2017 Ducati Monster 1200 R

Few build a naked bike with more personality and bad boy sport attitude than Ducati with its Monster. Throughout its 23-year history, the Monster has become the rowdy but lovable face of the Italian brand. This spring, Ducati writes a new chapter of speed with its R-spec 1200 Unmistakably Monster, aggressively racing. The Monster 1200 R makes an immediate impact with its sporty, compact and lightweight lines. The typical Monster design of the tank blends with the sporty lines of the rear section that, thanks also to the new compact, lightweight frame, immediately conveys an idea of power and dynamism. The tailpiece is aerodynamic, pointing upwards, while the seat - one single piece for rider and passenger - is shorter and slimmer. The licence plate holder, fixed in a high position, means the 200/55 tyre is clearly visible, mounted on a three-spoke forged wheel, inspired by that of the Panigale R. The dimensions of the new Monster 1200 R offer more space even to taller riders. The sporty riding style is enhanced with separate passenger footpegs that offer more space when riding, pushing on ones toes and lengthening the knee towards the ground. The personality of the Monster 1200 is emphasised by the forged wheels. Created in alloy, forged and then machined, both the front and rear wheels boast the same design, with the 3-spoke Y of the Panigale S/R. The front mudguard, in carbon fibre, and footpeg supports, in forged aluminium, help contribute to a total dry weight of just 180 kg.
