I have 2006 monster S2R 1000 ….air cooled & dry clutch, single swing arm a future classic

[@jwearle1]

I've got an 1100 air cooled and a S4R liquid cooled monster and they're both great. Throttle or fueling down low in RPMs is notoriously poor on Ducati's of this era. If you have issues higher up in the revs you might need to adjust the throttle cable. Agree with a lot of your other comments, I find a lot of enjoyment wrestling a bike around but you're right it can get exhausting. The lever pull on the clutch is probably my least favorite thing about both of them, it's just very tiring for long rides. It also makes city traffic pretty miserable in general.

I bought a brand new one in 2008 as my first ever motorcycle, it took some time learning to ride it. I fully agree with your comments, though once you get used to it, it’s awesome to drive hard. For city traffic and light cruising it’s definitely not comfortable. I sold it after 13 years, and I’m now sorry I did. Even though I own a Diavel 1260s now, I can’t really use its power, and I end up thinking of my old, fully modded S2R.

Currently have a Ducati ST2 2000, have had many bikes over the past 54 years of riding. Looking for an old monster, got to have a dry clutch, only way to go! The Ducati twin mid-range is awesome for street riding.

Great video and review, great bike stay safe many thanks

I have an 07 S2r1000. Absolutely love everything about the bike. It’s alittle choppy down low but not bad. Nothing like my old M900. Just need to ride in the gear up from where you’d assume since they have so much power down low. Idk what all the guy I bought the bike from has done to it. Nothing is stock. From handle bars and turn signals to exhaust and lights nothing is stock. He had the bike mapped and tuned he says. What surprises me is that I ride with a lot of guys who have 600s and my s2r eats 600s alive. Judging by stock specs you wouldn’t think that to be true

Man if I accelerate my S2R like that in the first 3 gears it will try and stand up on me lol beautiful bike and awesome video!

[@mitchellfox3130]

You were really struggling to come up with your five cons. 😂

[@monsteralex3098]

Great review! I think this monster would be one day collectible and go up in value a lot, as it is the last original air cooled monster. I have monster 1100 which is also very nice but you have original 😉. I wish sometime that it would make little bit more ponies from that desmo due engine. 110hp would be ideal. Which is most enjoyable bike from all bikes you have?

[@Zepfan321]

Rizoma bars were stock on S2Rs as far as I can tell. Mine has the same

[@smiffyraf1]

is that your brake lever microswitch hanging off?

[@jerridmichener5214]

Do you by chance have an extre key? I just bought this bike and only had 1 key. Thanks
