| I had a 2003 VFR w/staintune pipes and it sounded awesome. My only gripe was the Vtec, which I hated. The nice thing about the VFR is it always started, idled, and ran perfect, I wouldn't hesitate t ... |

| I currently ride and S4R and can say that the gearing needs to be changed for general street duty. I dropped the front on mine to a 14t. It helps a good bit. Prior to that it was luggy in stop and ... |

Sure,two Ducati's would not suck. But to only have one. The multi will do. But my 2 cents. the S4R looks to buzy to be naked. needs some cooling fins.

[quote="lotus54"]I sold my ST2 and bought the Multi because I felt the ST liked going fast, and the MTS liked it anywhere (Ok, the ST is better over about 80mph).

Hello Jim,
It will be worth trying a lighter flywheel and dropping a teeth or two on the front sprocket on your S4R - it makes the bike easier to ride at lower revs, but, have to say, also unleashe ... |
