MONSTER RACES TO AN HISTORIC MILESTONE

THE biggest-selling family of motorcycles in Ducati’s history, the Monster, has reached a significant milestone with the delivery of its 350,000th model.

The machine is a Monster 1200 S “Black on Black”, which Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali and design chief Andrea Ferraresi personally delivered to its new owner.

The bike was personalised with a plate bearing the number 350,000 and was delivered to the owner accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Domenicali and a sketch of the Monster signed by the designer Angelo Amato.

The Monster is the biggest selling Ducati model of all time, as well as the longest-serving motorcycle in the range.

Its legend was created in 1992 when the company had the intuition of putting on the road a

Ducati with a Superbike chassis stripped of the fairings and all elements not strictly necessary.

With the launch of the M900 model, the first Monster ever, Ducati was able to give rise to a new segment of the motorcycle market – the sports naked - creating a bike that has represented a benchmark for several generations.
