The Ducati Monster 400 is a rebellious and uncompromising motorcycle that embodies the spirit of its naked, streetfighter-styled brethren.
Its 398cc L-twin engine is a marvel of engineering, producing 32 kW at a heady 10,500 rpm. While it may be reluctant to idle when cold, once warmed up it pulls smoothly from about one-third throttle without complaint, idling lazily and evenly at around 800 rpm.
Ducati’s engineers have somehow managed to tame the inherent lumpy nature of this engine, and it’s a testament to their skill that the M400 is so tractable in everyday riding conditions. But don’t be fooled – twist its tail and this little Monster will accelerate with ferocity, leaving bigger sportbikes in its wake. It’s a true performance anomaly that defies expectations and will leave you grinning from ear to ear as you carve through the twisties.
