2004 Ducati Monster 800 i.e. Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Ducati's naked motorcycle platform, the 2004 Ducati Monster 800 i.e. pairs a 803 cc (49 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 73 HP (53.3 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 69 Nm (50.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.9 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Monster 800 i.e. measures 179 kg (395 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.41 HP/kg (2.45 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 288 km (179 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 206 km/h (128 mph).
