2001 Ducati Monster S 4 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2001 Ducati Monster S 4 naked motorcycle, Ducati utilizes a 916 cc (55.9 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100 HP (73 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 109.2 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Monster S 4 measures 193 kg (425 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 803 mm (31.6 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 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 230 km/h (143 mph).
