Both Streetfighters, the V4 and V4S, produce 208 hp and 90.4 lb-ft of torque which is a raging amount of power even if it does have 1103 cc of displacement. This is one motorcycle that will turn up the heat in any crowd.

Key features
Below are the key features for the aesthetics and performance that you can view with interactive images.
Aesthetics
If you follow my posts, you may know I absolutely love Ducatis but when I saw the V4 Streetfighter I went stupid because I’m a dedicated naked bike enthusiast. So you might feel that I’m exaggerating a bit but I’m serious when I say that this is the most beautiful bike available on the market today.
Well, that’s not entirely true. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to buy one now because they sold out like crazy. You’ll probably have to wait until June this year if you order today and I completely understand how that’s possible.
Performance
Imagine a bike that’s built for everyday riding; looks good, handles great and is comfortable. Now put a 208 hp engine into it with 90.4 lb-ft of torque but still only weighing less than 200 kg. That’s the Ducati V4 Streetfighter.
Not entirely true though. Ducati has made some adjustments to the gear ratios that make it a bit slower which is great when you are commuting and need to ride in traffic. But this also means you have more power at lower speeds than the Panigale V4.
Comparison
What’s the difference between the V4 and the V4S Streetfighters? Not much when you first look at them. The spec sheet from Ducati shows the only difference to be the weight. But the V4S hosts some special parts and equipment that the V4 doesn’t have.
