of security when braking nice and
late for the corners around our
photo location at Big Bear.
If you ride the Streetfighter like
you stole it, be prepared to fill up
a lot. Across our test, I got just
under 100 miles (97.3) out of the
4.2-gallon tank with a few drops
of fuel to spare to get me to the
gas station before I had to push
it. Fuel flows quick on the Street-
fighter, but I didn't get the chance
to do a more sedate gas mileage
test, so 23.3 mpg it is. And that is
far from great when we're talking
a street bike. In fact, it's in direct
contrast to how much fun this
animal of a motorcycle is to ride.
Hey, if you're cool with $24K
for a naked bike, filling up for
gas every 100 laugh-out-loud
miles should be of absolutely no
concern.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 S
is a monumental motorcycle that
is a very worthy successor to
the brutish Streetfighter S from a
decade ago. The package is so
refined, so much nicer to ride, yet
so damn fast, it makes that earlier
Streetfighter feel nothing short of
a dinosaur.
But that's the nature of devel-
opment, right?
Like I said at the start of the
article, if you don't mind parting
with $24K to have one in your ga-
rage, you really should. And even
if you do mind parting with $24K,
you probably should, too. CN
The hills are alive
with the sound of
Streetfighter.
