presentation of the 998 MONSTER S4Rs Tricolore 2008
when you've got a chassis and a heart to make most guys drool, you can not only afford to tease to your heart's content, but also to dress up in the patriotic dress of fine weather. That's why the supreme Monster S4RS is now available in Tricolor. It's the perfect way to get noticed in the neighborhood, just like its cousin, the 1098 S Tricolore, which struts its stuff at chic paddock galas.
it's hard not to be overcome by emotion at the sight of this edition in the colors of Italy.... unless you're allergic to Ducat' or you still haven't digested the World Cup defeat.
If that's the case, be a good sport; the Bologna factory knows how to flatter lovers of fine mechanics. Beneath the green-white-red paintwork, a Monster S4RS stands out with all the panoply of a top-of-the-range roadster: gold-colored tubular trellis frame, big 998 cm3 130 hp superbike twin from the sporty 999, Brembo radial calipers, Marchesini wheels, Öhlins suspension, carbon all around, sporty little windscreen, superb aluminum monobars, and Pilot Power tires - catch your breath and your spirits and admire it again. Beautiful? More than beautiful. It's one of those legendary forging models like the F1 750, 851 and 1098.
Now it's time to bring you down to earth. This gilded evening gown is for demanding ducatists with a good relationship with their bank. Expect to pay 500 euros more than for the standard S4RS, which gives us a price tag... for serious enthusiasts.
