The Ducati Streetfighter V4 S has finally landed
on U.S. shores. Is it as good as it looks?

f you're not into reading concise, in-depth road tests, I'll save you the time.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 S is one of the great motorcycles of our time.
The thing is so fast, so comfortable, with such street presence, you should
feel sorry for much (not all) of the competition. And if you don't mind parting
with $24K to have one in your garage, you really should.
However, if you want a little more thought put into the test, read on.
We've already had a pretty good year for new bike releases, especially if
you—like me—are a naked-bike lover. At a glance, we've had the plainly moronic
acceleration offered by the new supercharged Kawasaki Z H2; a revised and
refreshed KTM 1290 Super Duke R; a facelift for the Kawasaki Z900, and a
personal favorite in the sensational KTM 890 Duke R. Notice a pattern here?
