Advise: Should I go for the S4RS Tricolore or the 848?

This one? It's a preproduction of the new Ducati "Hyper Fighter" based on the 1098.

Hmmmm...stretching the definition of "preproduction", considering it is an exercise in design concept but someone not even connected with Ducati. Total fiction, but beautiful fiction, none the less....

Hey man I'm not up on all the lingo, anything not at the dealer yet is preproduction to me. It is however a fact that a monster based on the 1098 is on the way.

Oh, I totally agree on that one. And like I said, I love the look of the bike, just wanted to make it known that the hyperfighter is not going to reach our greedy little Ducati loving fingers....

The 848 is a pain to ride in traffic. (in hawaii we rarely have flowing traffic) My 848 is my daily riding bike and everytime i get off it i want to run to a chiropracter to adjust my neck. (and im only 23y/o WTF) Im actually looking for a monster now to ride every day.

I was in your same shooes last year and it was between the S4Rs and the 1098. I tested the S4Rs twice and loved it but kept wanting to ride the 1098 (there were no demo bikes then at my dealership). Was about to get the Monster when a Termi equipped 1098 demo bike was made available.
Wow, not fair, but I fell in love instantly and a week later, bought a 1098S. It was the sound, excellent handling, very good ergos (for my 5'7" size) and power that swayed me over. I use it to commute here in Manhattan (NYC) and its not a problem even when its super hot outside and the coolant temp is at 230degrees! I am having way too much fun on this bike and it was a good decission. I know because when I see an S4RS, I don't even have any remorse or second thoughts about not choosing that bike instead.
In short, you will have to make up your own mind about what you want. What you really want deep inside.

It All Comes Down To What U Really Want And What Ur Gut Is Telling You, We Can All Give Advise To What Kind Of A Ride It Will Be For Both But At The End U Will Have To Make A Decision To What Kind Of A Bike Do U Want A Superbike Or A Monster Bike. There Both Different Bikes And Different Riding Styles.

Good Luck With Either One......... There Both Great Bikes
