The Ducati Monster was a range of standard or naked motorcycles introduced by the Italian manufacturer in 1993, with the Monster 900 as the first machine of the family. The Monster was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and manufactured in Bologna, Italy.
Over the years, the Monster family comprised various models with similar appearances but different engine displacements. One machine part of the family was the Ducati Monster 620ie Matrix.
In 2004, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 620i3 Matrix, a machine made in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products as a limited-edition motorcycle inspired by the Matrix trilogy.
The 2004 Ducati Monster 620ie Matrix featured a green with black livery and special graphics on the fuel tank. In all other departments, the bike packed the same features as the S-suffixed base model version.
The machine that had a dramatic road chase in the Matrix movie was powered by a 618cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 60 hp with a peak at 9,500 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
The 2004 Ducati Monster 620ie Matrix had a top speed of 198 kph (123 mph) and was stopped by a couple of 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
