Wow is right. Doesn't it look like the tire will hit the "nitrous" bottle? What a steaming pile. Obviously they spent a lot of money but I hate what they have done.

Not sure if I would call that stupidly overpriced. Quick search on Cycle Trader shows ASKING prices of $6500-$7900 USD with much higher mileage, which converted brings you up to just over $10k on the high side, plus the inevitable Canadian market "surcharge". With only 1,000 kms and appearing mostly stock except the exhaust, I'd say it's priced with some negotiation room for someone who's looking for one. But then again, I don't really follow the Monster market closely.

Sport Classics are now firmly in the $25k range (craziness). So yeah, unfortunately this might be a "grab it while you can" deal.
 
The sport classic has come to be "collectable" (I don't know why....but here we are)
That thing is a tarted up monster... so it's the most expensive cheap Ducati... I don't see that as a real claim to fame.
In 50 years, it's STILL going to be a tarted up monster.
Ducati owners are weird. If a 1973 Imola sells for $200,000, they think their POS monster is worth more.

To be fair, that specific Monster was only sold for 1 model year with the 998cc Testastretta motor from the 999, whereas the "upscale" S4Rs was actually sold for 3 models years. That said, without production numbers, I can't be certain, and surely the limited edition Tricolore model is the most rare, but again, the guy isn't asking much more than anyone else.

UGH I definitely felt like I was missing something here, that was it. I forgot the S4R and the S4Rs were different models

Also, though: what kind of Ducatisti buys Termis and then peels off the stickers?
