DUCATIMonster 796 20th Anniversary 2013 - 2014

　　In 1992, at the Cologne Motorcycle Show, Ducati introduced the Monster 900, the first model that started the Monster range, being released in 1993. Soon, the range grew to include several models with similar appearances and different displacement engines.

　　In 2013, to celebrate 20 years of Monster production, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 796 20th Anniversary, a special edition naked machine that packed the same specifications as the standard Monster 796 but with visual modifications.

　　The 2013 Anniversary edition packed the Ducati red livery with a bronze-finished frame and was further enhanced by gold-colored brake calipers and disc carriers. In addition, the headlamp support had a chrome finish, and the triple clamp, fork bottoms, and swingarm were finished in grey.

　　Besides its visual effects, the 2013 Ducati Monster 796 20th Anniversary edition packed the same features and specifications as the standard model, including the engine, braking, suspension systems, and six-speed transmission.

　　The machine was powered by an 803cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine, fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 87 hp with a peak force at 8,250 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 5,250 rpm.

　　The engine power was sent to a six-speed manual transmission and then to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to 200 kph (125 mph).
