Plain gloss black was an option (with a slight sparkle to the black frame) and I have a friend with just such an S2R (hi, Ezio - have you joined yet?!).

I'm guessing that the red 'MONSTER' has just been stuck on over the lacquer - is that the case, Alan?

Yes indeed, there is a sparkle off the frame....do you know I didnt notice re the "Monster" sticker....I will check tomorrow. May have been done by the dealer here if it is stuck on...interesting.

An interesting conversation guys, I cannot add anything to the color debate, I dont think it was resprayed though, you can normally tell I think.

@Daveg yes I will take off the rear pegs in the next day or so, ittl improve the look as you say, I'll post a few pics. I have been looking at various sites, there is a lot can be done to them, I have seen some beauties......my wallet may hurt though

I like the MONSTER logo when it's the same length as the DUCATI, as on the 1100/821/1200 but when it's small, it doesn't quite sit right to my eyes. If it were mine, I think I'd remove them.

If you find you liked it better with, (or they were hiding a scratch! ), you could always replace them - perhaps with the larger version from the 1100.

I must have a look at the longer ones, im not overly familiar with them....yes I remember covering the odd scratch with a sticker in my old garage days....hmmm
