I may be wrong on this but I think that the French ones were limited to 100bhp. As far as I can recall the power limit wasn't lifted in France.

Wonder why they differentiate France (and UK for that matter) as being separate to Europe......

The French bikes are restricted to 100bhp.
The Californian bikes differ from the rest of the USA because of the stricter emission regs in that state.

I had one and it didn't have sandcast cases. It was a 998S with Ohlins all round as you say but it's not a 996R which did have sandcast. So not really that special but a nice bike all the same

Came across this the other day and vaguely remembered the past reference in here to the single black FE:

French bikes are still rstricted to 100hp (or 106).

Ducatis are a simple restriction in France especially on the testastretta engines, just a cheap restrictor to stop you opening the throttle fully.

Similar to 998R rear seats on 998's

[rcgbob44]

Nothing wrong with that coz it's still an original (rare) mono, just with a nicer seat that blends in with the C/F air box.
