  • 900cc model of Ducati's famous 'Monster' range
  • Fitted with a Piug flyscreen and carbon end cans
  • Supplied with 12 months MOT and a current V5C

Ducati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati, initially producing electrical components, but after the Second World War they moved into motorcycles and became famous for sporty small bikes. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic vee-twin bevel-drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs, with over 300,000 having been produced.


This 1997 Monster 900 has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last five years and has been his go-to bike for weekend runs. It is supplied in mostly standard condition, fitted with a Puig sports flyscreen and carbon-covered end cans. A well-equipped bike as standard, with Brembo brake callipers gripping a recent EBC front disc, together with upside-down front forks, one gets the character of a Ducati in a fairly simple package. The bike is fitted with a rare instrument cluster that incorporates a Rizom clock and will come with a fresh MOT, completed just prior to the auction, and a current V5C.
