It has winglets that create 28 kg of downforce above 270 kph. It uses the same aluminium monocoque chassis and steering geometry of its faired sibling which is competition ready right off the production line. Its engine is derived from the 2014 MotoGP Desmosedici bike and redlines at 14,500 rpm. And at 205 bhp, it is one of the most powerful production naked motorcycles on this planet — it has a power-to-weight ratio of 1030.90 bhp per tonne, which translates to absolutely stupendous neck-snapping power at the twist of the wrist.
It’s an Italian thoroughbred without a doubt, with only one task — rule them all! The bike in question is the Ducati Streetfighter V4, and the one here is the top-spec S version that comes with all the bells and whistles that Ducati provides for extra dough. Last month, I had its sport-touring sibling, the Multistrada V4, a bike that is nothing but pure awesomeness. So, naturally, I was left grinning ear to ear when I reached the Ducati dealership to collect the Streetfighter. Talk about consecutive dates with two hot Italians.
