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.

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.  waytogo

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 laughingdp laughingdp

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  waytogo

I love mine, but its been lightly breathed on Wink

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...
