2009 Ducati Fighter

[Lukey]

Amazed at the varied responses on all the forums about love / hate the new streetfighter, the original monster was received the same way I'm sure, way back in 94.

I wouldn't be so sure...I seem to remember universal acclaim.  Except from the GSXR1100 crowd of course...

Ok now its growing on me those pics are much better.... I'll take a red one!

I love the beefy stacked exhaust.

And Henry Ford said it best, "any color as long as it's black."

it's a pregnant dog this, i really want the BLACK ONE... but it's soooo much more money!

I'm sure I'll use mine to tour on as I do with my tuono.

I think they've hit a home run.

Don't expect to be touring on that sucker!!  Unless they expanded the tank to at least 6 gallons have fun stopping every 100miles if it is anything like the 1098's gas consumption

Don't think I'd put one in my personal garage, but I'd love to have the opportunity to make the beast with two backs with one asthetically.  There are things I would change on it FOR SURE.

*YOU HEAR THAT D.N.A.!!!!*

The B-King.  You have got to be make the beast with two backsing kidding me.  You obviously haven't seen one of those turds in person.

And KTM has always been a dirt bike company, so of course their first street bike was naked.

I didnt say the Bking was a beauty i said that manufacters already convert sportbikes to naked or streetfighters before so i added the B-King which is a Naked hayabusa. i know looks ugly but i rode one and i have to say might be the faster naked production bike i ever rode..

I think the racked out forks looks really cool.   Interesting to see how the handling will be different, it has the slightly longer wheelbase.

Yamaha does this styling better.  This bike looks 200lbs lighter and a lot less cluttered.

It may look lighter in your eyes, but it's not

Well it's an inline four so the side profile is much smaller than the l twin. Also, I like the ducati trellis frame, much less of a bulk to the traditional frame in the Japanes bikes.

Ducati quote 366 or 368 pounds for the streetfighter, of course anyone who's been around manufacturers  quoted weights and ducatis in particular will know it's hard to duplicate the claimed weights.

at least the stock exhaust is cool

[darkster]

The more I look at it the more it looks to me like the proper continuation of the S4R line.  In a modern angular way it looks like an updated monster (much better than that 696 and 1100 crap). 
But where is a black one with a red frame? Thats the color combo I want.  Disappointed they don't have at least a black standard one, the S is prolly more than I'm willing to pay right now for a motorcycle and too much to pay for just a color combo.

Black with red frame and red stripe standard version please.
