Ducati 2012 Streetfighter 848 revealed

Well Nicky Hayden teased it last week from Bologna saying that Ducati would be revealing a new bike on Monday (which everyone knew would be the Streetfighter 848), and he was right.
Here’s the first official images of the Italian manufacturers Streetfighter 848, the smaller version of its more powerful and expensive cousin and that the guys from Motoblog.

it will get a chance to test next week, so we expect to find out more on how this little beauty handles when put through its paces.
The 848 will make its appearance at the EICMA show and will be available to the public in November, and at the moment Ducati hasn’t revealed specs or prices, just this brief description: Combining a new and brilliantly engineered 848 Testastretta 11° engine with the enhanced geometry of a chassis that provides confidence-inspiring agility, the Streetfighter 848 has enriched its user-friendliness with a smooth and flexible power delivery, revised ergonomics and Ducati Traction Control.
The Ducati Streetfighter scored a round one knock-out when it entered the ring for the first time at the Milan show back in November 2008, winning the ‘Most Beautiful Bike’ award and raising the bar for extreme nakeds.

Its asphalt-ripping reputation became the desire of sport naked connoisseurs throughout the world and the Streetfighter 848 will now widen that appeal even further with enhanced usability.
Available from November 2011 onwards, the new fighter is dressed in red for Ducati traditionalists, while yellow makes a return for mid-range purists and “dark stealth” provides a matte-black reminder of the Streetfighter’s aggressive image.
