Picture special: Ducati Streetfighter action shots

YESTERDAY WE brought you the news that Ducati is already building a VMAX-beating musclebike, in the shape of the new, supercool Vyper, and today we're bringing you the world's first riding shots of the company's new 155bhp Streetfighter, which is due to go on sale this Spring.

The machine features fully-adjustable traction control, similar to the system used on the company's 1198S road bike. And it's stylish too: the Streetfighter was voted the best-looking bike at the Milan Motorcycle Show.

We think it looks fantastic, too!
