@@cyclenews maaate ! .. these the end of the old skool.. you're a loooong way off that target.. go back to the 1980gsx1100.. the H2750.. Norton 850 & that by the std THEN was the "featherbed" frame.. 69 trident.. 66 rocket3.. but then go back to the REEAALL naked muscle bikes.. Vincent HRD & Brough Superior ss100.. WHAT bikes today can outrun the fastest fighter planes.. they could !

I’ve got one, the S, I’m never selling it. I ride a Tuono, S1000r, and gsxr1000r daily (one at a time) but every time I get back on the SF, I find myself grinning and having a ball! It’s and event and never gets boring.

I'm surprised most people never knew about Streetfighter before the new Streetfighter V4 was launched.....like yeah Monster series is good but Streetfighter was probably the most exotic and hardcore naked bike i ever knew about.. Love at first sight it was for me.... The new Streetfighter is good but.... The old one just hits the spot perfectly for me

i’ve got one 1098s Black, l bought it in 2009 .. it’s never missed a beat and I still love it the same as the day I bought it.

I rather have the org Streetfighter 1098 than the plasticky Streetfighter v4. The early photoshop pictures of an naked Panigale V4 looked way better than what Ducati released as Streetfigher v4 with all that plastic....

Great review. Hardcore hooligan bike. Always like how you cover all bikes. Straight shooter no BS. Keep up the great work Sir!

Love the clutch, the frame and the testastretta engine!

Cool to see you took the effort to look back to the old one. I love my Streetfighter 1098 S. It's roughness, analog riding style and all the Ducati heritage (dry clutch, trellis, big L-Twin) that makes this bike so much fun to ride and to look at. Looking forward to test the new one too, but the old one definitely is staying ;-)

What a cool raw motorcycle, great review and video!

the Gen 1 tuono was my favorite bike ever. it was so comfortable and confidence inspiring with the handling. its the only bike i could wheelie while exiting a corner and not fret at all. This thing looks pretty badass. all power and grunt and i love that.

Awesome bikes. Taking my for a ride up bells line in a few weeks haha

Hey Rennie, great ride around the block. The 848/1098 series are still my favourite “modern” Ducatis. Skinny, hard and love the lumpy sound. Also can’t help wondering how Americans get on with the self deprecating Aussie humour and terms like “let ‘er rip”. These days the Bells and Old Pac Highway are so heavily policed you have to go to Eastern Creek to really “let ‘er rip”. Looking forward to the Street V4 review.

Bruce Leong your not wrong, the police just harass you to death on old pac. Heaven forbid if you ride without a reflector

Absolutely gorgeous bike and all analog which is so great. Really scary if you don't know what you are doing can get into some trouble or hooliganizing at the drop of a hat.

My ‘11 1098S SF has three riding modes and ABS, and a titanium carriage to secure your balls.

good one, Rennie!

Ah the good old days of 2010. Apart from ABS I not keen on any other electronic riding aids. Thanks for the trip down memory lane Rennie. 👍🇦🇺🍺

Burned through the rear tire over 1000 miles of Italian twisties as fast and hard as I cold manage on one of these (non S though) with the staff of the Motogiro D'Italia that year (police Expect us to triple the speed limit!). Italians LOVE their motorcycles and if you can keep up, your money's no good at the espresso bar. If you can't, well, bring a GPS. They do not wait. At all. Was still amazed when I swapped with a BMW1000RR. Constantly worried about power wheelies and/or running out of road. Even on strange new roads and someone else's bike with the electronics all supposedly off thinking I was calm, the owner said he had never seen anyone lean over so far. To be fair, I ride mountains every day almost and He was British. I think that county only has about 35 corners total. And they're ALL facing the wrong direction. What am amazing machine.

When is the press ride for the sfv4?

Don’t have street fighter but at least I have Monster 1100(2009) 🤟

I feel that a cool, unique bike like this original SF deserved a ride in a proper riding environment like some quiet twisty roads where it's real, hardcore, hooligan character could be experienced/demonstrated. If you're going to bother making a video, at least ride the bike where it can somewhat do it's thing

S model has TC. And DQS upgrade sold separately.

Do you ever hear about Brutale or Tuono?

Now that's how you say Ducati!

Porsche 550 Spyder at 2:54. Probably a kit car but still cool.

those are some of the weirdest upright bars I have ever seen. They slope downwards for some reason? I generally don't like putting aftermarket stuff on bikes, but those handlebars would go immediately in lieu of some ProTaper Pastrana bends.

Looks like someone turned them down. That’s not the proper set up.

@nerdsunscripted624

They look turned the wrong way, but sloping them down would be the only way to get a handlebar height that’s in between a flat bar and clip ons. Originally they go forward and slope back towards you simply for a more ergonomic wrist angle

I was shocked that he didnt like the 990SD. You talk about two of the worst 1000cc streetfighters around the cb1000r and fz1 but didnt like the SD. 🤪 SD and 1098 should be in the same league. Waiting for the streetfighter v4! That will be epic!

​@@fredrikmehlin I depends so much on what you have ridden just before testing a certain bike. Any v2 "super"naked fighter would feel very agressive if you have gotten used to softer and smoother bikes. My first bike was Kawasaki zxr400 fighter and almost none of the new bikes I rode left hardly any impression - they were very dull anf fluffy (despite the power). 990 superduke (the latest incarnation) was one of the few bikes I found interesting, since it was a bit harsh and angry. I really liked cb1000r, since it was well balanced, fast and comfortable. FZ1 was also quite ok - only a bit stiff and docile on low rpms. Some bikes are nice because they are just so hardcore and exciting, but other bikes can be just as good and offer more comfort and usability while being just as fast or even faster.

My godd nothing but stop signs!
