Pictures of Ducati's new Streefighter might have leaked before the launch, but the impact of seeing the new beast romping onto the stage at the Milan show was quite something. Just one glance at the aggressive SF and you see that this is a take-no-prisoners tool.
With the Ducati 1098-derived motor boasting a claimed 155 horsepower and 373 pounds of alleged dry weight, Ducati reenters the power-naked arena with a creature that bears little resemblance to the good old, Monster S4R. The frame is firmly based on the 1098, too, so those are mainly the few bright red body parts that create quite a bold choreographic effect with the sharpish front headlight leading the way.
