In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster S2R, a powerful and agile naked machine that debuted in 2005 and manufactured through 2007. There was another version of the S2R available with a 1000cc engine.
The Ducati Monster S2R was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993 with the M900 as the first range member, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced in Bologna, Italy.
In the appearance department, the bike shared many visual components with most Monsters, including a round headlight, a front cowl with a small windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
In addition, compared to other Monster machines, the Monster S2R packed a dual exhaust system with two silencers stacked one on the other high-mounted on the right side of the bike and a single-sided swingarm.
The signature style tubular steel Trellis frame was fitted on the front with a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down telescopic fork. In contrast, the rear end was operated by a fully adjustable Sachs shock absorber with progressive linkage.
The 2007 Ducati Monster S2R had its soul brought to life by an 803cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with pistons fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 77 hp at 8,250 rpm and 73 Nm (54 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
