It’s a stripped-down version of Ducati’s most powerful production motorcycle.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 kept the sportbike’s absolutely insane 1,100cc four-cylinder, but lost its fairings got a new set of high-and-wide handlebars to create more aerodynamic profile.
The V4 Streetfighter isn’t what you’d call a drastic departure from the racier V-4. Built around the same 214-horsepower 90-degree V-4 engine and chassis architecture, the V4 Streetfighter loses the standard motorcycle’s race-derived aerodynamic fairings for a more friendly and far more naked street bike essence.
Ducati removed the V4’s standard clip-on handlebars. To make riding a little more comfortable, the Bolognese outfit slapped on a set of wide and high handlebars that look like they came off of the company’s Enduro line of motorcycles—the perfect lever to pop the front end of this 214-horsepower monster up.
The Streetfighter V4 is going into production, with the first models slated to hit dealers in spring of 2020.
