At the risk of embarrasing myself terribly, Im going to post this question anyway.  Being new to the world of Ducati Ive seen a lot of models thrown around that I recognize...but really dont know the specifics of.  For instance someone stopped me on the street to talk about Duc's and said he has a S4R...now I know thats a Monster...but thats about it.  I did a google (and wiki) search to try to find a model progression for the Monster family but didnt have any luck...anyone know if such a family tree exists on some enthusiest site?

Not one that I've seen... though wouldn't be a bad idea. Would take a little work, since some varieties like the M400 were available in some markets but not others.

As an FYI for you - The S4R is a 4 valve, water cooled, single sided swing arm monster.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
- '00 M900S with all the farkles
- '08 KTM 690 StupidMoto
- '07 Triumph 675 Track bike.

Gotcha.  I would definately be up to the challenge of making a big chart...but I (obviously) lack the knowlege to do so accurately.  I had something like this in mind when I set about looking... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:BMW_cars

This isn't exactly a family tree, but I wrote a "Monster Generations" FAQ a while ago.  It'd be pretty easy to make into a chart like the one you linked.

Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

I just added an article to Spidey's "Monster Generations" from a 2008 issue of ride that give pretty good info/history into pre '08 models...
