2018 DUCATI MONSTER 1200 S

This super clean bike. GP will perform the 18K Desmo service with purchase. The Monster 1200 S sharpens that Monster sports performance to an even finer edge thanks to premium componentry such as the sophisticated Öhlins suspensions and the Brembo M50 braking system. Moreover, the Monster 1200 S features wheels with three Y-spokes and exclusive “S” graphics as well as a front carbon mudguard. The front headlight with the DRL (Daytime Running Light) system and LED indicators complete the as-standard features. The new Ducati Monster 1200 captures the essence of the original iconic Monster: the real naked sports bike. It evolves with a compact, light and sleek design, a powerful yet smooth engine and a world-class equipment. Its sporty attitude and class-leading performance deliver pure riding fun. Ducati goes back to its Monster roots, but with a motorcycle that’s new in both form and function. When Ducati designers started working on the new Monster 1200, they drew their inspiration from the basics behind that ground-breaking 1993 model: the concept of a “sport naked bike”. The Monster 1200 is packed with new design and content, but with true Ducati naked flair. Available also as a higher-performance S version, the Monster 1200 has a sleeker tank, a fully redesigned sports-style tail, an all-new technologically advanced headlight and a first-rate electronics package derived from the one on the 1299 Panigale. The Monster 1200 is Monster through and through. Shaping, silhouettes, fuel tank and headlight are faithful to the lines of the bike that came out in 1993. The iconic, unmistakable steel tank has once again been fitted with an attachment clip, just like the first Monster. The Monster 1200 features the latest version of the Testastretta 11° DS engine, ensuring not just outstanding power and torque but also full, smooth power delivery right off the bottom end. When combined with an always-smooth, easy-to-handle throttle response, the result is pure riding enjoyment. The twin-cylinder Ducati power unit on the Monster 1200 delivers 150 hp at 9,250 rpm (15 hp more than the previous Monster 1200 and 5 hp more than the previous Monster 1200 S)
