Motorcycle specifications Ducati900 MONSTER ie 2000 Roadster of all times

revamped in 2000, with raised handlebars, a slimmer rearservoir, smoother controls, a rev counter and fuel injection, the 900 Monster retains the sublime pencil strokes that gave it birth in the early 90s. Injection has made the desmo twin much smoother, and given it a few extra horses. The revised riding position is much more pleasant. As is the way the twin works, rounder and fuller. Has the monster become gentle? Not at all! The terror of the city will certainly be more at ease here, but it has kept all its fiery spirit. At half throttle, all you have to do is turn the handle to get a good kick in the ass. Big potatoes, a husky, cavernous sound, this mill is a real delight. The formidable agility goes hand in hand with the stiffness of the suspension, more suited to sporty riding than cruising. Don't worry about the brakes, entrusted to Brembo 4-piston units.

With its more conciliatory engine and unmistakable plastic, the 900 will continue to bewitch not only handgrip enthusiasts, but also a public more attracted by the famous image of the Italian roadster. Ducati is keen to broaden its range of products, and offers its Monster in several versions:
- Dark, painted in matte black only, with minimalist equipment and a low price tag
- Classic, with Ducati colors and an attractive paint finish
- S with windscreen, painted seat cover, multi-adjustable fork and Öhlins rear shock.
If you're in a hurry, look no further than the S4 and its boiling-hot 916 engine.
