Ducati Streetfighter: New vs Old

Born of necessity when sportbike riders didn’t want a crash mixed with a lack of funds to keep them from riding, streetfighter motorcycles developed a significant following over the years for reasons beyond youthful determination. The power of the sportbike was still on tap and the bike itself was stripped down to its essentials - it was raw and visceral and unpretentious - tantamount to the yo...

    Well done. It takes a bit of getting used to launching these bikes. Back in 2009 I achieved a 10.21 on my 2004 Yamaha R1. Completely stock. Although I was very light back then, about 65kg. I’m curious, what is your weight? And did you use launch control?

  • @Chrisnuzzo76
    @Chrisnuzzo76 Před 2 lety

    Odd, because the older 98-2003 r1's ran 10.20 quarter mile because they had no rider safety computer restrictions. They were all driver skill. Even the 04-08 were capable of 9.88. Funny part is that the 03 (I own one) has only 152 hp. Mine makes about 170 after full exhaust and Power Commander dyno tune, so if I ran wheelie bars I'd likely run a faster quarter than the R1M because it's old school bike with the only electronics being it's fuel injection. The whole reason I bought an 03 is because I grew up on bikes without power modes and anti-wheelie tech. The only tech I don't mind is ABS, you can keep the rest.

And while they didn't go into great detail, Matt did mention that the area that you store your bike in should be pest-controlled, so it is more about the storage location than any tips with the bike.
