The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is based on the company’s flagship supersport motorcycle, the Panigale V4. We recently tested this roadster-segment motorcycle for a comprehensive first-ride review. Here, we bring the best images of the BMW S 1000 R and the Yamaha MT-10-rivalling roadster motorcycle from the Italian manufacturer.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is available in two colour options – Ducati Red and Dark Stealth.
The styling cues on this motorcycle comprise a twin-pod headlight with an eyebrow-style DRL, a body-coloured mask, a chiselled fuel tank, a Panigale V4-inspired tail section, and aerodynamic winglets.
These winglets are claimed to deliver 28kg of downforce at 270kmph.
Then, similar to the supersport model, the Streetfighter V4 gets an underbelly design of the exhaust and a single-sided swingarm.
The contrasting shade for the parts around the radiator and the exhaust pipes adds a neat contrast to the Stealth Black paint theme.
It shares the MotoGP-derived 1,103cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with the Panigale V4 as well. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this motor is tuned to produce 205bhp at 12,750rpm and 123Nm at 9,500rpm. The gearbox benefits from a bidirectional quick-shifter.
The S variant of the Streetfighter V4 range (picture) benefits from an Ohlins-sourced electronically-adjustable suspension setup. This comprises Ohlins NIX30 front forks and an Ohlins TTX36 rear mono-shock.
The anchoring setup comprises twin 330mm discs with Brembo Monobloc Stylema M4.30 four-piston callipers at the front and a single 245mm single rotor with a two-pod calliper at the back.
Moreover, the motorcycle boasts a kerb weight of 199kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of over 1:1.
The comprehensive electronics package includes ride modes, power modes, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, slide control, engine brake control, and auto tyre calibration. It also benefits from a power launch, full-LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster, and an Ohlins steering damper.
The optional extras include Ducati Data Analyser with a GPS module, Ducati Multimedia System, an anti-theft system, and heated grips.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 range comprises four variants – V4 (Rs. 22.15 lakh), V4 S (Rs. 25.49 lakh), V4 SP (Rs. 34.99 lakh), and the upcoming V4 Lamborghini (Rs. 72 lakh – tentative).
