2008 S4RS Tricolore vs 2007 S4RS

Or maybe because they only made 400 of them?

Ducati only made 200 of my bike, only released it in north america and for only one year.  That doesn't make it worth more now.

Either one a great Monster.

W, a Full Termi Exhaust , DP ECU and open Air box you should come close to 130 RWHP on either bike.

Go w, the one that speaks to you.

That sounds about right. My 2005 999 has the full 57mm Termi system and DP ecu and AMS dyno'd it at 130 and change. Maybe 130.2, something like that. The motor should be the same as the S4RS.

Go with the one you can't stop thinking about.

It does to some people. Which bike, BTW?

Okay, I see your point. A run of the mill M750 isn't all that interesting. But an S4RS is sort of rare in and of itself, but coupled with the number plate. I dunno. Maybe you're right - maybe 5 years from now an S4RS will be the same price as the TC. I guess only time will tell.

get the red the tricolor is ugly.

Where can one find out production numbers for Ducati's?  Id like to know how many 2001 M900 Cromos were produced/imported.

+1 on the TC being ug.

Somebody finally said it. I was being nice.

I dig the dusty gold wheels/frame on the TC though. IMO, one of them would look totally kickass with the bodywork repainted red. Sorta the feel of certain '60s competition Ferraris with the Campy wheels.

nothing different with the tri but paint.   If the limited paint tickles your fancy great.  I wouldn't expect higher resale down the road for a special paint run though.

take a look at the tri up close...the paint on the tail and tank are different.   That bugs some people a lot.


also...look at both of their tanks carefully.   Check the clearance between the front of the tank and the ignition housing.  also look at the rubber frame bumbers under the tank.   Then read the expanding tank thread stickied up top in this forum.

then buy one and ride the snot out of it.

I will have to agree.  I was never that fond of the tricolore color scheme and then one came along my way and i wanted to have one of the last original monsters.  I saw the possibilities and purchased one - then the mods began and it has turned out far better than i could have imagined.  These modifications have turned it into a bike that i am proud of and receive so many compliments on the road and at the dealerships.  I could not have done it without my friend Roland at Motovations who got me all the Rizoma and Brembo accessories and the Riding House carbon.  In addition to these mods are the following:
14 tooth front sprocket
Vizitec tail light

Rizoma Sprocket Cover                          

Your list is wrong.  That's a speedymoto sprocket cover. 

[Uncle Curly]

Good catch - originally had the Rizoma sproket cover then changed to Speedy Moto - now it is back to Rizoma. the Rizoma looks better and more tied in with the rest of the bike.  Anyone in the market for a gold Speedy Moto sproket cover?

So far as I know, no changes of significance have been made since the first early release 2006 model.

I see the "impressive" list of modifications made and think if is doesn't make it stop or go it's not worth the effort, much less the money.

Mine's pretty much stock, almost, and the changes make it stop and go better.

35,000 trouble free miles so far.  I'm riding it until I, or it quits.

It literally seems to run better each time I fire it up.  Best scoot I've ever been on.
