1997 Ducati Monster 900S[edit | edit source]
The S-suffixed version of the Monster 900 boasts even more maneuverability, thanks to its revised suspension package, which now includes a race-grade Ohlins adjustable rear monoshock with progressive linkage. This revised suspension also allowed its ground clearance and seat height to be raised, and has also been fitted with a small, headlight-mounted fairing with a small windscreen.
In the engine department, it received a power boost, now boasting 74 horsepower instead of the 65 developed by the base model, which translates into even more thrills for the rider.
