2014 Ducati Monster 1200
With the Monster 1200, Ducati focuses more on everyday rideability, letting the Streetfighter take on the sportiest naked bikes on the market. The air-cooled Desmodromic twin-cylinder makes way for the new, race-derived, 1,198cc Testastretta, which has been tuned to deliver more torque and greater agility. The Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) includes Bosch ABS and 3-mode traction control.
Purists will prefer the Monster S with Öhlins forks and shock.
