The Monster was first introduced by Ducati way back in 1993 and needless to say, it has remained a dream of every naked streetbike lover since then. The 1200cc engined Monster 1200 S was unveiled at the 2013 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, Italy that replaced the Monster 1100 Evo. The current model comes powered by a 1,198.4 cc Testastretta 11° L-Twin, Desmodromic engine that cranks out a whopping 145bhp of power and 124.5Nm of torque.
