The Ducati Streetfighter 848 was first introduced as a 2012 model but, more importantly, as a practical alternative to Ducati’s wheelie-prone Streetfighter 1098. The Testastretta 11° engine, with its reduced valve overlap, produces around 113 hp and 60.5 foot-pounds of torque, which gives the Duc a slight advantage over Yamaha’s new three-cylinder platform. A typical Ducati, the Streetfighter’s styling is hard to argue with, too. The less-is-more 848 doesn’t fall short in the performance category, and thanks to its surplus of low-end torque and beefy Brembo brakes it’ll give a bike like the Triumph Street Triple R a run for its money. Due to overly aggressive ergonomics (for a naked bike), laborious controls, and a glitch in the fueling below 3,500 rpm, it’s a bit less favorable around town but still plenty entertaining. If you prefer a bike with Italian flair, the Streetfighter 848 could be exactly what your garage is missing. Price: $ 13, 495 When riding the Ducati Streetfighter 848, don't forget to wear a cool helmet or a custom painted helmet. Submit your articles to AMAZINES.COM
