DUCATIMonster S4R 2004 - 2005

　　In 2004, the Italian motorcycle maker introduced the Ducati Monster S4R, a naked or standard machine that featured a single-sided swingarm, a standard windscreen, and a wider 180 mm rear tire.

　　The bike was part of the Monster family introduced back in 1993, with the Monster 900 being the first member of the range. Over the years, the Monster family included various motorcycles with different engine displacements but similar appearances.

　　The Monster S4R was produced from 2004 to 2006 and packed standard features, such as a round headlight, a front cowl with a small windscreen, the signature steel Trellis frame, a single seat, a dual exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right side of the bike, and five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

　　The bike's suspension was handled by a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable Showa shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear.

　　As for the stopping power, the bike packed a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel and two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel, taking care of the bike braking performance.

　　In the power department, the 2004 Ducati Monster S4R had its heartbeat set by a 996cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 113 hp with a peak force at 8,750 rpm and 96 Nm (71 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
