Ducati S 4

The Ducati S4, released in 2002, is a Monster that packs a punch with its 916cc engine, delivering a substantial 92 Nm of torque at 7000 RPM. This transplant from the famed 916 Superbike gives the S4 a distinct edge over its smaller-engined siblings, offering a thrilling surge of power throughout the rev range. A six-speed gearbox allows riders to fully exploit the engine's capabilities, making it a capable machine for both spirited street riding and occasional track days. Weighing in at 193 kg, it strikes a balance between stability and agility. The riding position is classic Monster, offering a blend of comfort and control. The seat height of 803mm makes it accessible to a wide range of riders. With a 15-liter fuel tank, longer rides are possible, although the focus is clearly on performance. Dual disc brakes provide ample stopping power. The S4 is aimed at riders who want the iconic Monster styling with a significant boost in performance. It's a motorcycle that demands respect but rewards skilled riders with an engaging and visceral riding experience. Its combination of raw power and nimble handling makes it a standout in the naked bike category.
