Italian bike maker Ducati has won the “Most Beautiful Bike of the Show” award at the recently concluded 2019 EICMA for no other than the Streetfighter V4. The hyper naked managed to stack a total of 36.7 per cent of the votes cast at the show and online by the general public.
And if you were wondering, it isn’t the first time the Italian bike maker has received this prestigious award. It is Ducati’s tenth win out of the fifteen editions conducted for the award. Over 14,500 people cast their vote out of which the gorgeous looking Streetfighter V4 won the maximum hearts of the visitors at the fair and also the users on the Motociclismo site. The new super-naked had a considerable advantage in terms of votes, the second position was acquired by Aprilia’s RS660 bagging 14.9 per cent votes and the third place was won by the MV Agusta Superveloce 800 with 11.23 per cent votes.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is the naked version of the fully-faired flagship Panigale V4. The motorcycle features a high and wide-set handlebar, biplane wings for downforce, weighs 178 kg (S version) and packs the same Desmosedici Stradale 1,103cc engine which pumps 205bhp with a power to weight ratio of 1.17. With those figures, the Streetfighter V4 is an absolute hooligan which it doesn’t try to hide even by a bit.
Besides the Streetfighter V4, Ducati had also unveiled the new Panigale V2, 2020 edition of the Panigale V4, Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour, Diavel 1260 in new Dark Stealth shade, Diavel 1260 S in Ducati Red livery, Monster 1200 with a Black on Black colour scheme and lastly the Scrambler Icon Dark. The manufacturer had also showcased two scrambler concept motorcycles namely Scrambler DesertX and Scrambler Motard models.
