DUCATIMonster S2R 1000 2008 - 2008

　　In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster S2R 1000, a naked or standard machine that also came in an 800cc version. The bike was part of the Monster family, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi.

　　The Ducati Monster S2R 1000 was manufactured between 2006 and 2008, while the S2R 800 was produced between 2005 and 2007. The S2R 1000 filled the gap between the S2R 800 and the more powerful Monster S4R.

　　The Ducati Monster S2R 1000 shared most of the visual features with other monster machines, including the round headlight, a micro front fairing with a small windscreen, the signature-style steel Trellis frame, a high-mounted dual exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side of the bike, and lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　In the suspension departments, the bike was fitted with a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear.

　　The bike rolled on five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels and stopped by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear.

　　As for power, the 2008 Ducati Monster S2R 1000 was fitted with a 992cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 95 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
