in parallel with the release of the wild S4Rs, Ducati is upgrading the S4R with the same engine, the 130hp 998cc. With this extra 13 horsepower in its guts, the Monster becomes more powerful than ever. The 43 mm inverted fork also benefits from this evolution, with radial brake calipers. In terms of looks, it's more charming than ever, with its superb tubular swingarm, 2 superimposed exhausts, small windscreen and even better finish. All in all, the S4R differs from its prestigious sister only in a series of carbon parts and a different suspension system. Showa forks and Sachs shock absorbers are used here, whereas the S4Rs is equipped entirely with Öhlins components. This represents a substantial saving of 2,400 euros, without sacrificing the inimitable character of the Testastretta twin and its cavernous vocals.

Michel 02 Model 2007

Happy owner of a 2007 998 s4r (sold then bought back). It's a motorcycle with character that gives me a real buzz every time I go out, and it gives me a great feeling for acceleration, braking and roadholding. I moved the tension regulator to the outside for better cooling (under the original seat, and it burned out). It's a bike that requires experienced riding, has enormous torque, doesn't like to be under 3,000 rpm, and can hold its own against sportbikes if you know how to take it out on the track. It won't leave you indifferent to other motorcycles (engine retracted to the shoe, and for the noise of the dry clutch).
In short, I love this bike. 02/15/2017 00:16 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Michel 02
