Ducati Monster S2R 800 First Ride & Review! A Classic Italian Monster!

- This is my first ride and review of my 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 800. This is a classic Ducati monster with the iconic frame-on body design with the single-sided swingarm. I give you my initial thoughts on the exterior styling, how it handles street riding and an overview of its performance. With over 77 horsepower coming out of the V twin-engine, this naked sports bike has a lot of power for the street, with the agility to take turns into the corners with ease. They don't make motorcycles like this anymore, with little to no electronics, it is just a classic motorcycle riding experience with an Italian flavour that everyone would love.

I'm a Monster fan...this is no secret. I have 2, both from 2003 (a 620, and a S1000). I rode the 620 across the USA and back, it was amazing. I'm 5'8 and you're 5'9, so we're probably having a very similar experience on the road. The riding position is one that fits my frame best. Speaking of the frame...this is what made the Monster what it was...without it now...ugh...makes me weep.
Your bike looks great! If you wanted to open up the look of the rear, I think those passenger rearsets are only held on by 2 bolts each. Removing them would def open up the rear end. I also removed my rear fender which gives a more impressive view of the rear tire...but yours has that shorty fender, so probably no real difference in removing it. Plus...water up your backside on a rainy day wouldn't be fun either!! LOL!!
Power on the Monster is awesome because it's allll torque. Off the line, the Monster is one of the funnest bikes to ride either around town (as it was intended) or through twisties. The V-Twin is really what makes the Monster sound amazing.
These classic Monsters are rarely seen on the road, that alone makes them more exclusive and you got a fair price considering how good of shape it's in!
Ride safe and have fun!

Great point on removing the passenger peg something I'll do ASAP this weekend. I couldn't be in more agreement with you on all of this it's truly such a special bike and the frame is what it makes it iconic so it's sad that that is no longer the case on the new ones
I got my 2005 S2R 800 a month ago, although 18 years and with 39000 km old it looks like new. Like you said 77HP is more than enough for street riding. Paid around 4,200 € for it which is reasonable. fell in love with the monsters when I made my motorcycle driving licence in '92 but could not afford one at that time. Now a dream has come true.
That’s awesome to hear man. Congratulations! Welcome to the channel by the way and please make sure to ride safe!
Coming up on 10 years since I've bought my '98 750! I turn it on weekly on the winter months! 28K miles! I'll keep riding it for another 10 years!
This one looks soooo good 😻I’m a proud owner of a 800ie Monster. Fell in love with the styling back when I was 14 or so. Never though I’d actually own one
I am the original owner of a 2005 Monster S2R 800 just like this one. I rode it as a weekend toy until 2008 when I became a parent. I did the “tail chop” mod, Fast by Ferracci titanium mufflers, the Ducati “udder eliminator” headers, CRG bar end mirrors and LED tail light with integral turn signals. It has 15k miles on it and I haven’t ridden it since 2008. It’s going to need a lot of work to get roadworthy again - flush fuel tank and lines, probably replace fuel injectors and pump, the 12k service (timing belts and valve adjustment), replace tires, chain and sprockets and a thorough detail. Likely will also need to service and modify the suspension to suit my 15 year older (heavier) body and get all new riding gear as well. What a beautiful machine!
Make sure you don’t sell it! Honestly, these are some of the most iconic motorcycles ever made. You are going to absolutely love every moment with it.
PS. I've gotta say I'm really glad to see some new videos popping up about the classic Monster. I've scoured TH-cam and they mostly suck. So thanks for posting these well put together videos and for elevating the level of content creation about them!
Glad you're enjoying them as much as I enjoy making them David we both obviously have the same great taste in motorcycles ;)
i have the 04 model, best bike ever in my opinion,
upgrade suspensions front and rear with ohlins,
springs front ,hole rear.
sachs rear wasnt realy working
sometimes i think of selling it
but
this thoughts go away after a nice ride 😍😍😍😍
i m very happy with it
You got an absolute killer deal man. Gorgeous bike, absolutely timeless that you will never get bored of. Safe riding!
Thanks Rajer it was an incredible bike for sure! Welcome to the channel!
Congratulations Sonder.
I hope you post a lot more videos about this motorcycle 🏍.
Thanks Ricky! More to come on her, honestly been really finding out I'm enjoying the little quirks of this motorcycle the more and more I ride it.
@@carswithsonduren The Monster has always been one of my favorite rides.
Just like Ducati NYC i have a 2006 620ie Monster. Mine has Termis which sound awesome, his has Mivv GPs which also sound great. The Monster is such a cool bike and as my first real bike the 620 has more than enough power/torque for me. At $5k for mine with only 20,000Kms when i bought it, to me the bike was a bargain. They are supremely durable, Ducati NYCs now has 56,000 miles on the clock and it’s still going strong. I am 6,1 and i don’t find my Monster too small for me. It feels just right. Enjoy your 800, she looks sweet.
Welcome to the channel and nice Monster as well you have! Your a great size for the Monster, any bigger might be too much tho :p
Quality content, thank you!
Thank you and welcome to the channel 😎
Great video dude! Looking into getting my license and my first bike soon. Didn't like the white details on pictures but your live video changed my mind and damn it looks good in motion! Definitely having the S2R in my sight when I'm scouting for a great deal this late summer to fall!
It’s an amazing motorcycle you’re going to absolutely love it! The sound as one of a kind.
More Ducati S2R800 content please!
Bro I know this video is old, but your bike is amazing and these edits and lighting are just top game. mirin
Thanks my man welcome to the channel!
loved the video, love the bike!
Thanks Adam! I actually think many people could get such an amazing experience with this bike especially at his price point, it should remain sought after to a degree over the years.
The bike looks amazing!
Thanks man :) I sold it unfortunately but still reminiscing 😎
Amazing bike, and much better than the latest model
Lovely bike. I think i have it's clone. Bought it 1 month ago but ive owned 2 other Monsters a 1999 750M and a 2001 S4 Foggy. This S2r looks just like mine except i keep the windscreen on mine. The previous owner was the Mexico City Desmo club organizer and obviously took very good care of it. Its got all the carbon fiber era correct like front and rear mud guard, belt covers, and a few others all ducati performance parts. My favorite goodie it came with was the Arrow exhaust and it really sealed the deal for me. The sound is just brutal. Very deep and rewarding. Coming off a Streetfighter V4 i can tell you that 99% of the time the torque is going to be enough on the S2R. The V4 around town isnt going anywhere you arent. And like you said, this bike is all you buddy. Feel like locking up the back brake? You got it. Feel like downshifting and revv matching? You can do it too if you can do it! This bike is docile but its also not going to make you feel like a fast bro with something to prove. Id recon its more of a Porsche 911 from the 80s and 90s. Theyre fun and coveted for a reason.
Ooooo would love to see your bike as well. If you have pictures send them to me on IG!
Beautiful bike, I also have an s2r 800, I really like the rearview mirrors, what brand are they?
Amazing bike.I gonna get mine this week🙂
You’re going to love it. Congratulations!
The last of the the V twin air cooled single swing arm Ducati's , Classic !! ( I've had 3 of these, not tons of power, but it gets you down the road )
Absolutely such beautiful motorcycles so glad I own this one
The M796 was made through 2014 and had single sided swingarm and air cooling
Mine is orange and black...I put a nice Ohlins behind and Andreani in front...NOW IS FUN!
Hi have the same bike and I'm so glad to see one get a recent review! It is an awesome bike and I absolutely adore the thing... I'm 5'3 and did a small adjustment to the seat when I got it so I could get my feet down more easily, (didn't want to tamper with the suspension) and it has been perfect. I'm really keen to see how yours goes at the track! Thanks for the vid :-)
Hey Kate glad to hear you love yours as much as I do! It really is a phenomenal motorcycle have you done any modifications to yours? How many kilometers do you have on yours? Make sure to keep those tires down and ride safe ☺️
@@carswithsonduren Heya, I bought it at 8,500km 3 years ago and now it's up to 21,000 (but I live in Australia so we always do big distance), and it was my main commuter vehicle for ages... The only mods I've done was the seat, but I really liked the look of your headlight, so I'm giving it some thought... I agree the newer monsters don't have the same elegance as the older ones...
Nice follow me on IG and send me some pics of it! Canadianridervlog
I have an 05 620, it's so little and fun. I do miss the dry clutch of my MTS, but it's way cuter and more "practical."
Hy @Canadian Rider love your mirrors can you tell me where i can buy ones ?regards
Nice bike👌 do you have a lonk to that headlight? Looks awesome
Cool video my friend. Just picked up a similar year S2R 800. What brand of bar end mirrors are those?
Let me check
I liked the reflective bits on your helmet which I thought looked like a SHOEI RF1400. Were they an add-on you can purchase? Thanks. Oh, a guy nearby me has this exact bike to rent on Rider-share!!! Imagine I'll fall in love. It has a really well done fly screen on it too. Also, does it have the old style side stand that springs up if not contacting the ground?
Yes those are added on! Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/lqmCL5pmnkI/w-d-xo.html
I used a regular single arm side stand for this bike personally so not sure about the old style one.
Where did you found the rear-view mirrors
Hi, Just came across your vid and looking at the same model in Australia. Do you have a list of your updates or vids and I want to match where i can. The exhaust and fork height etc. Thx
I have most of the mods linked in the description box down below
Great vid. I am aiming to buy this model when my car sells🥝🇳🇿😎
Nice congratulations and welcome to the channel!
I see this is an older post but where did you buy the gp shorty exhaust ?
At the end of the video, could see the backseat being quite dirty, did you had dirt on your jacket too ?
The bike is far better looking without the fender, but if you get dirty when it start raining ... looking to buy a s2r 800 or a 620
Yes got quite dirty for sure without the fender.
Hi pretty cool head light . may i know how much for that led headlight ?
Hey Tony! I did a full video here that includes the link: th-cam.com/video/s29VN7FRB34/w-d-xo.html
hello. do you have a link to your front led headlight? all the one i can find in france are to little in diameter
Yes check out my playlist I have a video with all the parts all linked!th-cam.com/video/s29VN7FRB34/w-d-xo.html
What is the brand of levers?
I found one of these for 3,800 american dollars and I'm so tempted to buy it I'm just not sure if I should I haven't rode yet but want it to be my first I this a good first bike? Could I learn to understand how to ride and control the power I wanna drive it slower untill I get comfortable to go to work and back daily
This will be perfect for that. Well that has a lot of power the power is definitely manageable and would be a great first bike
Do you have any HD photos for wallpaper of the monster?
I do if you would like some let me know via Instagram and I'll send some over
Do those white wheels get filthy easily? I’m thinking with brake dust and road grime they must never look clean.
They do but if you ceramic coat it it’s not bad
Duc’s riding group tomorrow at Dutch dreams, 7:30 PM, bring the bike and say hi
Will try to come to this!
@@carswithsonduren that’s great, should be fun. Everyone is great, no bull. There should be a lot different Ducati’s, from classics to street fighter V4s. P.S. bring 😷
Was your front end that bouncy before you lowered it?
Not that I was aware of no.
How many KMs does this have? Sorry if I missed it in the video
At the time 19K
Can the brake system be replaced with ABS?
not that I know of, I've had a 2005, 2007 and another 2007, monster s2r 800, its got no module for traction control, ABS helps alot in wet weather especially if you're not a great rider
The bike to get is the S2R1000
How do you think someone who is 6 foot tall would feel on this?
I’m 6 feet. Is this too small?
I think it might be a hair too small but try it.
What is your take? The classic Monster or the new ones?
Classic all the way
The new Ducati Monsters are an abomination compared to the beauty that is the classic monsters all the way up until 2008 with the end of an era with the s4rs.
Just look at the 2021 monster, it's such a boring, bland and unoriginal street fighter styled bike. It looks just like any other bike by yamaha, suzuki and bmw
The S2R/S4R is where the true beauty of the Monster really is, it's where you find the soul of Ducati.
Completely agree with you on this one. It's sad and I'm surprised Ducati moved away from many of the things that made the Monster so unique and successful.
Looks are subjective. I’ve had an 08 S2R1000 and currently have an 09 1100s. 1100s is a better bike, especially in terms of handling.
@@DefaultTH-camUserAccount i think an exception ,to some extend ,is the 696 ,796,1100 air cooled monster design .Last of the last...:-)
$4600 is a bargain, wow.
Hey I'm looking at a k5 tomorrow. I can get it for 3000 USD. My question: I'm a bigger guy, 6ft 250lbs. Is this too small for me? I'm used to litre bikes (1000+).
It’s too small for you in my opinion.
@@carswithsonduren thank you!
