THE FLAGSHIP
Some of the most sought after Ducati models are the striking 'Tricolore' versions. Models like the F1 750, 851 and more recently the 1098 Tricolore, produced in limited quantities, represented the best-of-the-best and now enjoy legendary status.For 2008, Ducati will produce a Special Edition S4R S in the bold Tricolore color scheme. True to its legacy, the S4R S Tricolore epitomizes the essential soul of Ducati. Its Italian design heritage is expressed by the colors of the Italian flag and its sporting heart could not be better represented than by the racing technology and absolute racing performance it embraces. The Monster S4R S Tricolore – true to its name – the flagship of the Monster family.
