  • Hi, Everyone.
    Luke Rides is back.
    And we are reviewing a monster.
    It has been so long since Luke Rides did a motorcycle review.
    This is an in depth review of the Ducati Monster S2R 1000.
    We will review all aspects of the Ducati Monster S2R 1000.
    Built by Ducati from 2006 to 2008.
    Only produced for 2 years.
    And an evolution of the Ducati air cooled Super Naked.
    From the Monster 900 Super Naked.
    At the time Ducati were building two Super Nakeds at the time.
    S2R 1000. And the water cooled S4R.
    Ducati S2R 1000 was the very latest air cooled Super Naked from Ducati.
    The most beautiful stunning jaw dropping most powerful fastest air cooled naked bike at the time of production by Ducati.
    This was also an interesting time.
    As this a time just before Ducati were bought out by the VW Audi group. By the Germans.
    Before Ducati had access to German electronics. German computers and engineering.
    This was one of very last fully Italian Ducati's
    Built and designed by Italian Ducati. Before Ducati were purchased by the VW Audi group.
    What an interesting motorcycle this is.
    This has the second generation fuel injection system and computer controlled ignition from Ducati.
    And no longer has a choke.
    The computer warms up the mighty super naked engine and takes care of everything else.
    No Carbs to worry about.
    Ducati further refined not only their electronics and also engineering.
    Bring more reliability.
    Yet more power and torque.
    Even the way the rear swingarm is made is interesting.
    Seeing the single sided rear swingarm and the design of the exhaust system.
    And the big Brembo's up front.
    There is so much to like.
    And is a motorcycle that can do so many different things.
    Just not touring or off roading. Definitely don't do that with a Ducati Monster S2R 1000 Super Naked.
    Let's go through every part of the Ducati Monster S2R 1000 Super Naked.
    Let's get reviewing......

      That's wicked. S4R at the time was Ducati's liquid cooled Super Naked. Ducati were making two Super Nakeds at the time. S4R is very fast. Stunning to look at. Very powerful engine underneath. Very cool. Enjoy the S4R Super Naked. That's a special bike. Ducati didn't make many of them. Like the S2R 1000 Super Naked. It was a limited production run. Was couple of years before the Germans. Audi VW group bought out Ducati. Thank you for such a cool comment. Hopefully we will speak again. Take care :)

      Thank you djx3213. Luke Rides had a lot of fun reviewing the Ducati Monster S2R 1000 Super Naked. This was made just before the Germans. Audi VW group bought out Ducati in 2009. Saved Ducati from nearly running out of money. Germans have transformed Ducati. Ducati gained access to German engineering. German electronics. German lessons. German way of engineering. This is among the last of the fully Italian Ducati's. Wow. This is very fast. Among the last of the air cooled Super Nakeds from Ducati.
      The handling. Steering is Super Naked. She wants to dive into every corner and shot you out the other end like a missile. That stunning 1000cc L Win. Lots of power. Lots of torque. You can cruise in the higher gears. Just open the throttle. And be going very fast. The moment you bring the revs up your gone. Ducati S2R 1000 Super Naked is epic.
      Uses the second generation of fuel injection from Ducati. All computer controlled. Computer controlled ignition. The build quality is fantastic. Everything feels so well put together. From the fixings to the quality of the materials. Even the fuel tank is plastic. That's right plastic. Not metal. To save weight. Ducati did such a beautiful job with the S2R 1000 Super Naked. To think this was before Audi VW group bought out Ducati.
      Luke Rides is so proud to be able to make sure the S2R 1000 is remembered. So few of them were sold. As the S2R 800 was cheaper and more popular to buyers at the time. Ducati should be proud of what they created all those years ago. Among the last of the air cooled Super Nakeds. Thank you for commenting djx3213. Hopefully we will speak again. Take care :)

    Just bought one of these. not even ridden it yet . t
    The pride you have in your ownership come across really well. thanks , you've done a good job here

      Nice. Thank you. S2R 1000 Super Naked is epic. Luke Rides is keeping en eye out for Termignoni end cans with no baffles. That is the only negative thing with the stunning Ducati Monster S2R 1000 Super Naked is the factory exhaust system from Ducati. Luke Rides knows Ducati did their best but at the end of the day Ducati still had to meet EURO 4 sound and emissions regulations at the time of production. The Factory exhaust system is fairly restrictive. Holds back a lot of the boom and sound waves from that mighty 1000cc Super Naked engine.
      Trying to find not only the Termignoni end cars with no baffles is very hard and then to find a pair is good condition is even harder. It's the difficulties when having an old Super Naked. Termignoni have moved on to Super Nakeds like the Monster 1200 and Streetfighter V4. Not building systems for the S2R 1000 Super Nakeds any more. Tricky.
      Still epic Super Naked and Monster S2R 1000 should never be forgotten. It is among the last of the air cooled Super Nakeds. We wouldn't see Super Nakeds like these anymore. Thank you for such a nice comment. Hopefully we will speak again. Take care :)

    this will be a rare icon in couple of years

    • @luke_rides
      @luke_rides  4 месяца назад

      True. Among the last of the air cooled Super Nakeds. Among the last fully Italian Ducati's. We wouldn't see anymore Super Nakeds like these. It's important Super Nakeds like these are remembered. Not forgotten. The last of an era. Epic motorcycle even today. Thank you for commenting. Hopefully we will speak again. Take care :)

    Funny you say that about the clutch because the dry clutch rattle was why I bought the 1000 over the 800

    • @luke_rides
      @luke_rides  4 месяца назад

      Right. Dry clutch rattle is stupid. There is nothing interesting about dry clutch rattle. All that does is take away from the awesome noise and sound of the Super Naked engine. Why would you want dry clutch rattle over the booming sound of that gorgeous 1000cc Ducati Super Naked engine? That makes no sense. Even from the factory Ducati used closed dry clutch cover for the S2R 1000 Super Naked. Not to save money. There is reasoning behind covering the dry clutch cover. Sound deadening. Safety. And so the clutch rattle doesn't take away from the boom of the Ducati Super Naked engine.

    Excuse me, is this bike a super naked?

    Where is the catalytic converter? In my opinion, the first series of 800s could be driven without a catalytic converter, but with the 1,000s it is not possible, the engine is tuned for the catalytic converter bubble.

    • @luke_rides
      @luke_rides  3 месяца назад

      Good point. Luke Rides found the S2R 1000 Super Naked without it's catalytic converter. The engine runs smoothly and is a happy engine. Good question. The S2R 1000 Super Nakeds did come with catalytic converters when they were new. I don't think this has had the computer remapped. Not sure. It could be being a air cooled engine the engine is more flexible when it comes the back pressure in the exhaust system. Thank you for commenting. Hopefully we will speak again. Take care :)
