Got S4R Red Black Stripe?

[Qwack]

For everyone who was curious of the actual number to the U.S.  The link is below....and since it from Ducati, I am pretty sure it is accurate.   Yes, it is 100.

Wow    we are special only 100!!  I am seriously going to look into having a stator cover plate made like the numbered tri colours....is there any way to tell which number we have??

Thanks for the info venomour1993...i printed the page to keep with my ducati paperwork 

and SA_S2R glad you like my plate... [moto]

Just to let the other 99 Red/Black 2006 S4R owners who ever you all are (if you are out there reading this    )  I just emailed Ducati North America.  I asked them how to identify which of the 100 we have I'm sure it must be in the VIN numbers  I noticed the my VIN starts ZDM1RB5T...I am completely guessing but  wondering if the DM means Ducati Monster?  the 1 might be 1 of 100 ?  the RB meaning  Red Black  and the 5 could be  5 of 100 (that is if the 1 is not...)?  I am probably wrong on most if not all of that, but take a look at your VINs...are they similar?

Either way, I will post any response I get From Ducati North America.  Also asked them about helping with Stator covers..why not...If not I will be buying a new stator Cover & looking to find someone who is capable of engraving it  something like this ..my photoshop skills are not the best

QWAK.....like any special production vehicles (I have owned 3 SVT Lightnings and 4 SVT Cobra's from Ford)  They all have specific build numbers and dates.  Not completely sure on how Ducati does theirs..if they even do it at all...though based on the vin that could tell the build date.  If looking at the VIN, normally the build numbers on the bikes will be the last 5 or 6 numbers.  ZDM1RB5T is tha same as mine.  Normally these will specify place built, type of bike, engine size ect. 

1FALP42D6RFxxxxxx  1=Dearborn F=Ford A=passenger vehicle  ect ect

  Doh...well I did say I could be completely wrong and as pointed out I am...wishful thinking...Pretty cool you are quite special, with all the special edition vehicles 

I will post when I hear from Ducati...Hopefully they will respond to my inquire 

Til then..where are the other 96...heard from 3, and I make 4...copy list and add name...where are all of you... ... ..... ..... [moto]....

Quack mine has gone onto the great used bike heaven.

I live in south jersey and my bike was purchased and then later traded back into Desimone Motorsports.....The guy you met up at WCW just MAY have bought my bike....

BTW, WCW rules!

i have a pearly white and red Rs, but I still miss my all red and black R

[Qwack]

Thats pretty funny...I really wanted the S4RS Pearl WHite Red Stripe...but right next to it was the Red and Black Stripe '06 and got a really good deal on it that I just couldn't justify the additional funds...even though I kept thinking afterwards I should have spent the money...Now knowing I have 1 of 100 bikes I think I got a really Great deal 

The guy at WCW I meet had the Carbon World no chop tail section I want..said previous owner put it on...if you did that than it could have been yours..if not its out there somewhere...

Do you come all the way from South Jersey to Rons (WCW)..that is a haul..

I'll pull your name off list too...back to looking for 96...

[He Man]

did you guys notice that the BOMb is a red with black strip?

[Qwack]

I did..almost put him on the list until I noticed that it is a S2R1000...not sure if he custom painted, or just got an S4R tank...S2Rs only came in Red/white, Black/White and the Grey/Black.. that is what I have read.

[He Man]

oohh S4R. Well its on a difference of 4 valves total. same thing!

[Qwack]

if it were the same thing than they would just have all S2Rs or just S4Rs..they wouldn't have made 2 different models... [moto] I don't really care...I was just looking for the final edition 100 S4R owners..and the BOMb isn't one...its pretty wicked looking and is definitely 1 of a kind   

[duc996]

I have one of the exclusive 100 as well....

can I show off my bike too?......

Sharp looking s4r! i've got the 04 blue and white,the red and black looks awesome!

[Qwack]

Love the Blue with White Stripe    ...would have preferred it over my Red with Black stripe...even told the hubby he could have mine and I'll get a used blue/white...but he has his heart set on the Tri colour 

Any pix of your blue/white...

[jesse370]

Yeah I have been known to ride up to Ron's. I got my boots there, my gloves and a ton of other stuff....He dialed in the suspension on my Rs too.

Well, I suppose we are on our own in finding out who has what #.  Here is the response I received from Ducati NA.

Dear Mr. .............,
Thank you for contacting Ducati North America.
We are happy to learn that you are a proud owner of an S4R.  Though the 2006 S4R in Red with Black was imported in limited quantities, it is not a limited edition model with a numbered plaque.  Ducati North America and Ducati Motor Holding are unable to verify the specific numbers that were imported as Ducati Corporate Policy does not allow for release of production numbers for models that are not a limited edition with a numbered plaque.  You may organize something independently with other owners, but unfortunately we are unable to assist in any kind of official documentation.


At least they got back in touch with us.  On another note, since you came up with the idea QWAK, you can be number 1 and I'll be number 2 of 100.  Just kidding, but I know a friend of the guy who machines the aftermarket billet alternator covers for our bikes.  I will se what we can come up with.  How does that sound?

[Qwack]

Hahaha.. I was just going to post the same response I just received from Ducati North America...very funny...

I like your Idea...we can give out the numbers...unless we can come up with something else...Let me know what your friend of friend  says...maybe see what the cost to do 100 would be maybe that will help find the others...I will post on a few other forums seeing if I can find them, Might even post on Ebay..like an ad..not selling anything just put something out there under Ducati S4R and see if they materialize...

Look forward to hearing what the aftermarket guys says..
