Bologna, Italy - A special edition of the latest addition to the Monster family has arrived. The S4 Fogarty will be available exclusively on-line at Ducati.com starting June 20th for the price of 18,000 Euro, approximately $15,400 US (using a conversion rate of 1 Euro = 0.853391 USD). The S4 Fogarty was created in homage to racing legend Carl Fogarty, whose ability, determination, and amazing dominance have inspired and thrilled racing enthusiasts worldwide.
Aldo Drudi, noted designer of racing helmets for numerous renowned pilots, created an aggressive and stylish new graphic scheme for the new model.
The fuel tank, front mud guard, headlight fairing, seat cowl and footpeg brackets, which are the same color as the frame and wheels, were also specially designed for the S4 Fogarty by Aldo Drudi.
The engine underwent significant improvement as well. A range of upgrade options are available such as raised oval carbon-fiber exhaust kit manufactured by Termignoni, an injection CPU featuring a dedicated calibration and a special airbox with a corresponding frame. The gain in performance is remarkable, increasing the standard 101 HP at 8750 rpm to 110 HP at 9750 rpm with the "Fogarty" version.
Each bike comes with an exclusive titanium plate etched using laser technology - specially designed by the Poggipolini Company - and fitted near the fuel cap. Etched on the plate are the Foggy logo, his signature, and the bike’s serial number.
And only available for S4 buyers: a limited edition leather jacket specially designed by Aldo Drudi, echoing in line and color the exclusive design of the bike itself. Every jacket is distinguished by the addition of an internal label bearing Foggy’s autograph, logo, and the jacket’s serial number. Produced in a limited series of 300 numbered units, these jackets will also be on sale exclusively at Ducati.com, June 20th.
