2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 & Ducati Streetfighter 1198 Coming in September

We’ve gotten details from several highly credible sources that Ducati will debut to the public two new Streetfighters in September. Replacing the Streetfighter 1098 is the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 1198, which as the name suggests, will get a 100cc displacement increase. The catch however is that the new motor will not come from the leftover Superbike 1198 mills, and instead Ducati is using the Testastretta 11° motor (as seen in the Multistrada 1200 and Diavel) in the new Streetfighter 1198. Ducati will also unveil a smaller displacement Ducati Streetfighter 848, which as the name suggests, borrows from the Superbike motor of similar numbering.
