geofferz Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Ducati V4 streetfighter, naked kawasaki zh2 supercharged Z1000 thing, general release mv brutale 1000, all with 200+ bhp. The mv will be properly launched in a couple of weeks "> The new Streetfighter V4 is powered by a 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine. In this configuration the 90° V4 delivers 208bhp@12,750 rpm, an unrivalled power level within the naked segment, perfectly in keeping with the all-out character of the new Streetfighter V4.Maximum torque is 123Nm@11,500 rpm, practically unchanged with respect to the Panigale V4. Dedicated engine mapping lets riders safely make the most of Streetfighter V4 performance on the road.The final ratio, shorter than that of the Panigale V4, delivers a wheel torque higher of +10%, which ensures an immediate response to the throttle command.The engine can be boosted to 220bhp with an Akrapovic exhaust, which also reduces weight by 6kg to 172 [201kg wet] A good week for naked fans.Kawasaki zh2Maximum power147.1 kW {200 PS} / 11,000 rpmCO2 emission148 g/kmMaximum torque137 N•m {14 kgf•m} / 8,500 rpm This is the LE Serie oro that's already out, and sold out, and even more extortionate than the general release will be.

Mr Fro Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The hook line should be something like:"Guaranteed to make your neck ache" Quote
Stu Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The hook line should be something like:"Guaranteed to make your neck ache" Well it won't be from the wind! Not when the front end will be always in the air Quote
Matt Strange Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I've yet to see any manufacturer make a naked bike that has an attractive front end, the headlight cowl/instrument cluster on them is always grim.That Kawasaki will weight 40kg more than the rest? Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I've yet to see any manufacturer make a naked bike that has an attractive front end, the headlight cowl/instrument cluster on them is always grim. Voila! A clear case of the less the better. Quote
Copycat73 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The hook line should be something like:"Guaranteed to make your neck ache" likely a second bike for hooning around .. so not a problem.. you should try one. Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Bloody expensive for just hooning around! Maybe when I win the lottery. Meanwhile I can admire from afar and personally I don't find the fronts ugly. But then given what I ride that's no surprise. Quote
Arwen Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Are MV Agusta the only manufacturer able to make nice looking exhausts now? Quote
Copycat73 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Bloody expensive for just hooning around! as maybe .. but don`t judge others disposable income by yours. Quote
Mr Fro Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 The hook line should be something like:"Guaranteed to make your neck ache" likely a second bike for hooning around .. so not a problem.. you should try one.You buying? Quote
Six30 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 £17500 for standard V4 and £19750 for the S model not a shock really Ducati know how to ask . Quote
skyrider Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Are MV Agusta the only manufacturer able to make nice looking exhausts now? most modern bikes look like they have a dustbin strapped to the side of them Quote
S-Westerly Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Bloody expensive for just hooning around! as maybe .. but don`t judge others disposable income by yours. My disposable income is doing very nicely thank you but it's still a lot of money for a toy and there's other things I personally prefer to spend my money on - toys or otherwise. Quote
The Hitcher Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Are MV Agusta the only manufacturer able to make nice looking exhausts now? Apparently yes, one thing that I think spoils the looks of my bike, and looks even worse on this streetfighter V4 as they don’t have a fairing to blend in with is the exhaust, still I won’t be replacing mine, I’m not paying £2k plus for a set of end cans!.

Copycat73 Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 You buying? Already have a honda & 701 .. to hoon around on. Quote
Mr Fro Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Already have a honda & 701 .. to hoon around on. No, no, no. We clearly have a misunderstanding... What I meant was: Are you going to buy me one so I can review it for you? Quote

I mean, the mv is gorgeous. And yes the Kwak is heavier than... the others. Quote

Mr Fro Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 plenty of sailors in Bury to help with your misunderstanding ... True... but I live in Bury St Edmunds and servicemen need to be careful round these parts as they've been known to disappear without trace. Quote

I guess all naked do kinda look the same from the front, plus the headlight, yes. Quote
Matt Strange Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 I hate the instrument cluster on the Streetfighter V4, it looks like a sat-nav stuck on top of the headlight. Ducati need me in their styling department Before: After: Quote
Ian Frog Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Did someone say cute front end ?CheersIan Quote
