  1. The unveiling of the new Monster 1200 R: the most powerful Ducati naked of all time

    The new Monster 1200 R has been unveiled by Claudio Domenicali, CEO of Ducati Motor Holding, during the Volkswagen Group Night in Frankfurt.

    With its 160 hp, the Monster 1200 R is the most powerful Ducati naked of all time. Its key features include the Testastretta 11° DS twin-cylinder engine in its “R” version (EURO 4 homologated) and a revised chassis to ensure maximum effect and enjoyment on track. In addition, the brand new design of the tail and front section confirm the sporting credentials of this new version of the Monster.

    Available in Ducati Red and Thrilling Black, the new Monster 1200 R will be on the market from early 2016.

    The Monster 1200 R will be exhibited for the very first time between 15 and 20 Septemberon the Audi booth at the 2015 IAA (Internationale Automobilausstellung) in Frankfurt.

    The new Monster 1200 R press kit is now available on Ducatipress.com and includes high res photos and texts.
     
  2. God I hate these Ducati teaser videos. The thing has been announced, now lets have a look at it, instead of a micro-second of interest.
     
  3. So is that it, no 899 replacement, no Streetfighter ? What an anti climax :(. Andy

  4. So it looks like the regular Monster 'pigeon-toed' ergonomic arrangement rather than anything new. Basically upping the power and maybe the toys to bring it in line with the Super Duke and S1000R. Price will go to 15K too.
     
  5. No they have changed the footrest arrangement as it has separate hangers for rider and passenger and there is a recess in the silencer so looks like a better setup

  8. Isn't the Diavel a "naked" which makes the Monster R the second most powerful ? Still disappointed :(. Andy
