Ducati says it has shot to the head of the nakedbike fighter food chain with the announcement of its daring Streetfighter.

There is no hesitation that this machine is extremely beautiful, it has been voted the most astonishing bike at last season’s EICMA show in Italy, Milan, which confirmed that it had an immediate influence on the press and the public.

Besides it's beauty, the Streetfighter now clarifies that Ducati has all its nakedbike bases wrapped. As the Streetfighter pays attention to the performance and radiant technology ‘wing’, the Monster (in both 696 and 1110cc suits) is at the tail end of the spectrum with its air-cooled two-valve motor and a level of elegant simplicity.

It has been a purposeful outcome by Ducati to manufacture such an true level of difference, and one that could well work in its favour.

The Streetfighter is torqued by Ducati’s 1099cc liquid-cooled L-twin superbike motor, and it goes without saying that it’s the most power efficient nakedbike in the Italian’s marque’s national history.

In line with Ducati’s standard representations, there are two forms of the Streetfighter: the Streetfighter and upper class Streetfighter S.

“Until Streetfighter, a rider wanting real superbike performance needed to also live with the uncompromising, and often impractical sports bike riding position,” stated Warren Lee, General Manager of NF Importers (their Australian Ducati importer). “Streetfighter isn’t simply a stripped down or naked 1098, it is a completely new motorcycle designed from the ground up to perform and function as a high powered, high performance Ducati naked motorcycle.

”With the incredible performance of today’s Ducati superbike engines, the move with Monster to its origins and the creation of Streetfighter was inevitable,” explained Lee.
