If the S4RS isn't enough for you, Seacoast has a one-off S4R-R. Personally i'm holding out for the S4R-RS Type R (Spec V), but check it out ;D

I can't figure out where the 23K went? Stock footpegs so no adjustability. Stock bars so no adjustability. So pressure plate and cover, a steering damper and a few carbon goodies? For 8K?
And it's pretty lame for anyone to call a bike an aftermarket R model with just a Termi kit and no internal motor work.
Sorry...I'm usually the last to comment negatively on pricey bikes, but having put about that much money into an RS I can tell you guys that for this much money you should have a rather light bike that fits you exactly and has a lot more done to it to change how it rides than this one.

Sorry but +1. I think I could do a lot more with a stock bike and 8k. It's some bolt on stuff and a paint job.... and not an overly impressive one at that.
+2 Yawn. [coffee]

+1 there ought to be a law against it.
+11ty Billion Agreed.
As I started reading the description my mind flashed back to the bike that dealer put together that won the Monster challenge - had it on ebay for 25-30K if I recall.
Obvious difference being that bike was overhauled from top to bottom as opposed to the few bolt on mods of this bike.
I have no problem with bolt-on goodies either. One thing I like about the monster is the huge aftermarket of easy things to do. Can change the riding position, the exhaust, etc.etc.
My bike is an example of bolt-on things that have big effects.
But as is they are missing many thousands of dollars of goodies for that price...even at retail for the aftermarket stuff. That's what I don't get...and it's not like Monsters are the gt500 of the bike world that can get away with 'market adjustment' added to the price.
I'd like to see an itemized list on this tricolor.
LOL. I wasn't intending to start a bolt on mod thread. Most of mine are too and like you it's what I love about the Monster "platform".
What I intended to contrast was the engine work, boring, suspension mods, etc of the previous dealers bike to this one with a termi kit, carbon tail, clutch plate, clutch cover, damper and paint job for a similarly high priced bike.
Hell what they've done to the bike is what most who buy one would do first as well. Myself included. We're just more realistic about selling our modded beasts knowing when we build them we'll never recoup those costs.
Forget the price, how can they call this bike a "1 of 1" with just some bolt ons? That's like me trying to sell my bike and call it a "1 of 1" because of the changes I've made....

I was actually joking around about this with a friend ... Making little brass plaques for people's triples for their bikes "001 of 001" ;D

Have you seen the Ducati 848R yet ?
Ultimate MotorCycling has a write up on one that Ducati of North America has put out as an ultimate gift for Christmas.
" It's $39,980
It's got 134 hp, innovative crankcase. MOTOGP elliptical throttle bodies, larger bore and stroke ratio more like a 1098.
Weighs 370 pounds . Doesn't say wet/dry ?
A competition -quality exhaust , a new rear subframe, Magnesium wheels, CF front fender, heels guards, and tail section ; billet gas cap, rearsets, and brake and clutch levers, Termi exhaust, and Ohlins suspension. "
Quote from John Paolo Canton , Ducati USA
No mention of TC or CF Belly pan like the 1098 R.
" This bike is for the rider who realizes the 1098 is just for bragging rights. The 848R is a street-able bike that delivers enormous pleasure and solid performance on the road and at the track." said John.
What do you think of that one ? Dolph ducatiusa.com ultimatemotorcycling.com
That one sounds hot..... and out of my price range.... :-\
Looks like it started life as a tri-color. Then tank and cowl painted red
termis and ecu $2,000
asorted bolt on bits $2,000
paint job $1,000
dealer gets $3,000
=====================
$8,000
BTW anyone know where to get the red hose pieces
Red hose pieces, look in the ducati accessories catalogue, part no 96449006B [thumbsup] [thumbsup]

All prices MSRP from Duc Catalog. Obviously being a dealer this is not what they actually put into it.
Termi kit 2643 50mm full system 1615 cans, air filter and diff ecu.
Short tail 415
Rear Hugger 249
Steering Damper 687
Speedymoto pressure plate 224
"Custom" open clutch cover 200
DP Silic. hose kit 200
Total with standard termi upgrade 3590
Total with racing 50mm termi full system 4618
Paint job, Dealer profit, etc .... yawn, I don't know anyone who'd not negotiate most of that away on a new bike and on a used one it wouldn't factor at all.
For the extra 8k they're asking I could do the same mods plus carbon wheels, rear sets and a bunch of other bits.
My best offer would be 19000 OTD with the full system or 18000 OTD with the silencer kit.
As far as the hose kit

available red or blue for 199 MSRP.

Agreed, but remember the dealers have a lot more overhead, and they have to eat a meal once in a while ;D. (I am not a dealer but do own my own business [not motorcycle related])
I sent them an email. It read:
$23,000? ROFLMFAO!!!
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
Isn't it a little early for them to be that heavy into the Eggnog? [laugh]

No thank you, I like to do my own modding [thumbsup]
Thats ridiculous but i think i am following their logic now. Whats the MSRP on a tricolore? I think they are counting the addons from that base price. WHich is ridiculous because its not even a tricolore anymore!
yeah......... puff puff pass at that price. I thought the tricolore was overpriced to begin with.
For that price can anyone say 1198S!?!?!?! [moto]

There is no way that guy is gonna get 18k let alone 23k for that thing. I could see someone paying 15 for it if they had money burning hole in their pocket.

Yes, yes it was.
Dr. D and I actually saw that bike in person at the Seacoast open house two weeks ago. It isn't that impressive. I looked at it for about 30 seconds and I was already bored.
I don't think anyone else was that impressed with it either considering it was on display all night and no one really even looked at it at all. [roll]

OK, it says "Beverly Hills" above "Ducati" and that makes it a special edition? [roll]
Umm, also he has only ridden it 5 times, he's the only owner and it has 16,500 miles?
How does a 2001 with 16000 miles still have the factory warranty?
And last I checked, the bike came with Brembo brakes, so how is that an added "High End" item?
What a douche
