Ducati Streetfighter V4 — Overview

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is a super bike available at a price range of Rs. 28,68,600 - Rs. 32,38,400 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 1 colour. It is powered by a 1103 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a ARAI mileage of 13.15 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Ducati Streetfighter V4 comes with anti-locking braking system. The Streetfighter V4 bike weighs 201 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 16 liters. It develops a power output of 205 bhp and a torque of 123 Nm.

The engine inside the Ducati Streetfighter V4 is the Desmosedici Stradale - the road-legal version of the V4 motor that powers Ducati's MotoGP machines. At 214 PS from 1,103cc, it is the most powerful naked motorcycle you can buy in India right now, and it starts at Rs 28.69 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2026 model, launched on October 31, 2025, brings 6 extra horsepower over the outgoing version, Euro 5+ compliance, a redesigned double-sided swingarm, and the Race eCBS system - which automatically applies rear brake pressure when you grab the front lever hard. Two variants: the standard V4 with Showa and Sachs suspension at Rs 28.69 lakh, and the V4 S at Rs 32.38 lakh with Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 electronically adjustable suspension at both ends, forged aluminium wheels, and a lithium-ion battery that saves 2 kg. If you want superbike performance with an upright riding position - and you can justify the price - nothing in India touches it.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Latest Updates

View all

  • Ducati India announced a price correction effective June 1, 2026, across select models in its lineup, citing rising operational costs driven by inflation and commodity prices; the Streetfighter V4 may be among the affected models, with exact revised pricing to be confirmed by authorised dealerships closer to the date.

What We Like

  • 214 PS Desmosedici Stradale V4 is the same engine lineage as Ducati's MotoGP machinery - superbike pace in a naked motorcycle that you can actually see where you're going
  • Race eCBS, cornering ABS, launch control, and wheelie control make it safer to exploit than you'd expect - electronics are class-leading and genuinely useful on Indian roads
  • New 2026 ergonomic updates (closer handlebar, revised footpegs) make the V4 far more comfortable for longer rides than the outgoing model - it's a big improvement
  • Brembo Hypure 4-piston calipers on 330mm discs deliver the best stopping power on any road motorcycle in India at this price point - trackday-ready from the factory

What Could Be Better

  • 845 mm seat height and 191 kg means slow-speed city riding demands real concentration - this is not a bike you relax on in Bangalore traffic
  • 13.15 kmpl ARAI (expect 10-12 kmpl in city riding) and a 16L tank means you'll be stopping for fuel every 160-190 km in urban conditions
  • Rs 28.69 lakh entry price and Desmo valve service every 24,000 km at Rs 40,000-50,000 make this one of the most expensive motorcycles to buy and own in India

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Ducati Streetfighter V4?

The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is the closest thing India has to a road-legal MotoGP machine - 214 PS, Brembo brakes, Öhlins optional, and electronics that make the power accessible rather than terrifying. It is emphatically not a daily commuter, it is expensive to own, and it will challenge you in traffic. But if you ride highways, attend track days, or simply want the best naked motorcycle money can buy in India, nothing else competes at this level.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of Ducati Streetfighter V4 in India?▾
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 starts at Rs 28,68,600 (ex-showroom) for the standard variant and Rs 32,38,400 for the V4 S. On-road prices vary by city - Delhi is approximately Rs 32.15 lakh and Mumbai is approximately Rs 35.59 lakh for the standard V4, with state RTO and insurance accounting for the difference.
QWhat is the difference between Ducati Streetfighter V4 and V4 S?▾
The V4 S costs Rs 3,69,800 more and upgrades three things: suspension (Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 electronically adjustable at both ends, replacing Showa/Sachs), wheels (forged aluminium instead of cast), and battery (lithium-ion instead of lead-acid). The result is a 2 kg weight saving - 189 kg vs 191 kg. Engine, electronics, brakes, and tyres are identical on both variants.
QWhat is the mileage of Ducati Streetfighter V4?▾
The ARAI-rated mileage of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 is 13.15 kmpl. In real-world Indian city riding, expect 10-12 kmpl. On a free-flowing highway at legal speeds, 15-17 kmpl is achievable. The 16L fuel tank gives approximately 190-200 km of mixed-use range before refuelling.
QWhat are the on-road charges for Ducati Streetfighter V4 in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
In Delhi, the on-road price of the Ducati Streetfighter V4 standard is approximately Rs 32,15,064 - road tax is lower in Delhi compared to other metros. In Mumbai, the same variant costs approximately Rs 35,59,296 on-road because Maharashtra applies a higher RTO rate on premium motorcycles. Bangalore (Rs 35.02L) is similarly high due to Karnataka's slab-based RTO.
QWhat is the EMI for the Ducati Streetfighter V4?▾
With a 20% down payment (Rs 5.74 lakh) on the base variant (ex-showroom Rs 28.69 lakh) and a 36-month tenure at 9% interest, the monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs 73,000. Opting for a longer 48-month tenure reduces the EMI to approximately Rs 57,000 but increases total interest paid. Most Ducati authorised finance partners offer tailored schemes - compare total cost, not just monthly EMI.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for the Ducati Streetfighter V4?▾
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 requires an oil service every 15,000 km or 12 months, costing approximately Rs 15,000-20,000 at an authorised Ducati service centre. The Desmosedici engine still uses Desmodromic valve actuation - the valve clearance service is required every 24,000 km and costs Rs 40,000-50,000. Ducati has authorised service centres in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, and Kolkata.
QHow does the Ducati Streetfighter V4 compare to the BMW S 1000 R?▾
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 makes 214 PS versus the BMW S 1000 R's 165 PS - a significant power gap - and is priced at Rs 28.69 lakh versus approximately Rs 21.75 lakh for the BMW. The S 1000 R is lighter and returns better mileage, making it the more practical everyday naked. The Streetfighter V4 counters with the Race eCBS electronics suite, Brembo Hypure calipers, and the sheer visceral experience of the Desmosedici V4 engine.
QIs the Ducati Streetfighter V4 suitable for daily commuting in India?▾
The Streetfighter V4 can be used daily but it demands compromise. The 845 mm seat height and 191 kg kerb weight require physical effort in stop-and-go traffic. Engine heat at standstill in Indian summers is significant, and 10-12 kmpl city mileage means frequent fuel stops. Urban and Wet modes tame the 214 PS engine for city use, but this motorcycle is best suited to weekend rides, highway runs, and track days - not a 40 km office commute five days a week.
