For the 2002 model year, Ducati offered up a special version of their Monster as a “tribute to mark the retirement from active racing of an extraordinary champion who left an indelible and deep impression on the history of motorcycling racing and Ducati.”
Their official description continues: “Carl Fogarty, the Brit mad eyed rider whose personality and exciting wins with Ducati Corse in the World Superbike Championships has captivated the hearts of scores of enthusiasts world-wide. It will be produced in a limited edition of just 300 units and may only be ordered through the Internet starting from next June. The renowned designer Aldo Drudi, who has designed the leathers and helmets for many of the world’s most famous riders, reinvented the graphics of the Monster S4, for this 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, have all been specially designed for the S4 Fogarty.
“Other significant features are two new radiator cowls, a pair of air scoops for improved heat exchange of the rear cylinder, and the sleek aerodynamics of the pointed fairing wrapped around the bottom end of the crankcase, which provide more loading for improved stability at high speed.”
“The upgraded chassis features a smoother front suspension thanks to a pair of TIN-coated Showa forks and a carbon steering damper kit placed on a specials light alloy mount that offsets harsh steering response for safer sports-like riding. The engine underwent significant improvements as well. A range of upgrade options are available such as a raised oval carbon-fiber exhaust kit manufactured by the specialist Termignoni, an injection CPU featuring a dedicated calibration and a special air box with relevant frame.”
