But an engine like that deserves the love and attention of custom bike builders. So we ask the question: is it possible to make the Panigale look good as a naked streetfighter? Here's eight different attempts from designers around the world.  <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-streetfighter/32920/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32907"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-ego-2015-electric-superbike/32907/">Exotic, Italian, Electric: The Energica Ego electric street superbike</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">Loz Blain</a></div> <div class="date">July 10, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-ego-2015-electric-superbike/32907/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-ego-2015-electric-superbike/32907/pictures">13 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-ego-2015-electric-superbike/32907/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034747im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/2015-energica-ego-electric-superbike-11.jpg" title="The 2015 Energica Ego electric superbike" alt="The 2015 Energica Ego electric superbike"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> With major manufacturers still dragging their feet on electric performance bikes, it's up to smaller, independent factories to forge the future of battery-powered motorcycles.

At 100 kW (134 horsepower), 195 Nm (143.8 lb.ft) and 11.7 kWh of battery on board, it'll be a road rocketship capable of an emission-free 240 km/h (149 mph) top speed ... and it looks the part of an exotic Italian sportsbike, too.  <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-ego-2015-electric-superbike/32907/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32842"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ebr-1190sx-streetfighter-buell/32842/">Erik Buell's latest bike: The EBR 1190SX streetfighter</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">Loz Blain</a></div> <div class="date">July 6, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ebr-1190sx-streetfighter-buell/32842/#comments">5 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ebr-1190sx-streetfighter-buell/32842/pictures">18 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ebr-1190sx-streetfighter-buell/32842/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034747im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/ebr-1190sx-streetfighter-buell.jpg" title="No compromises - the EBR 1190SX is the definition of a streetfighter: a superbike with its..." alt="No compromises - the EBR 1190SX is the definition of a streetfighter: a superbike with its..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Full specifications, pricing and photos have arrived for Erik Buell's newest streetbike – the EBR 1190SX streetfighter.

It looks absolutely stunning, and it can be specified as anything from a cruiser, to a nakedbike, to a fully faired supersports machine – and altered endlessly after purchase. A fascinating concept, and the execution looks peerless.  <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ariel-ace-bespoke-motorcycle/32733/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32613"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/harley-davidson-project-livewire-electric-motorbike/32613/">Meet Project LiveWire: Harley Davidson's first-ever electric motorbike</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/author/stu-robarts/">Stu Robarts</a></div> <div class="date">June 19, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/harley-davidson-project-livewire-electric-motorbike/32613/#comments">29 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/harley-davidson-project-livewire-electric-motorbike/32613/pictures">11 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/harley-davidson-project-livewire-electric-motorbike/32613/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034747im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/harley-davidson-project-livewire.jpg" title="The Project LiveWire electric Harley Davidson " alt="The Project LiveWire electric Harley Davidson "/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Harley-Davidson is a brand so iconic as to be known worldwide, and by people with little or no interest in motorbikes.

But it looks like the days of the air-cooled Monster might be numbered. Ducati today revealed photos and specs for its upcoming 821 middleweight, which seems ready to come in and replace the air-cooled 796. With 112 horses, 65.9 lb-ft and weighing just 395.7 lbs dry, the 821 looks like a great streetbike for those who believe maximum fun is found at the throttle stop.  <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-monster-821/32302/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="32239"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-concept-roadster/32239/">Awesome BMW Concept Roadster unveiled at Concours</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">Loz Blain</a></div> <div class="date">May 25, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-concept-roadster/32239/pictures">55 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-concept-roadster/32239/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034747im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bmw-concept-roadster.jpg" title="BMW Concept Roadster: Another outstanding visual statement from Bavaria" alt="BMW Concept Roadster: Another outstanding visual statement from Bavaria"/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> BMW chose this year's Concours d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy for the unveiling of its latest boxer concept – and like the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140712034747/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-concept-ninety-r90s-tribute/27660/" target="_blank">R Ninety</a> before it, this one is a beauty.

No motorcycle needs to make 200 horsepower, with as much torque as a Hyundai iMax people mover. These are figures of absolute excess – and that's the point. The Lightning LS-218 will be a truly, horrifyingly fast motorcycle, the fastest on the planet, at least straight out of the crate. And it's set for release this summer in America.
