DUCATI Monster S2R 1000 (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2006, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Ducati Monster S2R 1000, a naked or standard machine part of the Monster family that integrated between the agile S2R 800 and the powerful Monster S4R.

The Ducati Monster 1000 was manufactured from 2006 to 2008 and packed a single-sided swingarm like the one used by the Monster S4R, and the engine spun the rear wheel with a force of 95 hp.

The bike was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993, with the Monster 900 being the first member of the range. Over time, the range comprised various motorcycles with different engine displacements but similar appearances.

The Monster was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzi and was manufactured in Bologna, Italy. In 2005, the Monster machine accounted for over half of Ducati's worldwide sales, making the Monster one of the most popular motorcycles in Ducati’s range.

For appearance, the 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 1000 packed standard features, such as a round headlight, a small front cowl with a minuscule windscreen, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a dual exhaust system with two mufflers mounted high on the right side and five-spoke cast aluminum wheels.

The 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 1000 was brought to life by a 992cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine, with pistons fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 95 hp with a peak at 8,000 rpm and 95 Nm (70 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

In 2023 (at the time of writing), the 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 1000 was for sale with a ranging price between $5,000 and $7,000, depending on its conditions.
