Ducati has topped and tailed its Streetfighter range with two new models. The Streetfighter V2 is basically the Panigale V2 with higher and wider handlebars and a chassis stripped of bodywork and panels. It shares that model’s 955cc, 153hp motor and an electronics package that includes cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and bi-directional quick-shift. To alter the ergonomics over its full-fairing sibling, the Streetfighter has a wider seat with more padding and re-positioned footpegs.
At the opposite end of the range sits the new Streetfighter V4SP, which is a limited edition based on the Superleggera V4. As befits a top-of-the-range Italian bike, the kitchen sink of premium parts has been thrown at the V4SP – carbon wheels, Brembo Stylema R calipers, Öhlins Smart EC2.0 suspension – all of which are powered by the 208hp Desmosedici motor.
