Streetfighter, baby!

Its official.  There's a new street fighter in town.  As in Ducati Streetfighter.



Ducati will be bringing a Streetfighter 848 to the unsuspecting masses, available in yellow, matte black, and, of course, Ducati red.

The baby Streetfighter's 848 engine isn't just a recycled pre-848Evo hand-me-down.  Instead, this baby houses a modified Testastretta 11° engine that was first introduced with the  Ducati Multistrada 1200.  Here's to hoping it has the Multistrada's 15,000-mile service intervals too!

The Streetfighter 848 brings with it a diminutive price tag as well.  At least by Ducati standards. While the price has yet to be released by Ducati, it could price in the range o the $12,000 Monster 1100Evo and $13,000 848Evo Superbike.  Considerably less expensive than its big brother.

The Ducati Streetfighter 848 will be available in North America beginning in January, 2012.

Cheers!
