If the rest of the world made enough noise wanting it I am sure it could happen. Looks great in that colour.

Being a novice :dunce:, can anyone tell me what the significance of the S2R before the 796 model number ??

I believe is is simply a homage to the original S2R which had a racing stripe. I had a red bike with white stripe and white wheels so this looks like a modern version of the theme.

Quite pretty though IMO, and red wheels are easier to clean than white! ;)

I quite like the colour scheme.
Not a fan of single siders myself though, so I'd probably take the std one with the conventional swingarm.

Would look much better with stacked/shotgun pipes, only colour stripe vaguely resembles original not really an S2R in my eyes :rolleyes:

they want to keep price down ,,, plenty of the old exhaust systems in stock ,,,Ducati are crucifying HONDA YAMAHA TRIUMPH SUZUKI in thailand with low prices and great credit deals , best selling big bikes 2 years running 2600+ this year alone
