Ducati Streetfighter

About Ducati Streetfighter

The Ducati Streetfighter is a streetfighter-style motorcycle produced by Ducati. The Ducati Streetfighter was designed by Damien Basset of the Ducati design team. Ducati sold the Streetfighter in three variations – the Streetfighter 1099 cc from 2009 to 2011, the Streetfighter S 1099 cc from 2009 to 2012, and the Streetfighter 848 849 cc from 2011 to 2015.

The Ducati Streetfighter 848 won the Cycle World Best Middleweight Streetbike title in 2013. Eric Piscione once held the Middleweight lap record at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

Ducati wants you to believe its Streetfighter is an authentic example of the breed--essentially, a stripped-down 1098 Superbike. But it's not--it's better than that. It's an all-new motorcycle that shares few components with the ancestral Superbike, but it's not another dumbed-down OEM imposter. For starters, the Superbike's brutal power delivery remains intact. Because Ducati developed a naked-bike chassis adequate to control that copious power, the Ducati Streetfighter is better than any "authentic" 1098 streetfighter could ever be--and likely the best-naked bike to hit the market yet.

The Superbike's committed riding position is hardly suitable for urban commutes, so that's been reconfigured to be radically more relaxed; there's more legroom and a shorter reach to the bars than on last year's Monster S4Rs. The seat is more thickly padded, and the forged risers holding the tapered handlebar are rubber-mounted. A Ducati built to coddle? Who spiked the acqua in Borgo Panigale?! The tank and tail look identical to the Superbike's but are smaller to emphasize the compact, cut-down streetfighter style.

That unexpected stability initially makes going fast on the Ducati Streetfighter an act of faith. Other naked bikes often exhibit over-sensitive handling, especially at high speed, as high-leverage handlebars tend to amplify even the most minor inputs. Not the Ducati, and because this feels so unusual, you have to talk yourself into trusting the Ducati Streetfighter not to misbehave--especially when the low-mounted footpegs kiss the pavement in one of Ascari's two 140-mph sweepers. But both high-speed and mid-corner stability is rock-solid on the Ducati Streetfighter, even in the extreme 40-mph crosswinds whipping off the mountains that day.
