2009 Ducati Streetfighter New Motor Sport

Only those moterheads out there so you know, inside the mind of the stimulus there is a clause which makes sales of any purchase of a new motorcycle tax deductible in 2009 for the individual who makes less than 125k a year. In the spirit of sharing this good news we would like to purchase just what it should be. Devil himself made in the factory Ducati street, convenient it is named the Streetfighter.
Though the howling winds made it tough to ride at times, the bike still came across as very impressive.

As the day wore on and the track became more familiar the bike found its groove. With very comfortable ergos (for such intense performance) it took a minute to find a decent pace, but that mighty twin cylinder motor made it easier. It's 5 HP down on its 1098 Superbike brother, but on the street you'll never notice it anyways.

So is it the naked bike that we've been waiting for? A proper performing race replica that's more rideable on the road than the full-on sportbike?
