Ducati Streetfighter V4 Teased Ahead Of World Premiere

Ducati has released a new teaser video of the upcoming Ducati Streetfighter V4. The new teaser video reveals specifications which leave no doubt that the Streetfighter V4 will be a crackler of a performer. The Streetfighter V4 will be the lightest, fastest and most powerful naked bike ever to be built by Ducati, with a maximum power output of 208 bhp at 12,750 rpm, along with a 178 kg weight, which is likely to be the dry weight, with kerb weight around 195 kg, as much as the Ducati Panigale V4S.

The new Streetfighter V4 will also come equipped with the same electronics package as the Panigale V4, with a full-colour, TFT, instrument panel, as well as multiple riding modes. The bike will be powered by the same 1,103 cc, Desmosedici Stradale 90-degree V4 engine of the Panigale V4, with possibly a slightly different state of tune. The Streetfighter V4 will also come with bi-plane wings which will offer better aerodynamics.

As with other high-performance Ducati motorcycles, the Streetfighter V4 is expected to be introduced in two variants, with a higher-spec 'S' variant to get electronic suspension as the Panigale V4S. So far, there's no word on a commercial launch, but we expect the new Ducati Streetfighter V4 production model to be unveiled at the EICMA 2019 show in Milan, followed by the new bike's commercial launch in early 2020. As with other Ducati models, expect the Streetfighter V4 to be introduced in India as well, possibly by the first quarter of 2020.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

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.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.
