DUCATIMonster S4R 2006 - 2007

　　In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster S4R, the most powerful naked machine in Ducati's range at the time. It was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993, with the Monster 900 as the first member of the range.

　　When it was first released in 2004, the Ducati Monster S4R was fitted with a dual exhaust system with two mufflers mounted high on the right side of the bike, a single-sided swingarm, a standard windscreen, a wider 180 mm rear tire, and a displacement increase with more power and torque.

　　In the appearance department, the 2006 Ducati Monster S4R delivered the same looks as most Monsters, with a round headlight, a small front cowl with a tiny windscreen, the signature steel Trellis frame, and lightweight five-spoke aluminum wheels.

　　The frame was fitted with a 43 mm fully adjustable TiN-coated upside-down Showa telescopic fork on the front and a fully adjustable shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear, delivering outstanding handling capabilities.

　　As for the power figures, the 2006 Ducati Monster S4R took its muscles from a 996cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine with a fuel injection system taking care of the piston, boasting 113 hp at 8,750 rpm and 96 Nm (71 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

　　The bike packed a six-speed manual transmission and a final chain drive, pushing the bike to 236 kph (146 mph). At the time of its release, the bike was sold with an MSRP of $13,495, and in 2023 (at the time of writing), it was sold with an average price of $3,800.
