It's in Hawaii.. anyone from here?
It's not any of the regular group. That bike is down on the Big Island. We all laugh at him. BTW, the 24K is the lowered price. How's that?
yep, that ad's been floatin' around for a good while [laugh]
iirc, he said he's got two sets of tins?

Have not seen it in person but could go check it out if someone needed me to.

Yeah, that's been on Craigslist for a while. I am surprised that it hasn't sold! [roll] [roll] [roll]

Bradah, we're in the middle of dakine...the pacific ocean......... ;D
shipping just to SF is around $1300. You can't see and ride the bike in person.
Not many guys here in the market for a $24000 bike. Harleys reign
supreme lamely here...
I know of maybe 3 other guys that have Ducatis on island.
Only factory service is in Honolulu.......
LOTS of people have lost jobs here and many are moving to mainland because of it.
on the other hand......maybe it's not a good deal/bike.
I doubt that ad is even legit. Unrealistic pricing and elementary mistakes (like calling a black S4Rs a Tricolore) are sure signs of scammers.

He said in his ad, all the original plastics are in storage.
It might be painted or different plastics (crashed?). The frame and wheels are gold like the tricolore. Looks like it also has rizoma grips, rizoma rearsets, rizoma reservoirs, rizoma sprocket cover, zard exhaust... Not worth 24k though

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the only '08 S4Rs a tricolore?

He also said it's #39 of 400.

Still..a nice bike..no?

Yes, no argument there.
Ducati Bev Hills had, and possibly still has, the S4Rs that was used in a Christina Agulara video, originally a tricolore, now matte black, includes the original tank & cowl, if I remember right, CF Termi's, all at original MSRP.
So let me make sure I have this right.
Step 1. Buy a new S4RS
Step 2. Bolt on a few mods like exhaust, rearsets, clutch cover, reservoirs, grips, and barend mirrors.
Step 3. List it for sale for $10K MORE than I paid for it and get laughed at continuously.
Does that sound about right?

One could just update the snot out of it, and sell the bike for the cost of the mods. ;)
the only market he really has is on the island.
i would pay about 12 shipped for that bike with the plastics.
all he has to do is cut the price in half.....it will sell.

Valid point; even more so when you figure in that the one and only Ducati dealer down here likes to add a "market value fee" of at least two to three thousand on top of MSRP on bikes like this...

I know that was directed at me but you have to remember I have ridden my bike. In fact I have just under 10K miles on it in just over a year so I got some use out of it rather than just mdding it and then selling it.
Anyway, I about to throw a bunch more money at it so I'm pretty sure I'm just going to keep it.

Just sayin'-to each their own.
no kiddin', if your name is on the title....do whatever you want. I'm more about adding performance before anything about looks but whatever......
