2004 Ducati Monster S4R Review

2004 Ducati Monster S4R

A new wind

The S4R is the top of the range Monster – the most powerful, highest-performance Monster ever. It all starts with the 996 cc Superbike engine and lightweight Superbike-derived trellis frame to ensure the perfect combination of power and handling. A Showa fully-adjustable front fork with low friction TiN treatment and a fully-adjustable Showa rear shock handle suspension duties.

The exclusive Ducati Superbike rising rate, ride height adjustable rear suspension system includes a new single-sided aluminum swingarm. An extraordinarily beautiful “two into one into two” exhaust has been designed for the S4R. With both silencers positioned high and on the right side of the bike, the system has an aggressive and powerful new look.

113 horsepower combined with the S4R’s lightweight of 193 kg/425 lbs results in an inspiring power-to-weight ratio. Twisting the throttle of the S4R is thrilling. A close ratio gearbox just adds to the excitement.
