The 848 motor does not fit on the frame. They have to go back to the Testastretta engine. The SF simply uses the 848/1198 frame, which they will continue to use after the new SBK is released.

This is where I'm going to get blasted. Ducati should never had created the S4. That was a hack job. It sold well because there was a huge market for it. The engine completely kills the looks. Performance wise, you're better going with a Speed Triple, which was designed from the beginning with the motor in mind.

[thumbsdown] Booooooooooo

The S4 was what many thought the Monster should be. That's what *some* people were waiting for from Ducati because they felt that the 2 valvers were too underpowered. And as far as "the engine kills the looks"..... come on. Opinions will be opinions  [roll]

If somebody wants a Speed Triple then they will buy one. If somebody wants a comfortable, powerful Ducati then the S4 Monster fits the niche.

The Monster should be air cooled, end of story.

That's pretty closed minded.

Are you channeling someone?
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

I'm sure they ride great, but that doesn't change the fact they are ugly.  :D

A Monster can be both air cooled and water cooled.  The SF DID NOT and has NOT taken the S4's place, just look at the sales.
Can we thin the gene pool?
