Guys,

Anyone know of any S4R's about?

I've heard soime awsome reports in the press but not spoken to anyone who has "thrown their leg over" a it were.

Any thoughts from anyone would be most appreciated before I go do something way stupid to a tad over 8 grand..

Cheers

Al

Yeah there real good-pretty much as the reports say-I went from S4-S4R,S4R motor is somehow smoother and quicker although not as `grunty` lower down,You just need to lift the back/drop the front and wind the rear shock up bit harder.MCN went from 1 turn out comp and 2 turns out rebound to 1/4 out on both-works well enough,Rest of the bikes as you see it-you either like the styling or not! Both Arrow and sil mptor have a zorst that looses the cat,I think the arrow one is better,Loads of DP stuff as well,I saw at the show the DP show bike had a couple of carbon guards that ``hide`` the cat-not in the catalogue yet though.Mines red and just about to get the same stripe as the blue one but in silver(and wheels)-Just to make it more distinctive

I've never ridden any other Monster so do not have a comparison to draw against, however my S4R is fantastic. Far more capable than I am.

I went on it out yesterday and was laughing like a nipper in my lid, its so, so fast. *150mph before you can blink.

Buy one.

*If it was legal of course.

hi, agree with the others, the S4R is smoother easier to ride than the S4 and it's gorgeous in blue/white stripe. CMW have a 2nd hand one with only 800 miles on the clock for sale.. I work there in the clothing department so come up and say hello. The owner of it has many bikes but doesn't ride in winter, so its hardly been ridden.. bring your licences talk to Richard book a test ride... we have a brand new one in red also... but blue is lovely....
