Monster 1100S | 2009 Ducati SOLD
The Monster (informally called Il Mostro in Italian) was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and is characterized by an exposed engine and frame. The deliberate use of the trellis frame in the Ducati monster as an integral part of the motorcycle's design allowing for both aesthetic appeal and for structural efficiency. In 2005, Monster sales accounted for over half of Ducati's worldwide sales. Ducati motorcycles use almost exclusively 90° V-Twin engines, which they call L-twins, with desmodromic valves, and tubular steel trellis frame, features designed by Fabio Taglioni.
Since the beginning, Ducati's creation awed the crowds and the world's media of that year's Cologne International Motorcycle show. The 900 Monster was a motorcycle that created a truly new niche - dramatically styled, minimalist in stature yet bristling with innovative engineering solutions.
Weighing 373 pounds dry, only 18 pounds more than the 696, and developing 95 hp at 7,500 rpm and 75,9 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm, the big Monsters have the power to weight ratio on their side.
The Monster's radical styling has also provided the inspiration for an entire after-market sector specializing in hot-rod parts for this legendary machine. For this reason, rarely do you see two Monsters the same. This radical and refreshing design departure also influenced other manufacturers but, as the old adage states: imitation is the highest form of flattery...
