The public has crowned the Ducati Streetfighter V4 as the “Most Beautiful Bike of the Show” at EICMA 2019. The “Vote and win the most beautiful bike of the Show” competition, organized by the Italian magazine Motociclismo in collaboration with EICMA, reached its 15th edition this year, and for Ducati, this is the 10th victory.
Over 14,500 enthusiasts expressed their preference both at the fair and online at Motociclismo’s site, and the new super-naked Ducati took the first place with 36.7% of votes. The final day of the show was followed by the official ceremony in the presence of Giacomo Casartelli, Executive Director of EICMA and the Editor-in-Chief of Motociclismo Federico Aliverti, who presented the award.
Streetfighter V4 and V4S
Weighing in at 178 kg (392 lbs), the Streetfighter V4 is powered by a 1,103 cc Desmosedici Stradale engine producing 153 kW (208 metric hp) at 12,750 rpm and a torque of 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) at 11,500 rpm. A Ducati Performance exhaust by Akrapovič further cuts down the weight by 6 kg (13 lbs).
The electronics package includes ABS Cornering EVO, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2, Ducati Slide Control (DSC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Power Launch (DPL), Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, Engine Brake Control (EBC) EVO, and Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) EVO.
The more interesting aspect of the motorcycle is that those wings on the side are claimed to generate 28 kg (63 lbs) of downforce at 270 km/h (168 mph) — 20 kg (44 lbs) on the front wheel and 8 kg (18 lbs) on the rear.
