DUCATI Monster 800ie (2003-2004) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1993, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer created a family of naked or standard motorcycles under the Monster designation. The range included machines with different engine displacements and similar appearances.

One model in the series was the Ducati Monster 800ie, a naked machine that shared its appearance with its Monster siblings. The bike was a middleweight machine in the range but also one of the entry-level motorcycles in Ducati's range.

In 2003, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 800ie, a naked or standard machine part of the Monster family. The bike shared the same appearance as its Monster siblings in a middleweight package.

For appearance, the bike came with standard fittings, such as a round headlight with two instrument panels mounted above, a one-piece dual seat, the signature tubular steel Trellis frame, an upswept exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

As for power, the 2003 Ducati Monster 800ie took its muscles from an 803cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 73 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.

In the braking department, the bike packed two 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, offering excellent stopping power.
