# Rubber-Burning Naked Bikes The Wild “Ducati Streetfighter” Flashes Powerful Raci By Alexandra Choli | Published 2009-03-27 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-streetfighter-s-naked-motorbike References: [hellforleathermagazine](http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/03/ducati-streetfighter-up-close.html) & [hellforleathermagazine](http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/03/ducati-streetfighter-hits-the.html) Fusing elegance and adventure, the eye-catching Ducati Streetfighter is touted as the most powerful motorcycle that Italians have ever built. The bike claims a 1098cc engine with 155 wild horses of power. The energizing superbike bears a comprehensive carbon fiber treatment. This includes: racing silencers, undertank side panels, swingarm guard, passenger seat cover, and a rear hugger. The bike is entirely crafted out of the sleek, lightweight material. The aggressive rubber-burner also shows off a slipper clutch kit, a Tecno billet aluminium clutch cover, a state-of-the-art electronic shifter, an aluminium number plate holder, and a gripping racing seat. With traction control, Marchesini wheels and an Öhlins suspension, the pimped up Ducati Streetfighter S adds a few more sparks for those fancy speed lovers. Still, I would easily settle for the non-S but absolutely striking version. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Carbon Fiber Motorcycles:** The use of carbon fiber in motorcycles is a growing trend that offers opportunities for lightweight and durable designs. - **Electronic Shifters:** Motorcycle manufacturers are embracing electronic shifters as a key innovation that can improve rider experience and offer new design opportunities. - **Traction Control in Motorcycles:** The adoption of advanced traction control systems in motorcycles represents a significant trend that enhances safety and performance desired by buyers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Motorcycle Industry:** Manufacturers in the motorcycle industry are developing new designs and technologies to improve the performance, safety and customer experience of their products. - **Materials Industry:** The increasing use of lightweight and durable materials such as carbon fiber in motorcycles presents opportunities for growth and innovation in the materials industry. - **Automotive Retail Industry:** The demand for high-performance motorcycles and advanced motorcycle technologies presents opportunities for retailers in the automotive industry to expand their product lines and target new customer segments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Luxe Italian Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panigale.md) - [High-Tech 200 HP Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperfighter.md) - [168 HP Cruiser Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati.md) - [Carbon Fiber Supercar Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini.md) - [Lightweight Four-Cylinder Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panigale-v4.md) - [Custom Aluminum Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821.md) - [Desert-Ready Dirt Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desertx.md) - [High-Performance Streetfighter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aprilia-tuono-457.md) - [Riproaring Sport Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-sport-motorbikes.md)
