Ducati Streetfighter V4 Prototype Officially Revealed

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 was always in the pipeline after the launch of the Panigale V4. In fact over the last few months, the motorcycle has been spied testing in Europe multiple times. But now, Ducati has officially confirmed it by releasing photographs of the Streetfighter V4 prototype. It looks downright delicious! The chiselled fuel tank, sharp front end and that naked styling is already making us drool, even with the camouflage on! The motorcycle will be seen in action at the 2019 Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb where it will be ridden by Carlin Dunne, who is a former Pikes Peak Champion. Ducati believes that the 'Race to the Clouds' will be the ideal testing grounds for the Streetfighter V4, which is meant to be ridden on road rather than the racetrack.

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 will use the same 1,100 cc engine from the Panigale V4 but gives a miss to the fairings. It also gets higher and wider handlebars as well. The Desmosedici Stradale gets aerodynamic profiles which have been specifically designed for this model. The Streetfighter V4 prototype wears a 'pixelated' livery which has been designed by Centro Stile Ducati and the good thing is that it doesn't hide the lines of the motorcycle but gives us a fair idea of how the real motorcycle will look.

"The Streetfighter V4 will be one of the stars of the Ducati World Premiere 2020," declared Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati. "Streetfighter V4 is the Panigale for road riding; so there was no better stage than the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for what will be the highest performance Streetfighter ever put into production."

Ducati will showcase the final production model of the Streetfighter V4 at the 2019 EICMA motorcycle show and it will go on sale from March 2020. We hope it makes its way to India considering that the Ducati Panigale V4 is also sold in India.

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
