USA - In the beginning there was the S4R: powerful, aggressive, original, extreme - a true Superbike in every sense. The S4R was a new, up-to-date interpretation of the Monster, the ultimate naked bike, a product of Ducati ingenuity and intuition, and the bike which gave birth to a whole new trend.
The success of the Monster S4R has led to the birth of the S2R. The S2R Monster is a more easy-going, less intimidating model with a strong 800 cc engine, but it still shares the same aggressive, exclusive look that has made the S4R the benchmark for style and technology. With its launch in 2005, the S2R immediately conquered a major share of the market.
In the forthcoming Model Year 2006, Ducati has decided to further extend the SR range with the addition of a new Monster S2R equipped with the 1000 DS power plant, the latest evolution of the air-cooled L-twin made in Borgo Panigale.
With its clean, pared-down lines, the Monster S2R 1000 maintains all the styling and functional features of the SR family. The twin vertically stacked silencers mounted on the right side and the single-sided swingarm in aluminium alloy distinguish the Monster SR from the rest of the competition.
