Italian superbike manufacturer Ducati's new naked bike the Streetfighter V4 has been selected as 'Most Beautiful Bike of the Show' at EICMA 2019. The bikemaker says the verdict was decreed by the general public who voted at the show or online.
The 'Vote and win the most beautiful bike of the Show' competition was organised by the Italian magazine Motociclismo in collaboration with EICMA. Over 14,500 enthusiasts expressed their preference and the Streetfighter V4 was the most voted motorcycle by both visitors to the Fair and users of the Motociclismo site. The new super-naked Ducati took first place with 36.7 percent of votes and a considerable advantage over the second-placed bike.
The ballot of the votes received took place on November 10, the final day of the show and was followed by the official ceremony outside on the stage of MotoLive in the presence of Giacomo Casartelli, executive director of EICMA and the editor-in-chief of Motociclismo Federico Aliverti, who presented the award.
The award for the Borgo Panigale Company was picked up by Andrea Ferraresi, Ducati Design Center Director: “We are particularly proud to receive this award in a competition where all the manufacturers participate with their flagship models and the general public of EICMA, the most important motorcycle fair in the world, has elected the Streetfighter V4 as the most beautiful".
The ceremony for the 'Most Beautiful Bike of the Show' was the last act of an intense week of exhibition and events that saw over half a million visitors at EICMA, an increase compared to 2018, confirming the positive signs of recovery coming from the motorcycle sector.
Right from the first day of opening, the public crowded the Ducati stand. First among the three totally new bikes to be presented is the Streetfighter V4, the super-naked with high and wide handlebars and 178 kg weight, Desmosedici Stradale 1 with 103 cc engine, 208 hp, biplane wings and a latest generation electronic package. The result of this 'The Fight Formula' is an exaggerated, modern Ducati naked with an aggressive design.
The company says in addition to the 'queen' of the show, the completely renewed Panigale V2 and the 2020 version of the Panigale V4, the most sold sports bike in the world in the last two years.
Ducati has introduced five new versions for 2020: the Multistrada 1260 S Grand Tour, the Diavel 1260 in the new 'Dark Stealth' colouring and the Diavel 1260 S in 'Ducati Red', the Monster 1200 'Black on Black' and finally the Scrambler Icon Dark. The company also presented three new ebikes by the Borgo Panigale company in collaboration with Thok: the exclusive MIG-RR Limited Edition, the MIG-S and the E-Scrambler.
