Title: I got my dream Monster!
Post by: dark_duc on March 05, 2015, 05:42:03 PM
Added this little beauty to the stable this past weekend.  2008 S4RS Tricolore.  A big thanks to Jeff at Monster Parts for calming my worries before making the 500 mile trek to Boise.   [beer]

The garage is starting to get a bit crowded.  Looks like my red one has to go.  Sure will miss her (my first street bike)

Congrats! Great looking bike.

How many miles?

And what's going on with the exhaust? You usually don't see and udder less s4/s4rs with stock cans. Has it been been tuned? Do you know what mid pipe that is?

Looks like the QuatD midpipe.

I replaced the udder on my tricolore with a decat pipe from Spark, a quality bit of kit and perfect fit... [

It has 28K miles on it.  I was a bit concerned about the Testastretta engine life but was assured by my local dealer that I would be fine as long as it was properly maintained.  This guy was the original owner and had it meticulously maintained by Erico in Denver.  I was very impressed with his service records.  He had every receipt down to every quart of oil.  There are a couple cosmetic issues mostly with faded or flaking CF bits (that's why you don't see the exhaust shield in the pic) but I will either re-clear or replace as needed.

It has the DP ECU & DP airfilter.  Once the bike got to Boise Monster Parts installed frame sliders and the mid pipe.  I'm not sure the brand but I will check the records later and see if it says.  All in all, I think I stole this bike for $6500.

Thanks everyone!  I was able to get it out of city limits today and let it stretch it legs.  WOW.  Whole different monster than I am used to!  My FJR 1300 has similar HP but does not come close to the torque that this thing has!  What an absolute hoot to ride!  My wife asked how I liked  it and I told her "It pulls nice from 4,000 - 7,000, things get really interesting from 7,000 - 9,000, and 9,000 - 11,000 is downright scary!"  Oh how much fun we are gonna have!   [Dolph]
