In the early 90s, Ducati took the motorcycle world by storm when they introduced the Monster, a groundbreaking model that combined a sporty frame with a straightforward engine design. This innovative concept would go on to define the naked bike segment for years to come. Fast forward to 2008, and Ducati took the Monster to…
In the early 90s Ducati stunned the motorcycle community with the launch of the Monster. The combination of sporty frame and simple engine was an instant hit.
