This is my first ride and review of my 2006 Ducati Monster S2R 800. I have had the motorcycle for 6 months now so I feel like I am pretty settled with it after some modifications to give a true assessment for the motorcycle.



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.

The older Monsters are so much more iconic and charismatic than the Kinder surprise models, that Ducati currently spit out. This is my wife's 12 year old 620ie. Stlll going strong and a keeper. Incidentally before anyone mentions it "Termignonnie" is a play on words, as her nickname is "Nonnie" (the wife that is, not the bike!)
