As you will see from my signature below, I own an '08 S4Rs Tricolore.  The bike is marked as 269 of 400. Supposedly only 400 of this model were imported and sold in the US, or maybe it was North America.

Returning from an early Sunday morning breakfast ride, I wondered how many of the 400 are still on the road. I would be surprised if Ducati knows, but the membership of this forum may have some anecdotal information about the number of these bikes that have been lost to the usual causes of attrition, wrecks and theft for parts, etc.

If you know of any of the 400 that are actually gone, post a message and tell me about it.  And how many do you think are left after two years, 350. 375. 395 Huh?

My guess is that there are some in garages that are not being riden. And most likely only 10 to 20 that are out of service. Ever now and then 1 shows up on e-bay with next to no miles. I think people are trying to use them as an investment.

Yeah he has two S4Rs' in pearl white, not the tricolore.  Not sure if he still has both.
I can't remember what else he bought.

One of the nice things about posting on this forum is hearing from old friends. However, I had failed to pick up on what has happened to DoubleEagle and was very unhappy to learn about his serious injuries.  Like you, I pray for a quick and complete recovery.

His accident is a good example of the attrition that our special machines routinely suffer. The bad part is that attrition happens to riders also.

I'm looking forward to hearing from Geoffduc to learn all about his trip to Italy.  Meanwhile, God Bless the Queen!  How's that, Geoff?
