The Ducati Monster 620 Capirex was a special version of the standard model dedicated to Loris Capriossi, a renowned Italian racer that successfully wrapped up his first year in MotoGP under Ducati's colors.
The 2004 Ducati Monster 620 Capirex featured an exciting color scheme with a red fairing, passenger seat cover, and tank, complemented by a lateral white stripe. In addition, the machine featured the Capirex official logo on the windscreen and the 65 official race number.
Other notable features of the Monster 620 Capirex were represented by the double-sided aluminum swingarm, carbon fiber front mudguard, panels, mufflers heat guards, a height-adjustable rear axle, and a raised riding position for more ground clearance.
In addition to all features, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer added an all-new six-speed manual transmission with a brand-new wet clutch for smoother acceleration. This user-friendly feature was borrowed from the 2004 Monster 620.
The 2004 Ducati Monster 620 Capirex had its soul brought to life by a 618cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by a fuel injection system, boasting 60 hp at 9,500 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
The bike's braking system was shared with most of the Monster models, comprising two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
