At the 2007 Paris Motor Show, Ducati has launched two new colours for its 2008 model range with a new black version for the Hypermotard 1100S and a 'Tricolore' S4RS model. After the success of the Hypermotard in its' traditional red, the company has decided to launch an aggressive, all black, version for model year 2008. The black paint scheme will be available in the higher specification 'S' model and should be seen in UK showrooms towards the end of this year.
Ennio Capasa has designed the most powerful custom Monster ever, based on the Ducati S4RS. Taking his inspiration from the American dirt-track bikes of the 1970s and 80s and their spectacular performance in rough conditions, Capasa has designed a completely unique motorcycle beast. Assisted by Simone Falcetta, a design specialist, and developed by NCR-Poggipolini, the premium builder of high performance Italian sport bikes, Capasa has inverted the typical design process. Here the designer has adapted to the off road what was originally a street bike. The new bike is perfect for the ultimate C’N’C voyage: “off the beaten track,” ready to tackle the toughest of roads.
