The Ducati Streetfighter V4 was always in the pipeline after the launch of the Panigale V4. In fact over the last few months, the motorcycle has been spied testing in Europe multiple times. But now, Ducati has officially confirmed it by releasing photographs of the Streetfighter V4 prototype. It looks downright delicious! The chiselled fuel tank, sharp front end and that naked styling is already making us drool, even with the camouflage on! The motorcycle will be seen in action at the 2019 Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb where it will be ridden by Carlin Dunne, who is a former Pikes Peak Champion. Ducati believes that the ‘Race to the Clouds’ will be the ideal testing grounds for the Streetfighter V4, which is meant to be ridden on road rather than the racetrack.

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 will use the same 1,100 cc engine from the Panigale V4 but gives a miss to the fairings. It also gets higher and wider handlebars as well. The Desmosedici Stradale gets aerodynamic profiles which have been specifically designed for this model. The Streetfighter V4 prototype wears a ‘pixelated’ livery which has been designed by Centro Stile Ducati and the good thing is that it doesn’t hide the lines of the motorcycle but gives us a fair idea of how the real motorcycle will look.
“The Streetfighter V4 will be one of the stars of the Ducati World Premiere 2020,” declared Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati. “Streetfighter V4 is the Panigale for road riding; so there was no better stage than the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for what will be the highest performance Streetfighter ever put into production.”
Ducati will showcase the final production model of the Streetfighter V4 at the 2019 EICMA motorcycle show and it will go on sale from March 2020. We hope it makes its way to India considering that the Ducati Panigale V4 is also sold in India.
