Semiseriously I'm looking at a S4RS Tricolore.
I never quite warmed up the color scheme though, no offense intended.
Already has full Termi system and a carbon short tail.

The frame will have to stay the same (too expensive to disassemble for paint)(should have been red)

1. Color for tank, cowl and fender? (I'm thinking black, maybe add some frame colored decorations and logos)
2. Wheels? Powder or paint? Which color(s)?

My initial quick mod list - which you are supposed to comment....

Transfer from S2R800:
SpeedyMoto top triple and 50mm Swatt clip ons (are the S4RS tubes the same dimensions as S2R?)
PoorDucRiders (who sells the Matrix carbon stays now?)
CycleCat rearsets
Electraeon fast (short) throttle cam (if it will fit)
Rizoma Impulsive mirrors
Vizi Tec 350
Dual Rivco horns, if I can find a place for them
... and surely some other small bits....

New mods:
DesmoWorld clear headlight glass (ring painted)
Dark screen
Levers
Fluid reservoirs (I like Rizomas)
SpeedyMoto/IMA triple assembly (except upper, which I have)
Oberon black gas cap
Frame sliders
Heavier springs
Black hard anodized fork tubes
Black radiator covers
Riding House belly pan
Fresh tires
Shorten Termis

WHAT?  Give up the awe inspiring power of your 800.  Come on man. 

I never cared too much for the Tri Color paint scheme, but I would grab one in a heartbeat if the opportunity presented itself. 

Were they not limited production?  I would have a hard time justifying a repaint (just my opinion).  Why not look for one of the red framed (grey tank and such) S4R if you like the red frame and want to customize the paint? 

Very nice choices on the future mods.  That would be one kick ass bike, no matter what color you decided upon!

There have been sold very few, if any, red or black S4RS bikes in my country.
Grey/red frame were only S4R (no Öhlins)? But it's a beauitful color combo.

I've seen a couple pearl whites though and I could import a black I suppose.....
Black on red frame?

At this point it's almost a deal breaker that the S4R Termis seem to be hanging lower than on a S2R.
I'll have to look into what MattyVas did with his single Akra.

RED color scheme would go well with that gold'ish color.  [thumbsup]

And yes the Speedy top triple will fit the S4Rs, as should the Swatt's.
The Akra can has been chopped since this shot.
The black you see is just 3M sticker material looking at what I can do with paint.
Also want the lower Speedy Triple.

Happy swapping.
