Title: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 25, 2011, 01:48:01 PM 2007 Pearl White S4RS w/ full Termis and ECU. 11k miles, fully serviced and new tires 25 miles ago.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/USCAAAA/MONSTERS4RS.jpg) I found the owner through the local dealer, GP Motorcycles in San Diego. Was going to be put on consignment but dealer gave me first shot at it as I've been looking for this exact bike for a while. Two weeks ago I met the owner and took a ride and fell in love! The problem was....when the owner took it out of the garage and rode it for a day or two, he had second thoughts and took it off the market ???. I started looking for other options, but for the same price I was only finding bone stock S2R800's and 1000's for $more! Dejected, I called the owner again and made him a slightly higher offer ($500), and he took it! I think it's still a smokin' deal for what I'm getting and I'm beyond pumped. I have to wait until Tuesday when he's off work to do the deal, but I have his word that it's as good as mine. More pics to follow!

[clap] I guess it doesn't need to be mentioned but... have fun on it! [thumbsup] [Dolph]
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: rideserotta on June 25, 2011, 02:44:20 PM THAT is in beautiful bike. First mod... rip those fork reflectors off!
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 25, 2011, 02:52:58 PM Indeed, and choppy chop the tail.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: justinrhenry on June 25, 2011, 03:08:51 PM my vote: keep the reflectors and the tail.
great looking bike. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: rideserotta on June 25, 2011, 03:45:15 PM I've heard of liking the tail but NEVER the reflectors... [puke]
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: justinrhenry on June 25, 2011, 04:00:45 PM they're functional. i ride my bike night and day, rain or shine, so both of those items are nice to have.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 25, 2011, 04:09:37 PM If you've ever seen a bike go by at night that DOESN'T have reflectors, you would likely be an advocate for having them. I don't ever ride at night really and I'm definitely going to do wheel stripes to help with side visibility.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: He Man on June 25, 2011, 04:31:03 PM nice bike! they make reflective black tape. I have cut little strips off and taped them to some palces where you cant even tell. like the airbox, inside teh frame, wraped around a slider, on the fork. etc.
just a little 1" strip adds up if u put them in 3 or 4 locations. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: Queestce on June 25, 2011, 04:50:58 PM Ohhhhhh shit yea! That's sexual for sure mate. Great colour scheme.
Enjoy it! (Like it would be possible not to!!) Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: rideserotta on June 25, 2011, 05:53:13 PM I ride day/night, rain/shine, cold/hot, 12 months out of the year. It's my only mode of transportation. Red reflective wheel tape and strategically placed reflective black tape does a better job than the fork reflectors and looks WAY better IMO. But I realize everyone has different tastes. To each his own... long as you're ridin', right? [Dolph]

i was hanging out with a guy that has the same bike with the same colors... gorgeous in person. i love the white bike/red frame look... the only ones that i might like more is the senna grey/red combo. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: LayneK on June 25, 2011, 09:07:09 PM Nice lookin bike! I got my '07 S4R last November, enjoy!

beautiful bike always loved that colour combo.

Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: $Lindz$ on June 26, 2011, 07:22:31 PM Congrats dude! I'm glad everything worked out. Like I was saying to you before, I would take my S4RS over my S2R1k any time! Good choice!
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: CDawg on June 28, 2011, 01:33:55 PM Congrats! You'll be very happy! I love my S4RS.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: CDawg on June 28, 2011, 01:35:02 PM nice bike! they make reflective black tape. I have cut little strips off and taped them to some palces where you cant even tell. like the airbox, inside teh frame, wraped around a slider, on the fork. etc. just a little 1" strip adds up if u put them in 3 or 4 locations. That's a great idea! I'll have to pick up some! Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS Post by: LA on June 28, 2011, 04:22:44 PM You will love the bike. I hope I didn't jinx myself today when I noted at 37,500 mi. mine has never missed a beat.
I haven't done much to mine except raise the rear 1" and put a 14 tooth front sprocket on and some brake tech rotors when mine warped. The 14 tooth is good for 62 mph at 4000 rpm in 6th and NO shifting required to accelerate with authority from that speed. If the db killers are in I'd take em out. Makes an extra over 10 lb.ft. of torque down low with them out. You can bump around and make no notice or hit the loud handle and ride a short shiftin' hooligan's dream. And by the way, I think the tail and reflectors look fine too. Enjoy! LA Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 28, 2011, 09:29:48 PM Oh yes, two new wheels, 8 valves, and 400 pounds of fun in the garage. I am beyond pumped! ;D. Super easy transaction at GP Motorcycles in San Diego, Josh really helped move it along considering the PO had it financed, and his buddy was on the title, weird... Tommy the head tech even drove it on his truck 30 minutes to my house because I couldn't get a ride down there.
Small issue, the tank is veeeeery badly warped. The PO had no idea that there were warranty options so had ignored it. GP has already started the claim for me and I'll have a new tank soon hopefully. Good thing because there are some zipper scratches and key knicks. I'm grinning from ear to ear and can guarantee I'm going to be late to work tomorrow [Dolph] Are you kidding me? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/USCAAAA/IMG_2336.jpg) Nooooow I know why people put these in their living rooms! Anyone in So. Cal. want to ride on Saturday?!? Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: S4ROB on June 28, 2011, 09:48:33 PM Nice!! Now you'll have to find a place to park it at Laguna Saca next month ;D
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: red baron on June 29, 2011, 05:59:16 AM Anyone in So. Cal. want to ride on Saturday?!? Cmon up to North County and well ride out toJulian or Palomar. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 29, 2011, 06:46:06 AM Cmon up to North County and well ride out toJulian or Palomar.

I can say this is also my favorite color scheme ;-)
(http://i52.tinypic.com/2d0x5xi.jpg) Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: arai_speed on June 29, 2011, 09:32:35 AM Here is a list of a few "mods" that I would recommend:
1) Radiator cover: http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/7652/Accessories/7652.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/7652/Accessories/7652.html) 2) Oil Cooler cover: http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/7653/Accessories/7653.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/7653/Accessories/7653.html) 3) Grippy footpegs: http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/FPR0022/Controls/FPR0022.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/FPR0022/Controls/FPR0022.html) Is the tip of the brake lever broken? You can get a replacement for less then $30 bucks. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on June 29, 2011, 10:13:36 AM Great suggestions. I'm thinking integrated tail light also. The lever tip is broken, but the PO is mailing me a set of gold anodized CRG folding levers that he has. If for some reason he flakes, I'll pick up a replacement soon. It's a bit hard to get the finesse with only half a lever there.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: arai_speed on June 29, 2011, 11:23:49 AM Cool - that should go nice if you also do a tail chop.
Not sure if your bike has one but you can also get a clutch slave cylinder: http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/CLU0116/Clutch-Brakes/CLU0116.html (http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/CLU0116/Clutch-Brakes/CLU0116.html) I have one on my bike (Oberon) and it does decrease the amount of lever pull - this is very useful during rush hour traffic. Lastly, lots of people drop down to a 14T sprocket (I'm one of them) this makes the bike more peppy around town at the expense of a few MPH up on top. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: SDRider on June 29, 2011, 02:28:42 PM Congrats! I'm in San Diego too and just picked up a 2012 Monster 1100 EVO last weekend.
We should get a bunch of us together for a Ducati meetup! Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on July 03, 2011, 10:54:23 AM What a gorgeous day for a ride here in So. Cal. Put a few hundred miles in and am just loving it.

Mine came with a carbon fiber beer tray that is actually kinda nice looking. I was going to chop it like my last two, but I have grown to like the look. No links to it - but the stock part is UGLY! A tip to clean the white rims - WD40. Splash some on a rag and all the junk will wipe right off. Do it before you wash it and then wash with your normal car soap and rinse it off. Makes it really easy. I had a few FZRs back in the day with white rims. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: fastwin on July 04, 2011, 03:34:59 PM Using some of the Honda brand spray polish after they're clean also makes the next clean up a little easier.
Nice pics by the way! Glad you celebrated the 4th with a ride. Too hot here to do anything outside. I'm waiting for October. ;D Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on July 05, 2011, 09:24:56 AM Yeah, those wheels are tricky to clean, especially the fronts behind those huge Brembos! I've had good luck with Simple Green and a long-handled dish brush.
I can't wait to get rid of the beer tray and the huge turn signals. I'm definitely doing the Motodynamics integrated tail light but not sure about the chop yet. Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: fastwin on July 05, 2011, 10:43:08 AM Never was a chop fan. Obviously many are. I have the shorty carbon tray with an Evoluzione plate holder. Cleaned up the rear end nicely for me. Plus I still have a nice place to set my beer when messing with the bike! ;D
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: $Lindz$ on July 05, 2011, 01:53:39 PM CHOP THAT SHITTTT!!!!!!
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: strat10 on July 05, 2011, 02:56:29 PM Yeah, Chop it!
(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-bQ1IR3AjS44/S_nuomG5JdI/AAAAAAAADew/Jqzf-CSxZYQ/s640/DSC_0530.jpg) Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: Eddie_322 on July 05, 2011, 04:18:18 PM If you chop it, you have to shorten the cans. Looks odd when they stick out past the rear of the bike. Knock 3" off of them and it transforms the look of the chopped bike.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: $Lindz$ on July 05, 2011, 06:26:24 PM Probably a bit more than most people would chop, but this is what I did:

Which tail chop did you use? Separate mounts for the signals? Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: $Lindz$ on July 05, 2011, 09:01:49 PM The signals mount to the bracket for the light. I don't know the brand, I bought the bike with it already done. It's real sweet though.
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: Hellraising-vtec on July 10, 2011, 11:54:48 AM looks great
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: muskrat on July 10, 2011, 11:56:53 AM or if you go with under tail exhaust

Tidied up the tail a bit. There was a metal reflector hanger that came below the license plate. I did a bit of creative bending and flipped it upside down and viola, free tail tidy.

Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: OneWheelDrive on July 11, 2011, 11:18:22 PM Good news from Speedymoto today. Although they can't send me a brand new clutch pressure plate, they are letting me send back this one for new anodizing. Let's just say "Ducati Pink" didn't really match the color scheme. Problem is I don't have the stock plate, so they're sending me a loaner stocker until I get the billet one back ;D. Hooray customer service!
Title: Re: He accepted my offer! 2007 S4RS NEW PICS Post by: Billyzoom on July 19, 2011, 06:07:11 PM I've got a 07 S4Rs too....you got a pretty color scheme....I love it.
I'm in the Inland Empire but if some folks want to meet up I'm down....maybe a ride over Ortega Highway to OC, head to Cook's Corner and invade the Harley's.... Joel |
