Ducati Monster 400 Motorcycle - Street (1997-2004)

The Ducati Monster 400, produced from 1997 to 2004, is a classic naked motorcycle known for its accessible performance. It consistently featured an air-cooled, four-stroke, 90-degree L-twin engine with a 398cc displacement, equipped with SOHC and two desmodromic valves per cylinder. This engine, fed by two Mikuni BDST 38 CV carburetors, delivered 43 horsepower at 10,500 rpm and 33 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm throughout its production run. During this period, the Monster 400 maintained remarkable consistency in its core specifications. Unlike other Monster models that saw fuel injection or liquid cooling, the 400cc retained its air-cooled, carbureted L-twin. There were no significant mid-cycle generation changes or widespread engine overhauls. The primary offering was the standard model, with no consistent evidence of distinct "S" or "Dark" trims. However, a notable variation was a limited series Monster 400 for the Italian market, featuring a 6-speed gearbox instead of the standard 5-speed, and producing approximately 40 horsepower. FAQ:
