2002 Ducati Monster S4 Fogarty - Foggy Commemorative Monster

Description

Relisting with some pictures that actually do some justice to this beautiful bike.

Up for auction here is a super rare 2002 Ducati S4 Fogarty. This is a special edition Monster created to honor World Superbike racer Carl Fogarty. There were only 300 of these bikes manufactured worldwide with only 75 making their way to the US and sold exclusively by internet. This particular bike is #196. These bikes are very, ery rare and command a big price for those collecting Ducatis. This bike, long with the others will increase in price due to their very limited numbers.

The S4 Fogarty has a special red, hite, nd black color scheme to reflect the factory Ducati colors raced by Fogarty. It sports a 916cc V-twin Desmoquattro engine and Termignoni carbon fiber exhaust cans. It is loaded with carbon fiber bits all over to include the bikini fairings. The bike has a total of 4,609 miles. The instrument cluster was changed out on warranty with noted mileage of 3,325 at that time. I have the service record from a Ducati dealer showing that. The odometer showed 123 miles when I bought it and it now reads 1,284. So I put a total of 1,161 miles on it. I replaced the air filter with a K&N model, ew battery, nd changed the oil about two weeks ago. The bike also comes with front and rear paddock stands which came with the bike when it was new (the stands have some minor rust on the bottoms, ot viewable unless you turn them over). You can see the special Fogarty emblems on the stands. It has the Foggy cover that came with the bike (looks like it was never used). It comes with two ignition keys, he red key, nd the key card. It has the owner’s manual and tools under the seat. I will include the second ECU if you want to put DOT cans back on it. I have not serviced the bike other than to change, rake fluid, attery, nd air filter.

This is a beautiful bike and shows like new. I got compliments on it every time I took it out. It runs beautifully and sounds like a beast. Being such a rare bike, ou are almost guaranteed to be the only one on the road. In fact, took it to an Italian Motorcycle Show a couple years ago that had a lot of bikes. This was the only S4 Fogarty there. It is fast and the Termi pipes make it loud. You WILL turn heads on this bike. Unfortunately, do not have time to ride this bike as life has over-ridden the opportunities to ride it. I am very reluctantly selling this to make room in my garage.

If you have any questions, lease feel free to contact me. I can provide phone number if you want to talk on the phone. I suggest you view the bike personally. I will allow test rides with cash in hand. I will assist the buyer in loading the bike for shipping, ut all business regarding shipping is the buyer’s responsibility. A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end.
