Ducati Monster S4 (2001)

The Ducati Monster S4 is a game-changer in the world of naked motorcycles. Built around the potent 916 engine, this new flagship model delivers a perfect blend of power and handling.

With its re-tuned 916cc engine, the S4 boasts an impressive performance profile, combining muscular mid-range torque with prodigious top-end power. The sports suspension provides a firm ride, ideal for smooth racetracks but potentially choppy over poor road surfaces.

The Monster S4’s styling is unmistakably Ducati, with trademark lines and details that set it apart from the competition. However, some may find the large water radiator slung below the steering head to be a minor blemish on an otherwise flawless design.

On the road, the S4 is a joy to ride, with its flexible engine and strong acceleration making it a thrilling companion for both daily commutes and spirited track days. With its exceptional handling, impressive performance, and sleek styling, the Ducati Monster S4 is undoubtedly one of the most exciting motorcycles on the market today.
