Title: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: IdZer0 on July 23, 2009, 10:38:53 PM Ducati Streetfighter test report (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udniZGARyQY#ws-lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
Maybe it's a good thing that it costs 16000€ over here, cause otherwise I'd be in way over my head with this thing. Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: ArguZ on July 23, 2009, 11:48:02 PM I really hope one day they bring a proper microphone to the interview... :)
Something with suitable wind protection. Speaking of sounds...did you hear the plastik and tin sounds when he was knocking on the tank and the exhaust protector. Thats exatcly the impression I got when I was checking out the bike.. Somehow strange with a pricetag that high to get those false impressions. Well...ok..I can't expect it sound like an Audi Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: duc996 on July 24, 2009, 12:29:14 AM He's got a great job [thumbsup]

If i didn't just loose my job I'd consider trading in my S4RS

i'm an idiot. Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: duccarlos on October 30, 2009, 10:26:25 AM Don't feel bad, I thought the same thing. Damn limeys driving on the wrong side.
Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: geoffduc on October 30, 2009, 10:50:18 AM Carlos thats no way to talk about your limey friends ;) ;)
And besides you wouldn't really like a streetfighter, your more a monster kind of guy [laugh] [laugh] [coffee] Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: duccarlos on October 30, 2009, 11:24:48 AM I'm pretty sure I would like it.
Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: Goat_Herder on October 30, 2009, 12:28:39 PM Great review by MCN and I am glad to hear MCN backing Ducati on the quality issue (reputation). Love the StreetFighter. It's going to tough decision for me when it comes to time for a new bike - SF vs SBK.
Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: LA on October 31, 2009, 02:09:28 PM When they first came out I was a little bit of a naysayer - didn't want to believe my venerable S4RS had been outclassed.
Not too long ago I went over to Touring Sport in Greenburg, SC and swung a leg over one and really got to give it a very close look. Was offered a ride, but way too much traffic. The seating position seemed way different - more up on it where you can see right down the forks seemed like. The pipes are humongus. It's an awesome motorcycle and I'd give my (fill in you favorite body part here), no, not that one, to have a SF. But of course it'd have to be an S and have the Termi kit. [bow_down] [bow_down] I'd already have one, but I don't have the 18 or so large $ and the change for the kit. The RS is still a hell of a good bike and NOTHING looks better in my book. [thumbsup] LA Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: geoffduc on October 31, 2009, 09:47:40 PM Larry the streetfighter is in another class but don't worry as to my mind and alot of others the S4R-S4RS are way better looking and after riding a couple of SFs I can honestly say that this old fart don't need that much power [laugh] [laugh]
I've done alittle blinging up of a streetfighter for a friend, (rizmo bars, grips, barends,fluid pots and brackets, tail tidy with rizoma indicators and a bit of carbon) he took the bike to the Isle of Man and sent a pic which i'll send for you to post [thumbsup] [coffee] Title: Re: MCN Streetfighter review Post by: RetroSBK on November 01, 2009, 04:56:12 AM I love mine, but its been lightly breathed on ;)
I dont think it is quite as comfortable as a S4R (or RS), My seat is up 35mm, bars up 60, and back 25, and the footrests are down 25. The "Rider Triangle" took a bit of fine tuning but im a bit bigger than the average guy... Will |
