DUCATI Monster 750ie S (2002-2003) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Monster was a standard or naked machine presented at the 1992 International Motorcycle Fair in Cologne and released in 1993. Ducati introduced three models for the first generation, including the Monster 900, which debuted in 1993, the Monster 600 in 1994, and the Monster 750 in 1996.

In addition to these models, the maker launched a smaller 400cc Monster for several markets with high taxes or licenses for larger and more powerful motorcycles. The Monster 400 was intended for the Italian, Japanese, and Singaporean markets but was also exported to Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

In 2002, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 750ie S, a naked machine part of the Monster family that came with improvements to the suspension. The bike had a fuel-injected engine, a Superbike Trellis frame, and a rising rate suspension derived from the Monster S4.

The sporty nature of the 2002 Ducati Monster 750ie S was further enhanced by an aluminum swingarm, a rear seat cowl, a headlight-mounted fairing, and a unique metallic grey with a fluorescent red paint scheme.

The 2002 Monster 750ie S had its soul brought to life by a 748cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in charge, boasting 64 hp with a peak force at 8,750 rpm and 62 Nm (46 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
