RetroSBK's founder William Kenefick built the Monster S4R.
Having won three of California's annual Del Mar Concours D'Elegance, the Ducati Island Concours at Laguna Seca, and building bespoke bikes for a highly exclusive clientele, Kenefick is conscious of his audience's exponential expectations.
Kenefick's view of the Monster S4R defined his task as “turning a hot, but overweight and out of shape housewife into a warrior queen.”
“Some people buy a Ducati and think that bolting on an aftermarket can, swapping the tires and adding all the fashionable performance bits is enough,” Kenefick says, “but every modification needs to be done with a profound understanding that includes the machine's purpose and the rider's intent, and their combined capabilities. Having raced, I know where the limits are—and they are beyond what most of us can ever experience. My goal is to build a bike that inspires the most expert to explore those limits.”
Where carbon fiber panels masked passable welds, and wayward wiring marred classic lines, Kenefick trimmed and tucked, smoothing the shapes and discarding the unnecessary. “By reducing weight and unsprung mass, we allow the bike to turn better, stop quicker and accelerate harder,” he explains, pointing to a plastic tub filled with parts removed—over 60 lbs worth. “The beautiful body was there. I just gave it the chance to show itself.”
The key issue in transforming the bike was matching the balance of engine and chassis to the upgraded performance. “The stock Monster can't get significant weight over the front wheel, so there is not enough front-end grip under acceleration,” he notes. “Usually people jack up the rear end, which creates spin. Our solution was to lengthen and stiffen the swingarm, increasing the angle of lift in the back of the bike. The wheelbase was also lengthened and the trail reduced. The bike now steers quicker and with less effort, the suspension is more controlled, and the overall ride is more composed.”.
It has one-off BT002 MotoGP compound race-quality tires with hand cut treads, custom made in Japan for the bike by Bridgestone, courtesy of Little Big Racing.
The wheels are bold, black and beautiful—forged magnesium from Germany's PVM. They are five pounds lighter than stock, yet add the visual heft missing from the factory edition.
Gunmetal-finish hard-anodized forks are rebuilt by Race Tech.
N triple clamps from SpeedyMoto with a wider offset, are eye-catching and efficient: the lower clamp, in particular, increases stiffness, giving the steering greater stability. The forks' diamond-like coating (actually a carbonized titanium nitride) is “super hard and creates very little friction,” Kenefick says.
Zero Gravity's jet fighter canopy Lexan replacement is aero-dynamically sculpted, mounted with titanium brackets that are rock solid.
Tokico calipers.
Stainless steel lines, pads and rotors from Galfer USA.
Polished the frame and roll-polished the welds, Applied Powder Coat in nearby Oxnard added a two-stage powdercoat with a chrome base and a translucent candy-apple red clear.
The tank, refinished by Airtrix in 16 coats of clear red lacquer.
“By optimizing the engine and fitting Ducati SPS performance cams, we've achieved an increase from 118 to 132 horsepower.”
SpeedyMoto water pump and crankshaft covers are anodized gunmetal.
Zero Gravity's Lexan belt covers .
Foot controls from Sato Racing.
LeoVince muffler from Italy.
Header is from Ducati Performance.
Handmade swingarm is the pezzo forte of Kenefick's neo-Monster. “A single-sided swingarm tends to flex laterally and most noticeably during application of the throttle, while leaned over,” he says. Gregg's Customs worked with Kenefick to devise a curved horseshoe-like shape with a main lower tube and trellises that mimic the frame. It is lighter and stiffer, delivering better high-speed stability.
“But with this set of modifications, it can take on just about anything on the street.
