S4RS - Wanted - Page 3

Couldn't agree more about the white one, saw it a few months ago on eBay

Well yeah, that's a dog rough one and the more I look at the black one the better it gets. Super clean with lot's of expensive add ons. I'm talking myself into buying it aren't I? I would do, but simply don't have the room and do I really need 2 Testastretta Monsters?, really? My experience with Ohlins kit on my S4 tells me that is a whole load of expensive pain. The Showa kit on the standard S4RT is probably just as good, and won't need servicing every 12 months, never had a Showa fork seal leak on me, so Ohlins be damned.

If you want a really f off fast twin then the Aprillia Factory (RSV/Tuono) 2nd gen would be the one to go for imho, Oz wheels, Ohlins, loads of carbon and only 1k more than the standard model, it would seem to be a bargain atm compared to the S4RS?

Or buy a monster 1200r

Ha Darren69 I wondered where this was going !!

They are open to offers as I spoke to them the other day.

I could be wrong but i’m sure that black one was up at £6200 last year. I remember wondering why no one had snapped it up when others with more mileage were around the £8000 mark at the time. Thought maybe the black was less popular. I like them myself.

I can't tell you how many scammers I am being approached by...approx 6 : 1...

Not from this site I hasten to add

Sadly too many of those oxygen thiefs around these days...... any progress on finding a bike?

Jam911 · 27-10-2021, 09:41 AM

There are a couple in the frame...

.... but I am taking my time as I am not really in a hurry and I know the right one is out there somewhere...

Jam911 · 06-11-2021, 09:05 PM

Still hunting...

Darren69 · 08-11-2021, 05:33 PM

I know, I know it's not an RS but its the next best thing with everything carbon added except the Ohlins and looks a very nice one. I had to check mine was still there when I saw it was in Nottingham too! (So there are at least 2 Titanium S4RT bikes in Notts These are actually probably rarer than the RS anyway as made for only 2 years (my DVLA search showed that 53 bikes are still registered) and that Titanium colour is unique to the non-RS Testastretta S4R. I'm gonna hang on to mine, it's a real rare beast!

That's a 6k-6.5k bike all day long. Tail chopped a fair bit less I would think so if you prefer that look then it would probably be better to buy one already done. Those Termi cans are worth a lot more unmolested and would just look stupid sticking out a foot of the back end.

Mark64 · 09-11-2021, 11:02 AM

Mine (yours) was like that when I first got it, tail chopped but long pipes, I took nearly a foot off the pipes, made no difference to noise or performance but at least it looked correct.

Blah blah · 09-11-2021, 03:33 PM

I left the Termis alone when I chopped mine and think it looks fine (I think stumpy cans look terrible but then it'd be a dull place is we all liked the same thing!)
