Found this today. Dont know if its been seen before or even if its real, but I like it. 200 odd bhp and no fairing!
I don't get it when people say bikes are pointless, most bikes built nowadays are already pointless power wise if they're not used on track. A huge majority of 1000+cc superbikes bought probably never see a track in they're life. i love bikes like the 1098sfs, the new 1290 KTM superduke (prototype) and if they buld this I'd love it too. you can fix everything the world throws at you with a fist full of twin torque, a loud pipe and an angry looking bike. Naked bikes are great. build it and they will come
Looks nice, needs more of head-light at a little screen, just to direct that wind-blast. To be honest cannot see the point having a 197 bhp naked bike. When anything over 90 mph without a fairing is a pain in the neck, (no pun intended) Who says fairings are for girls, Total shit. I would Go for a fairing bike any day of the week.
Sorry skidoff but for day to day bike fairings are only extra weight. I would go for naked every day of the week if it looked awesome (street fighter does this not so much).
That's a photoshop I'm afraid, but I'm sure there will be a 1199 Streetfighter eventually, but not for a good few years yet
It's photoshopped... appeared on the internet shortly after 1199 release. Although if Ducati will ever make 1199 Streetfighter this is probably quite close to how it will look like.
I removed the bikini fairing from my 100 bhp Monster as it's completely useless and detract the organic aggression of a naked machine. The bike is my commuter and never reaches more than 70 mph on the roads covered during every weekday. Yet I look forward to the 1199 SF if it becomes available. You win most traffic light GPs and make a nice sound at any speed when you want to play, it's also good to know that the high level of power reserve is there should you need it - so to me it's very relevant.
