Ducati Streetfighter
Superbike Power from a Ducati Super Naked
Ducati Streetfighter, the best reviews of the Ducati street bike that comes with Superbike Performance.
from The Telegraph
"This is as it should be: the term "streetfighter" originated from the cult of stripping the bodywork from the wildest superbikes then adding high bars to create an urban prowler with superlative handling and power. It's closely based on the 1098/1198 superbikes, which means definitive V-twin engine technology married to a chassis that is essentially the same as the 1198's."
from Motorcyclist
"..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 Street-fighter is better than any "authentic" 1098 street-fighter could ever be--and likely the best naked bike to hit the market yet."
from Smart Cycle Shopper
"..a striking piece of vehicular art, at once brutal and beautiful, muscular but balanced. Ducati claims to have carefully studied the handlebar, seat and footpeg triangle for maximum comfort and control, and it’s really only at the footpegs that some sacrifice of creature comfort has been made."
from Bikepoint
"What an intoxicating ride. It’s pure muscle, but with all the technological smarts from the Ducati superbike. Nakedbikes have always been generous souls in letting riders explore their limits – well at least it feels like that – but the Streetfighter takes that level of authority to the a new height with features such as traction control (for the S anyway)."
from Cycleworld
"The Streetfighter looks like a stripped Ducati 1098 Superbike—lose the faring; shorter fuel tank; lower, farther-forward footpegs; tiny digital dash; higher handlebars closer to rider; smaller tailsection; side-mounted pipes."

"At 368 pounds dry-almost 22 pounds lighter than the Monster S4Rs-this motorcycle has an aggressive stance and the punch to back it up. It is compact and stripped to the essentials. And with its racing-derived credentials, the new Ducati Streetfighter is clearly going to be a serious fighting force on the street."
The Streetfighter is a great bike, but don't forget to check out a few of my other favourites:
