not sure...

my friend/mechanic who helped me let my bike dropped and tore the seat and my beautiful red seat cowls so he go me this CF seat cowl. I still prefer my red one and keep looking for one to get...

I"ll see if there are marking on it to let you know the make.

Don't sweat it, I've just been on the fence about buying a CF one, and have noticed a pretty big difference in quality in looks and fit from one brand to another. Was curious bc yours has the look, color, and weave I desire.

Actually the maintenance schedule difference is nothing more than the stroke of a marketing pen.  There is nothing so intrinsically different between the engines that you couldn't maintain the S4Rs on the same schedule. By the same extension you'd likely be better off maintaining the 821 along the schedule of the earlier models. Either way would work. I would say the same about the electronics unless of course you are talking about all the various choices of maps, etc. ABS and whatnot. Then again the 821 really doesn't need all that stuff, really, but the marketing people like to add it on. As for sound and HP. Highly subjective there. Some people like/want more than others and nothing wrong with that either way too.  Dolph
To each his own I do not agree with your observations on maintenance, neither does ducati, or the electronics. As someone who has more than 100K miles on 4 different brands and >200K miles on another brand, and an ex MSF instructor I think my observations are worth something. I also can tell you that I love every bike in my garage and there is not a one of them I would give up for an 821 but I'l also tell you that the Diavel may be the best bike I have ever owned and one of the big reasons is the electronics. I have already had the brakes and the traction control kick-in and they might have saved me. The brakes from colliding with an Eagle who had a ground hog in his grasp as he tried to take off from the side of the road. The traction control from a hidden batch of gravel same color as the road in a shady spot on a nice twisty section of road.

So you have your opinion and I don;t object to it, but for those reading this board that are newer riders and/or newer to Ducati, I say to you I think the 821 is a great motorcycle, it has all the technology advances that make it one of the best Monsters yet and you'll pay less to maintain it. - Gene

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

FTFY. It's beautiful.

This entire thread ALMOST makes me want an S4RS. Luckily my wallet crushes that dream pretty quickly.

S has Ohlins bits on it.

I think the color combinations were different, like only the T came with the satin titanium.

Ok so what is the difference between the T and the S4R? or is there one.
I know the old S4's had the 916 engine and then I thought they went with the 998 and the SSS with the S4R

S4R is 996 Desmoquattro,  basically same as ST4s.

The S4Rt is a S4Rs (998cc) without the Ohlins suspension plus the unique Titanium paint scheme. The pre 2007 S4R was 996cc
