916 cc Superbike engine: the liquid-cooled Desmoquattro fuel-injected L-twin derived directly from World Superbike champion race bikes. With muscle to spare, the S4 engine delivers tractable power and torque over the widest rpm range, so that you're "on the gas sooner" and shifting less. 100+ horsepower combined with the S4's light weight of 193 kg/423 lbs results in an inspiring power-to-weight ratio. The light-weight Superbike-derived trellis frame ensures confidence in turns. The suspension specifically developed for the Monster family features fully-adjustable front forks and rear shock.

A wide 180/55 ZR 17 rear tyre and a 120/70 ZR 17 front are mounted on super light Marchesini five spoke wheels

errr... nice meh? hahaha...

 

the tank so small, the mirror so ugly... the frame the pipes so HUGE... the gearbox also like no character, intake headers so ugly... black intake headers then chrome exhaust.. so eeeeeeeeee... haha... 250cc only then put one ugly BLACK radiator there... front mudguard so small, rear got to hugger... tires so narrow...

 

then the part where the tank meets the seat, looks like theres a piece of fairing thats missing... at least on the monster, the tank meets the seat at the sides... haha... pillios footrest that thing looks out of place... hahaha...

 

k... unfair judgement, cos i'm a ducati lover... hahaha...

 

but the bike really looks weird... like something missing... haha...

[FernandoLumTorres]

haha..its not so nice ah...its like too small to be naked...ahaha

[Guest nE0]

Its missing the Ducati word....

 

Otherwise, its a shameless ripoff, from the frame right down to the pillion footrest hangers...

[shoei]

single disc??

 

hum...

[Sols]

2 words..

 

DAMN UGLY

[Guest nE0]

Its not ugly IMO, its just a copy.

 

Imitation is the best form of flattery. Good work Honda! Try harder next time!

 

Btw, I'm sure a 400cc version of this VTR would beat the Monster hands down in terms of reliability, price, fuel economy and performance, not to mention much easier to maintain and service. But then again, it still lacks the certain charm only Ducati seems to be able to put into their Monsters.

[Sols]

yah lor... i look at it and its like missing something lah... but i jsut can't put a finger on it...

 

my design lecturer would say "No X-factor"

[Guest Jade]

Yes it is. Its quite popular in Australia, and some countrys where theres a 250cc limit.

 

We in SIngapore have a 400cc limit, so people tend to want to get the most power out of this capacity class. I'd say the Monster is slightly less powerful than a Hornet 250, so this VTR should be quite a good match.

[FernandoLumTorres]

u mean hornet is more pwrful den ducati ah... BTW can the no. of ppol owning ducati 999 be counted in singapore.

[FernandoLumTorres]
