2012 Ducati Streetfighter S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Ducati's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter S relies on a 1099 cc (67.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 155 HP (113.1 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 115.3 Nm (85 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 141 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Streetfighter S measures 167 kg (368 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.93 HP/kg (1.08 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.
