2015 Ducati Streetfighter 848 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Ducati's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Ducati Streetfighter 848 utilizes a 849 cc (51.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 132 HP (96.4 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 93.5 Nm (69 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 155.5 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (9,500 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the Streetfighter 848 measures 199 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.66 HP/kg (1.51 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
