Ducati North America announces two additional color selections for the 2008 model range, which were unveiled this past weekend at the Paris Motor Show: the Hypermotard S in Black, and the Monster S4RS Tricolore.

The Hypermotard S has been a hit with US customers for several months now, and the striking new black color is a welcome addition to the model family. The Hypermotard 1100 S attacks urban canyons and mountain curves with total abandon. It's sole purpose--to thrill. The aggressive 'motard' styling and stance combine with Ducati Superbike technology to deliver the best of both worlds. With a riding position that ensures total control, the exceptionally slim and incredibly light Hypermotard is ready to dominate every inch of asphalt. The Black Hypermotard S will carry the same MSRP as the Red Hypermotard S; $14,495.

The Hyper' is back in black for 2008.

As the flagship of the Monster family, the Monster S4RS will continue the Ducati Tricolore theme; with an evocative Red, White, and Green paint scheme designed by Aldo Drudi. The Tricolore paint will be accented with a gold frame and wheels. For unparalleled power, road holding and sheer excitement--all in a uniquely styled motorcycle that is distinctly Ducati--the Monster S4RS is the choice for discriminating enthusiasts. MSRP for the Monster S4RS Tricolore will be $14,995.

Both the Black Hypermotard S and Monster S4RS Tricolore will be available at authorized Ducati dealers in December.
