SOUL OF A SUPERBIKE – ATTITUDE OF A FIGHTER

The Streetfighter‘s Superbike soul combines fighter attitude and naked sophistication to create a machine of pure adrenaline.

Stripped to the bare essentials, its combination of state-of-the-art race technology, skeletal styling and contemporary design takes Ducati‘s big naked concept to the very top of the fighter food chain.

With 155hp of awesome Ducati L-Twin muscle harnessed in a uncovered, super-light, 167kg (368lb) bike that packs more punch for its weight than any other contender, this fighter is gloves-off and ready for action.

Whether laying down the miles on open roads or ripping up the urban asphalt, no other bike in town will roll with the same stylish fire-power.

STREETFIGHTER MADE GOOD

The Streetfighter culture was born on the backstreets of Northern Europe during the late 70s and 80s. If the Café racer movement had taken traditional bikes and transformed them to establish out-and-out sport bikes, then Streetfighters were definitely anti-establishment. They evolved by removing the fairings from sport bikes, fitting higher bars and customising to create high-performance, over-the-top nakeds. Now, Ducati have taken that concept and applied Italian sophistication to a stunning, factory-prepared Streetfighter. The passion to build the most successful Superbikes ever, mixed with the desire to create iconic, naked motorcycles, was a rush of adrenaline just waiting to happen.

DESIGN

More attention to detail than ever before has gone into creating the Streetfighter. The silhouette of tank and seat combined with the upright, commanding riding position really starts to shape the character of this ultimate naked. New, minimalistic controls, instrumentation and headlight design leave the front looking clean and mean, while twin-stacked, cannon-style mufflers at the rear leave the tail-end high and sharp.

TAKE CONTROL

The Streetfighter empowers you. Lightweight aluminium, tapered bars are higher than on a Superbike, but still flat enough to ride hard, so machine control is enhanced and your relationship with the front-end remains intact.

The switchgear has been revised to represent minimalism at its most extreme. The slim-line bodies house easy-to-use switches and buttons and feature a unique weapons-like ‘trigger catch’ that slides down to cover the starter button when the kill-switch is activated.

Symmetrically-mounted remote brake and clutch reservoirs are small, low and compact and feed radial master cylinders by Brembo to complete the clean and simple controls arrangement.
