In 2003, alongside the standard Monster 800ie, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 800ie S, a naked or standard machine that came with several modifications.
The 2003 Ducati Monster 800ie S featured a revised suspension system that raised the seat height and ground clearance for better maneuverability. Also, the bike was fitted with carbon fiber body parts for a lower overall weight, while in other departments, it remained identical to the standard model.
The Monster 800ie S was part of the Monster family created in 1993, with the M900 being the first model. The Monster was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and manufactured in Bologna, Italy.
At its core, the bike packed the same 803cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine as the standard machine, with an electronically controlled fuel injection system that delivered smooth throttle response and fast accelerations.
As for the power figures, the engine was coupled to a six-speed manual transmission, boasting 73 hp at 8,250 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm, pushing the bike to a top speed of 206 kph (128 mph).
The 2003 Ducati Monster 800ie S packed the signature tubular steel Trellis frame with a 43 mm fully adjustable fork on the front and two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers. The rear end was handled by a fully adjustable Sachs shock absorber and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper.
