Drag Race: Is A Ducati Streetfighter V4 Faster Than A Honda CBR1000RR?
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is arguably the fastest naked motorcycle on the market right now. It not only makes crazy numbers but comes laden with wings and top-shelf electronics to help you churn out every ounce of performance available.
Even after all this, though, many still believe it’s simply not fast enough to keep up with a 1000cc faired sportbike. So we did some digging and came across a drag race between a Streetfighter V4 and a Honda CBR1000RR SP that will help find out whether the aforementioned statement is true.
2023 Ducati Monster SP And Panigale V4 R On The Horizon
Ducati recently announced its plans to unveil seven new motorcycles via seven world premieres starting from September 2, 2022, and, as expected, the Panigale-maker is tight-lipped about what’s what.
However, a type-approval document filed by Ducati reveals that one of the seven motorcycles will be the Monster SP. The document, filed last week in Australia, lists three Monster variants - Monster, Monster +, and Monster SP. The first two are already part of Ducati’s portfolio, making the SP the newest addition.

Top 10 Long Distance Motorcycle Rides
Many of us dream of getting on our motorcycle and heading off towards the horizon, with the aim of not stopping until we have performed a full circle and arrived right back where we started or have at least gone from A to B over a large distance.
Of course, not all of us can spare the time or the money to undertake such a journey which makes it all the more fascinating to look at who has managed it. Right from the earliest days of the motorcycle, intrepid motorcyclists have attempted to go further and further, encountering and defeating adversity in all its forms, whether it be pioneering trails across whole continents in the very earliest days or dealing with innumerable forms of obstinate bureaucracy from one country to the next in more recent times.
For every attempt that has succeeded, there are countless others that have faltered for one reason or another. They do not concern us here: rather, this list is a celebration of those who completed what they set out to achieve.
The list is, of course, vastly incomplete. There have been dozens of hugely impressive rides over the past century, but we have chosen the ones of most significance. Maybe others will resonate more with you but at least this list will get you started.
