcycling history, no bike has been as era-defining as the 916, both in terms of design and performance.

I'm incredibly proud to present this exclusive version of our Panigale V4, itself a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the 916." stated VP of Global Sales Francesco Milicia. "We've decided to present the bike together with none other than "King" Carl Fogarty himself. Presenting it on the American Superbike stage underscores our dedication to the US market, where bike enthusiasts and collectors alike will, I am sure, appreciate the uniqueness of the Panigale V4 25° Anniversary 916."

"I’m thrilled to be here at this event," added Carl Fogarty (Official) after riding the Panigale V4 25° Anniversario 916 onto the stage. "The Ducati 916 gave me some fantastic, unforgettable moments. It played a starring role in my career and in the history of the World Superbike Championship. On the wider motorcycling scene, it set a whole new standard of style and performance. I’m proud to have played a pivotal role in that success story, and equally proud to be here today and celebrate this important anniversary by officially unveiling this breath-taking bike."

Closer to home, Ducati pulled bike #5 of the "Anniversio" edition Panigales in remembrance Californian Carlin Dunne. Dunne, the Spider Grips Ducati team rider who recently died at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (Official Site) DNA CEO Jason Chinnock announced Ducati's decision to remove the number 5 from selling, the same number that Dunne raced with. The bike will be auctioned, with proceeds going to a fund-raising effort to provide Carlin's mother with support.
