Hayden teases new Ducati 848 Streetfighter

There are advantages to being a factory MotoGP rider – like getting early looks at new models.

Ducati star Nicky Hayden proved just this when he spotted the 2012 848 Streetfighter on a visit to the Ducati factory this week.

The new junior supernaked is due to be officially unveiled at the Milan Show in November and, despite this peek at the front end, it looks like we will have to wait until then to see the complete bike.

This follows a spy shot of the motorcycle revealed by MCN on 19th August outside Ducati’s Bologna factory- the full story is available here.
