Officine GP Design Ducati Streetfighter V4

  • Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali said there could be more V4 models on the way.

  • Ducati fans hope a new Streetfighter V4 is among them.

  • In the meantime, Officine GP Design built this Ducati Streetfighter V4.

Raise your hands if you are one of many who miss the Ducati Streetfighter and looking forward to a new one. But here’s the Officine GP Design Ducati Streetfighter V4 while we wait.

The anticipation for a new V4-powered Streetfighter became a storm when Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali said there will be more Ducati V4 models in the future. It’s a news well received because Ducati doesn’t have a true blood naked sportbike, apart from the current Monster 821.

However, Italian design house Officine GP Design went ahead and built their own Streetfighter. They will produce ten of these exquisite bikes. While it was built independently from the manufacturer, it goes to show that the V4 and frame platform have the potential to be turned into other bikes.

Besides the lack of bodywork, the most striking feature are the girder forks in place of the stock Öhlins items. The girder forks are supplied by FG racing and they are machined from solid billet. The Jonich SX wheels add even more drama to the entire package.

The tank and frame aren’t just painted, instead they are covered with a specially made textured copper. The headlight was sourced from a Ducati Diavel. The instrument display is stock but is mounted on a 3D-printed mount.

The leather seat is by Foglizzo with a V4 Penta logo. The bike’s tailsection was also redesigned. Other components are mostly from Rizoma.

Let’s hope Ducati’s V4 naked bike will look as good as this or even better.

He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist.
