Monster Addiction


« on: May 27, 2010, 04:17:02 AM »

Have been riding my '06 S2R1000 for about a year / ~3,000 miles.  Everytime i have the opportunity to nail it WOT in 2nd or 3rd gear it still makes me laugh out loud in my helmet.

Not looking for scientific answers - just curious how fast a Monster is relative to other Ducati's, sport bikes, cars etc.  I ride a Multistrada with more HP (i think) ocassionally, but it does not feel as fast.

In the car world i live in we have always measured 60mph to 90 mph times to compare - a 3 second 60 to 90 car is pretty damn fast. 

Anyone have any numbers on 0-60, 0-100, anecdotal stories about smoking a fat dude on a Vespa, etc.
Just curious if anyone is bored today?

Oh yes, K mode. But that can only be accessed by installing the DP powerband.

I thought you had to move the throttle and brake lever to the left handle grip for the bike to go any faster than 140?

I mean hell, I know I need that.

My left arm is so weak I have clutch issues, so I really want to move the clutch lever to the right along with the throttle control.


Just a straight swap.

I need help on this!

"sprinting from 0-60 mph in a credible 3.4 seconds-one tick ahead of that marital aid in the Lamborghini Diablo"

That brought a smile to my face.

My dad rides an 97 S2R1k and I ride an 09 696.. He will be angry to see these numbers

S2r1k - 11.42-second, 116.17-mph quarter-mile

696 - 11.23 sec. @ 111.0 mph

Slower top speed but it's the run time that counts!

No one is tazering me when I'm pulling away at 140+. Smiley
