Is the S4RS the Greatest Monster Ever Built?

Any fitting issues?

Seems to me a bike as powerful as the S4R should have fairings. Having never ridden one I think the S2R1k is the "ultimate" Monster on paper. But the best is the 900 of course...especially mine once it's actually built.

In many ways I regret not using a SSSA for my project and envy S*R owners for it. The S*R's may def be the sexiest Monsters... But those SA's are over 22 lbs! and the DSSA are half that. And it's hard to fault them when they're a lustery black;



Carby Monsters FTW. (Apocalypse ready)

You took a beautiful polished aluminum swing arm and had it painted black?  Really? Further words fail me.

Of course not. I took an ugly $39 steel ebay swingarm and had it powder coated black.

If I'd had an alloy swingarm I would have anodized it black tho...

Not good a polished one will stay nicer longer than powder or anodized.........Just sayin. - Gene

Yeah I wanted a black swingarm for my 620 Dark and I could've gone the PC route but it would've cost me more than just buying a black 695 swingarm on ebay for $60 that will stay black and not chip. So thats what I did and I couldnt be happier. Now I'm selling my swingarm for the same as what I paid for the black one so its like I got it for free.

I got an aluminum swing arm and sprayed it black. It matches the rest of the bike and I din't have to polish it.

I can sell you one cheap! And it is beautiful. Do with it whatever you wish!

If it is an aluminum swingram for a M900, I'm interested. - Gene

I've had a couple of S4Rs and a M1000ie S, I'd say the Rs was just awesome on and off the track. I still get to ride one of my old Rs once in a while and it's a blast.

The M1000 was more balanced, very light and also a lot of fun. However, after riding other Monsters such as the 620, 695 and 800 I think all are just as badass as each other. The Rs just has that little bit more vavoom

I go to try an S4Rs but I bet my 02 S4 is better, dry clutch and metal tank

If I'm not mistaken, an S4 shares the same engine, swingarm pivot and frame and can thus be "S4r 'd" fairly easily,  no?
