DUCATI Monster S4RS Testastretta (2008-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Monster S4RS Testastretta was a standard or naked machine manufactured from 2006 to 2008. When the bike was introduced in 2006, it came with race-grade Ohlins suspension both front and rear, radial front brakes, and the engine from the 999 Superbike.

The bike was a member of the Monster family introduced in 1993. The first Ducati Monster was the M900, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and manufactured in Bologna, Italy. Over time, the range comprised many Monster machines with different engine displacements but similar looks.

In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati Monster S4RS Testastretta, a naked machine in its third consecutive year of production with no significant modifications compared with previous models.

As for appearance, the bike packed the same standard fittings as its siblings, such as a large, round headlight, a minuscule front cowl with a small windscreen, the signature-style steel Trellis frame, a dual exhaust system with mufflers mounted high on the right side of the bike, and five-spoke Y-shaped aluminum wheels.

As for power, the 2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Testastretta had its soul brought to life by a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine, with pistons fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 130 hp at 9,500 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The bike was able to reach a top speed of 245 kph (153 mph) thanks to a dry weight of 177 kg (390 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission.
