I am reliabley informed that an S4rS is on its way and will have 999 power and possibley Ohlins. I know MCN anounced this possibility a couple of weeks ago but you cannot always rely on them.Word is it will be £9250 ish

Been on the cards for some time - heard about it from a dealer, Teststretta engine.

Don't see how you could hold on to that much power on a naked bike, but I'm sure it would find a market.

It was bound to happen as the old engine must be getting difficult to manufacture. Plus, the testastretta is probably less expensive to produce as well.

The S4R is already plenty quick. I can't imagine wanting more power.

Yep..radial front end and stretta motor. When I bought mine I knew they would eventually slam a stretta motor in it..but you boys are right...mines too much already with approaching 130hp. The chipped and piped stretta S4R is rumoured to kake 150..

The 996 engine is being discontinued due to emissions laws I'm told.....

You'll have to adapt your riding style Mutters... I doubt you'd get away with leaving it pinned open on a 'stretta Monster

Even though it'll be unveiled in 12 hours, here are some spy shots from an italian site:

Doesn't look a lot different to the naked eye though?
