When Ducati unveiled it's 09 model lineup we knew something was in the works when the Monster line included only two models-the 696 and 1100, both of which are air-cooled. What of the liquid-cooled line? Surely there would be something to replace the aging S4Rs. The obvious next progression of the Monster was sure to be a 1098-engined model, right? Well, yes, but since the line had received a facelift Ducati decided to revamp the entire model range and do something special for the 1098 power plant. The result is the Streetfighter. In a somewhat unexpected move, Ducati has separated its liquid-cooled and air-cooled lines. Drawing inspiration from caf-racers of the past, the Streetfighter takes its superbike heritage it knows so well and given it a distinctly Italian twist-shedding the fairings, fitting some proper bars, mounting a single headlight and making the bike look genuinely sinister.
