The Ducati Streetfighter is a streetfighter motorcycle produced by Ducati in various iterations since 2009.
Streetfighter
[edit]The original Streetfighter model was first unveiled by Ducati at the 2008 EICMA trade show in Milan.[2] The Streetfighter was designed by Damien Basset of the Ducati design team[3] and utilized the 1,099cc liquid-cooled 90° V-twin Testrastretta engine shared with the Ducati 1098 sport bike model. Compared to the 1098, the Streetfighter produced 5 fewer horsepower, due to a different airbox.[4] In addition to the lack of fairing, the Streetfighter differed from the sport bike in that it had a longer swingarm and therefore a longer wheelbase, as well as wider handlebars.
In addition to the standard model, an upgraded Streetfighter S was available, equipped with Öhlins suspension components, Marchesini forged wheels and parts made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic.[2]
With the launch of the Streetfighter 848, the base model was discontinued after 2011, while the Streetfighter S remained in production until 2013.
Streetfighter 848
[edit]After two years in production, the Streetfighter was supplemented in 2011 by a smaller model, the Streetfighter 848 with the engine from the Ducati 848 sportbike, an 849cc version of the Testastretta engine, whose valve overlap was reduced from 37° to 11° to improve rideability. With higher handlebars, wider footrests and a modified seating position, it was aimed at a clientele preferring a less extreme design than that of the larger Streetfighter.[5]
The Streetfighter 848 was named the "Best Middleweight Streetbike" by Cycle World in 2013.[6] French rider Eric Piscione won the inaugural Motorcycle Middleweight Division race at the 2014 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with the Streetfighter 848.[7]
After production of the Streetfighter S ended in 2013, the Streetfighter 848 was also discontinued after 2015.
Streetfigher V4
[edit]Three weeks before the 2019 EICMA show in Milan, Ducati presented a new Streetfighter V4.[8] As with its technical basis, the Panigale V4 sport bike, it utilizes the Desmosedici Stradale 90° V4 engine with a displacement of 1103 cm3.[9][10] There is also a quickshift gearshift, eight-stage traction control, various riding modes, wheelie control and a cornering anti-lock braking system. The S version also offers semi-active suspension with Öhlins components. A special feature of the Streetfighter V4 are small additional wings on the side fairings, designed to generate around 150 newtons of downforce at 200 km/h and 280 newtons at 270 km/h.[8][11]
Streetfighter V2
[edit]The Streetfighter V2, announced in November 2021 and released for sale in 2022, is modified from the Panigale V2 sport bike. The dry weight of this vehicle is 178 kg and the engine is the 955 cm3 Superquadro with 153 hp. The swingarm is 16mm longer than that of its sport bike sister.[12][13]
