The Ducati Monster was a standard or naked machine part of the Monster family created by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer in 1993. The Ducati Monster was manufactured in Bologna, Italy, and was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi.
Over time, the Monster family comprised numerous motorcycles with similar appearances and different engine displacements. In 2005, the Monster range accounted for more than half of Ducati's worldwide production, making the Monster a very popular machine.
In 2012, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Diesel Special Edition, a motorcycle made in collaboration with the clothing firm Diesel. Ducati and Diesel shook hands in 2011 when Diesel announced a sponsorship agreement with Ducati's MotoGP team.
The 2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Diesel Special Edition machine was delivered with a Diesel Brave Green color scheme. The bike's color matched perfectly with the blacked-out parts, such as the frame, engine, fork, fender, and exhaust system. In addition, the front brake caliper and the rear shock spring were painted yellow.
In other departments, the special edition machine was identical to the standard 1100 EVO model, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications.
The bike's power came from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine, with a fuel injection system in charge with the pistons, delivering an output power of 100 hp at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
