Ducati North America has announced that the much anticipated Ducati Streetfighter will hit showrooms in a National Showroom Premier on May 22-23. For those of us yearning to put a leg over the naked 155 horsepower machine, a list of participating dealerships will be made available on April 24.
The Streetfighter is an all new bike with design elements taken from the 1198 and 1098, altered to fit the personality of the naked sportbike. The Ducati Streetfighter provides superbike performance in a compact, agile motorcycle.
Comfort as well as control is enhanced by a decreased seat-to-handlebar distance and an increased seat-to-footpeg distance compared to that of the 1198; the forward riding position is not as extreme as a superbike, but allows greater feel and control than a cruiser. Hopefully our expectations are met in May when we get to experience this bike in person for the first time.
