It all started in 1993 when the Italian motorcycle manufacturer created the Monster family. The firstborn child was the Monster 900, a naked or standard machine manufactured in Bologna, Italy, and designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi.
The Monster motorcycle was a very popular machine, which in 2005 accounted for more than half of Ducati's worldwide production. The Monster range included many motorcycles with different engine displacements but similar appearances.
The Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO, a naked motorcycle that debuted in 2011 and continued production until 2013. The bike featured a slightly more powerful engine, a wet clutch, and a low, side-mounted exhaust system.
In 2012, the maker released the second consecutive Monster 1100 EVO, a machine without any modifications compared to the previous model. The bike also featured a Ducati Safety Pack comprised of Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
In the performance department, the 2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO had its heartbeat set by a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 100 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The bike was built around a tubular steel Trellis frame with a 43 mm fully adjustable upside-down Marzocchi fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling capabilities.
