2027 Ducati Streetfighter v4 S 100: BOLD. GOLD. SOLD.
Introducing the new 2027 Ducati Streetfighter v4 S 100…
Streetfighter V4 S 100 reinterprets the Fight Formula of Ducati naked bikes with the black and gold elegance of the 1979 900 SD Darmah, blending the performance of the modern Streetfigher V4 with the racing spirit of an iconic age.
Streetfighter V4 S 100
Streetfighter V4 S 100 stems from the latest generation Streetfighter V4: the ultimate expression of the Fight Formula applied to the best ever Panigale. Its character is defined by a balance of power, control and precision, designed to ensure an engaging, high-octane riding experience. With this special edition, Streetfighter V4 S becomes part of Collezione100, serving as a bridge between contemporary vision and brand heritage.
Ducati Anniversary Bike Inspired From 1963
900 SD Darmah
In 1979 Ducati presented the 900 SD Darmah, complete with ‘SD’ Sport Desmo acronym, at a time when the racing world prioritised bold graphics that made teams and vehicles instantly recognisable. Colours and liveries served as a common language, a distinctive signature that went beyond the racing. In the Seventies, the black and gold colour combination was everywhere in international motorsport, and it rapidly spread to sports cars and bikes. This aesthetic was at the height of its popularity when Ducati adopted the colours for its 900 SD Darmah. At the time, Italians had a real fascination.
Livery
The Streetfighter V4 S 100 livery makes use of the black and gold palette, one of the most distinctive colour schemes of 1970s motorsport. Black serves as a deep and compact visual base, while gold adds an elegant, bold touch to the graphics and details. Ducati takes up this aesthetic, previously applied to the Supersport and the Darmah, reinterpreting it through a modern lens. The exotic and unmistakable detail of the tiger head is shifted from the side fairing of the 900 SD Darmah to the under-tail of the Streetfighter V4 S 100, its design unchanged and easily recognisable. The logo designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro becomes a distinctive graphic element, a point of convergence between design, heritage and modern interpretation.
Standout details:
01. Billet aluminium steering head and brackets with double riveted plate bearing the bike name and sequential number in Centenary Bronze
02. Front brake callipers in Centenary Bronze
03. 900 SD Darmah tiger head on the under-tail section
04. Dry clutch with carbon cover
A true collector’s edition
Each model is accompanied by:
- Certificate of authenticity
- Machined from billet aluminium fuel cap
- Two numbered and signed multiples of Nespolo’s artworks
- Collezione 100 motorcycle cover
- Custom rear stand
Jacket
An urban aesthetic meets racing attitude with the Streetfighter V4 S 100 jacket, where the contrasting black and gold and tiger icon ensure strong identity. Produced in soft cowhide leather, it incorporates shoulder and elbow protectors and fit-adjustment mechanisms, for a sophisticated balance of functionality and character.
Helmet
The Streetfighter V4 S 100 helmet expresses a distinctive and very refined aesthetic, where the contrasting black and gold of the historic livery is reimagined with bold attitude. Developed around an Arai base, the helmet carefully balances design and performance.
Streetfighter V4 S 100 (Ducati 900 Sport Desmo Darmah – 1979)
The livery of the Streetfighter V4 S 100 is inspired by the graphics of the 1979 900 Sport Desmo Darmah.
In the 1970s and 1980s, black and gold graphics were extremely fashionable in the world of motorsports, and Ducati was no exception. Specifically, it applied this colour scheme to the 900 Sport Desmo Darmah, essentially a Streetfighter before its time.
In Italy, there was also a strong fascination with exotic countries, a fascination that translated, in Borgo Panigale, into purely fictional names like Darmah, or details such as the distinctive tiger head depicted on the side panels of the 900 Sport Desmo Darmah. The head is a highly distinctive graphic element, also echoed in the undertail of the Streetfighter V4 Collezione 100 and in the matching helmet and jacket.
The Streetfighter V4 S 100 is enhanced by an Alcantara seat with embroidered Ducati 100 logo, a rear mudguard, engine cover, and exhaust in premium carbon fibre, a dry clutch and the name and serial number on a distinctive Centenary Bronze plate on the billet aluminium triple clamp. The standard equipment includes mirror and license plate removal kits, an open clutch cover and a Centenary Bronze billet aluminium fuel cap crown, all designed for track use.
2027 Ducati Streetfighter v4 S 100 Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features
Contemporary Legends
Ten models, 100 units of each worldwide. Bike liveries that have written Ducati history meet modern design and technology, for an edition that celebrates the centenary.
A collector’s edition
The exclusivity of this series goes beyond the appeal of historically inspired liveries.

A legacy transformed into vision: the visual rendering of Ugo Nespolo
Where art meets speed
Ugo Nespolo, a leading figure in Italian art over the past 50 years, is entrusted with the visual interpretation of Collezione100, his creative eye transforming this commemorative project into a nuanced dialogue between motorcycling, historical identity, and figurative art.
Designed for collectors
For each bike, Ugo Nespolo created two original works: one dedicated to the historic model of inspiration, the other to its contemporary interpretation. These unique artworks will become part of the Ducati Corporate Collection.
The works give rise to numbered editions, bearing the same sequential number as the bike and signed by the artist, which will be delivered along with each Collezione100 bike, heightening their value as a collector’s item.
- Ten significant moments in Ducati’s history have inspired ten unique motorcycles, produced in a numbered series limited to just one hundred units each
- Technology, design, art: each motorcycle features unique components which, together with its livery, make it a one-of-a-kind icon, accompanied by two works of art
- Owners of each model will be able to complete the “Collezione 100” experience with a helmet and jacket in the same livery as the motorcycle
- The two DesmosediciGP bikes of the Ducati Lenovo team will race with a special livery that combines those of the Collezione 100 into a single design.
The Mugello circuit, where the Desmosedici MotoGP bikes have written numerous unforgettable pages in Ducati’s racing history, is the setting for the presentation of the Collezione 100. Ten liveries, ten numbered editions, all strictly limited to just 100 units each. True contemporary icons created to mark the centenary of the Borgo Panigale-based manufacturer.
Each model is made unique by a special specification: a livery inspired by an iconic motorcycle from Ducati’s history, Alcantara or leather seats with an embroidered Ducati logo, and premium technical details such as Centenario Bronze brake calipers. This colour is exclusive to this collection and is also used for the fuel cap crown, and for the plate bearing the model number riveted onto the steering head or the billeted triple clamps. Various mechanical components on each bike feature an exclusive colour scheme that complements the historic livery. The dry clutch, a first for V2 models*, completes the authenticity of this historic collection.
Each bike comes with a dedicated rear stand, finished in the same colours as the livery, a bike cover and a certificate of authenticity. And of course, as with all Ducati collector’s bikes, the experience of getting on the bike is made even more special by the dashboard featuring a dedicated ignition ceremony. Each owner of the Collezione 100 Collection can complete their look with a helmet and a technical jacket in a limited edition, characterized by a colour scheme that reflects that of the motorbike.**
The Collezione 100 represents yet another link between Ducati and the art world. Ugo Nespolo, a leading figure in Italian art of the late 20th century and a passionate Ducati enthusiast, has enthusiastically joined this project. Each model in the 100 Collection will be accompanied by a pair of numbered art prints bearing the same serial number as the motorcycle and signed by Nespolo himself, who has interpreted every model in the 100 Collection and the historic motorcycle that inspired its livery in his own unmistakable, colourful and dynamic style.
The result is a collection of true gems: unique, unmistakable and full of character.
The presentation took place on the legendary straight of the Tuscan circuit where, for the first time in MotoGP history, Ducati staged a vernissage. A veritable art gallery trail, where Nespolo’s works welcomed guests, accompanying them on a journey culminating in the unveiling of the ten motorcycles of the 100 Collection.
During the event, Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia unveiled the Lenovo team’s bikes, featuring a special livery for the Mugello race. The design combines historic Ducati logos with dynamic geometric patterns, bringing together the ten graphics from the 100 Collection bikes on the fairing. The details celebrating the centenary and the dates 1926–2026 feature glitter, evoking the historic 750 Imola Desmo, whilst on the front fairing the modern graphics contrast with an oval number plate and vintage-style font.
Several Ducati partners have drawn inspiration to create products dedicated to the Borgo Panigale manufacturer’s centenary. The Collezione 100 has in fact inspired a series of four rucksacks created by Piquadro, unveiled during the event. Carrera, the official sponsor of the Ducati Lenovo team, has instead presented the Anniversary Edition sunglasses, produced in a numbered series limited to 500 pieces.
The next opportunity for the public to see the Collezione 100 in person will be at World Ducati Week, where they can be admired in a space reserved for all Ducatisti on 3, 4 and 5 July.
Subsequently, the ten motorcycles will embark on a journey that will take them to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a world-class event and a must-attend for car and motorbike enthusiasts. Finally, the 100 Collection will return to Bologna, where it will be proudly displayed in various museums across the region.
