Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 Ducati Streetfighter S, a striking embodiment of Italian engineering and design that sits proudly in the naked bike category. This beauty is not merely a motorcycle; it's a visceral experience for riders who crave an exhilarating blend of performance, style, and handling. With its aggressive stance, muscular lines, and exposed mechanics, the Streetfighter S captures the essence of Ducati's racing heritage while catering to the demands of everyday street riding. This machine is tailored for those who appreciate the thrill of a powerful ride stripped of unnecessary frills, allowing the raw experience of motorcycling to take center stage. At the heart of the Streetfighter S lies a formidable 1099cc V2 engine, delivering a jaw-dropping 152.88 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and 115 Nm of torque at the same rev range. This powerhouse, with its 12.5:1 compression ratio, is designed for spirited rides, offering riders a thrilling acceleration and an addictive rush. The liquid-cooled engine is paired with a precise 6-speed gearbox that ensures seamless gear changes, allowing for quick bursts of speed when the moment calls. The lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just 167 kg (368.2 pounds), contributes to an agile and responsive ride, making the Streetfighter S a joy to maneuver in both urban environments and winding back roads. With a power-to-weight ratio of 0.9154 HP/kg, this motorcycle promises an exhilarating experience that few can rival. Ducati’s commitment to cutting-edge technology shines through in the Streetfighter S. The bike features a sophisticated Ohlins suspension system, with fully adjustable front forks and a rear monoshock, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup for comfort and performance. The braking system is equally impressive, boasting radially mounted four-piston calipers and floating discs that provide exceptional stopping power and feedback. The tubular steel trellis frame not only enhances the bike's stability and handling but also embodies the brand's distinctive aesthetic. With an electric starter, a fuel capacity of 16.5 liters, and eye-catching color options like the iconic Ducati Red and Titanium Matte, the Streetfighter S is as practical as it is stunning. **
