Overview
The Ducati Monster 1200 is a naked motorcycle; the profiles covered on this page run from 2014 to 2016. For 2016, its liquid-cooled, naturally aspirated 1,198 cm³ V-twin makes 137 hp (102 kW) at 8,750 rpm and 118 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm. It weighs 209 kg wet and 182 kg dry.
The 785 mm seat height keeps the seat relatively low, while the 209 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage at walking pace. Its 17.5 L tank gives a calculated full-tank range of about 284 km. Power peaks at 8,750 rpm, so the engine needs to rev to deliver its maximum output.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Fully adjustable front forks and rear monoshock let riders tailor the suspension to their preferences.
ABS braking
ABS works with the dual 320 mm front discs and 245 mm rear disc to help prevent wheel lock during hard braking.
Slipper clutch
Its slipper action helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Wet weight
At 209 kg wet, the Monster can feel cumbersome when maneuvering at very low speeds.
