Monster Lineage:
The Monster series began in 1993 and has evolved through various engine sizes and chassis configurations. The S2R models represent a more performance-oriented iteration within the Monster family.
S2R Specifics:
The S2R designation typically denotes a sportier variant with upgraded suspension and twin-sided swingarms (unlike the single-sided swingarm found on some other Monster models). The 800cc engine was a popular displacement for a balance of performance and usability.
Production Period Estimate:
The S2R 800 was produced for several years, with the 2006 model being part of this generation.
