The Ducati Monster was a naked or standard motorcycle, part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993. The first member of the range was the M900, a machine designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and manufactured in Bologna, Italy.
One machine part of the family was the 2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore, a special edition motorcycle with a unique livery wearing the Italian flag colors. In addition, some elements were finished in gold paint, such as the Trellis frame, wheels, exhaust system, and front fork.
In other departments, the Tricolore version was identical to the standard S4RS Testastretta model, delivering the same technical and performance specifications but also the same visual aspect as most Monster machines.
In the power department, the 2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore had its muscles from a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 130 hp at 9,500 rpm and 104 Nm (77 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
The bike's suspension was handled by a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down TiN-coated Ohlins telescopic fork on the front end. The rear was operated by a fully adjustable Ohlins monoshock with progressive linkage, offering excellent handling capabilities.
In the braking department, the 2008 Ducati Monster S4RS Tricolore 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.
