I love the opening video. Ducati shot the bike with the wing mirrors taken off

[idb]

I'm salivating!!!

If I can just get a buyer for my Grandmother...

[mnkyboy]

The wantometer just exploded

I somehow don't think the CFO will authorise that though. She'd hit the roof if I came home with one....then want to go for a ride

I want one real bad.

It's got that surprised "WHAT THE FUCK" look happening like one of the Mormon Few decided to slip it one up the tailpipe.

Otherwise - quite nice.

Those wing mirrors are truly vile.

Looks like they have gone from the Monster to the Monstrosity

The wing mirrors really remind me of Frank in the film Donnie Darko.

Wow!!!

Although I agree with the comments about the mirrors - (you would want to replace those pretty quickly) - I'd definitely be keen

Oh yes.....

Thanks for the link.

That new 1198 looks amazing. Especially if it really does have similar performance to the 1098R.

The 1098 is dead! Long live the 1198!

[et al]

The new Streetfighter has been voted as the best-looking bike at the 2008 Milan show. Awesome! Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

Unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan in November 2008, the smoking-hot Ducati Streetfighter is slated to go on sale in the US by May this year. Priced at $18,995, the Streetfighter S will go on sale in May, while the base model Streetfighter, priced at $14,995, will probably be available by August.

While essentially based on the Ducati 1098, many of the Streetfighter’s bits and pieces are unique to the bike – it has a new subframe, more relaxed steering (25.6 degree rake, compared to 24.5 degrees on the 1098), a swingarm that’s 35mm longer than the 1098’s item, a redesigned cooling system to reduce the width of the bike and a new, fully digital dashboard.

The Streetfighter S is fitted with proper, high-spec bits – 43mm Öhlins USD fork, fully adjustable Öhlins monoshock, five-spoke forged alloy wheels from Marchesini, the Ducati Data Analysis system and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). The Streetfighter S will be available in two colours – red and black – with bronze-painted chassis and wheels, while the base model Streetfighter will come in red and white, with black wheels and dark-grey wheels.

Next week, Ducati will be organising test rides of the Streetfighter for some motorcycle magazines, in Malaga, Spain. In the meanwhile, here are technical specifications of the bike:
