Motorcycle specifications Ducati998 MONSTER S4Rs 2006 The Superbike roadster

presentation of the 998 MONSTER S4Rs 2006

the history of the Monster is intimately linked to the evolution of Ducati sports bikes. After all, it's the latter's distillers that power the Italian roadsters. Right from the start, the SS models offered their twins to the Naked sisters. And then, from the original 900 desmo, we moved on to the desmoquattro of the 916 for the S4 and began to wonder. Then the 996 cm 3 was inserted into the S4 R, and that's when the big watts started coming in. Today, it's getting downright furious, as the latest Monster, the 2006 evolution, simply offers up the 999's 998 cm3 Testastretta. It's no longer watts, but a very big trunk that you're going to have to control at the throttle.

testastretta is the name of the latest-generation cylinder head of Bologna's twin Superbike. In its configuration for the S4Rs, this engine produces 130 hp. The tubular trellis frame, painted bright red (in all colors except black), is Byzantium. Öhlins 43 mm upside-down forks - with TiN tube treatment - adjustable from all sides, rear shock absorber of the same construction, Brembo all-radial braking system, aluminum monobars, various carbon parts, superb Type 999 rims, 177 kg dry weight and Pilot Power on the shoes. Start saving and crying about this roadster with SBK soul. The Monster's heyday has become Tantalus' torment.

Manust01 Model 2007

Hello, I bought this 2007 S4RS a year ago. It's full (casing, line, air filter) but it's never been on the dyno. It's a very powerful bike in this version beyond 7000 rpm, you need a good field of vision to use all the power of the machine. It works very hard. Below 7,000 rpm, however, the torque can be a little sluggish. This motor is extra .... elastic. I had an ST4S for 6 years and the engine was a bit rougher, more demonstrative it seems. So I'm tempted to try an S4R...just to see. Many people demonize the S4RS for high-speed cornering, because the chassis hasn't been reworked - the wheelbase is short compared with the engine's max power, i.e. 148 bhp...for 177 kg dry weight, even a Monster 1200 R is barely better in terms of power-to-weight ratio. From my basic biker's point of view, I still enjoy passing through a big, fast curve, as the machine holds up well. It might be a different story on the track. It's almost 10 years old and it's still as sexy and engaging as ever. On the open road, however, one might wonder about the usefulness of so much power. I have a 67hp smc 690 with which I really enjoy myself without giving it a second thought..... 04/23/2016 08:54 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Manust01

vince Model 2006

Owning a strict S4R from the outset but freed up, I was able to try out the S and I'm disappointed, admittedly the test version was in 100hp, less feel than the S4R, no engine braking, reaction a bit soft because lack of character, I must say I like brutal bikes, which is not the case, on the other hand the brakes are top notch and what a mouthful, the S with the 148hp kit is worth it it seems, otherwise going from the R to the RS no interest 06/18/2006 11:57 Rating : 5/5 Respond to vince

Crupulus Model 2006

I've just bought one in red. It's still being run in and it's already the best of the best. Comfort, roadholding, light as a bike, attention to detail, superb noise... At red lights, no one starts on green, just look at the cattle and talk... first time I've experienced a feeling like this in my life as a road and enduro biker

tictac Model 2006

i ordered it and it's a smasher, and with the complete kit and the pot out of the way, it's a killer. Can't wait for next week! 05/13/2006 13:47 Rating : 5/5 Respond to tictac

archi06 Model 2006

I was lucky enough to be able to try it out for an hour or so... it's got a big temperament, but the steering is starting to feel too light for my taste, given the power of the engine

NOUKI Model 2006

Well, here it is..... I'm going to order it, I've been out to try it, and it's a blast! I've just got out of an Aprilia RSVR and during the test ride I had a good feeling, it's present at every level. That marvellous engine with its sweet sound that encourages you to squeeze the throttle. I think I'm going to enjoy myself on winding roads! I'm just hesitating between the white or the red? V

Dragon Model 2006

I ordered one! I couldn't resist, so I returned my black ZRX 1100 R, which already spits super, for this beautiful Italian: irresistible. I do hope the boiler will keep its promises, because the ZRX is serious business... I'll let you know in early April! 03/05/2006 20:34 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Dragon

bastien Model 2006

it's a marvel and on top of that it's got the 999's engine! it must be mind blowing!!! this bike is a dream!!! A jewel not to be put in everyone's hands! 01/31/2006 20:35 Rating : 5/5 Respond to bastien

Raekwon Model 2006

Fiou.... this S version makes my head spin! I'm already admiring the lower version, what can I say about this little jewel... the new rims are truly magnificent and with the 999's engine, we're in for a real treat! I'd be surprised if I ever bought one, but this kind of machine makes me dream.... 12/14/2005 10:27 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Raekwon

U Model 2006

...Arms race... I love the image
However, I'd like to point out that there are an incredible number of Monsters and we don't know which way to turn... Are we starting to lose the fluidity and magical soul of the mostro (oops... Monster pardon...)? The choice of engines is becoming Kafkaesque, and only the purse will do..
In any case, like Voxan or Triumph, Duacati has understood that the future of the roadster and the European motorcycle lies not in the tidy battle over preconceived models, where Japanese manufacturers are (and excel...), but in the exceptional motorcycle, full of little inconveniences and special uses, but which gives a unique soul to their models..

... OK, I'm not super objective because I ride an S4R..
Agree 100% with soulka though... 12/10/2005 08:26 Rating : 5/5 Respond to U

soulka Model 2006

It promises to be furious with this monster the only problem is that we wonder if ducati makes bikes to be used or to look good on sidewalks because with 13.5L of fuel is just enough to make a return trip to the pump! 11/24/2005 20:10 Rating : 5/5 Respond to soulka
