Ducati has brought the new V2 and V4 SP on the motorcycle scene.
The first thing sets the V2 apart from other Streetfighter models is its styling. It features what Ducati calls “a styled-to-look-fast” look to distinguish it from the V4 by definition.
If you’re looking for aggressive stance, then you’ve come to the right place. The resculpted tank, frame rails, side cover, bulges all help to give this bike a tremendous attitude. However, it comes with an even more striking design feature: its tail section.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP represents a different approach to the consumer brand. The Streetfighter V4 family underlines the “Ducati Sport” repositioning. And enables an even stronger connection to the race track while maintaining the “street-ness” of the motorcycle. And it is an absolute ripper.
Design plays a massive role in this new generation of new nakeds. And the Ducati Streetfighter V2 and V4 SP is no exception. Ducati says the bike was designed with “pure muscularity, simplicity and riding pleasure.” The Streetfighter family has grown beyond just a machine.
