Ducati Monster 1200 R

Can’t afford a supercar? No worries, you could settle for two wheels too! Ducati has decided to make every speed fanatic happy by introducing the ‘Monster 1200 R’ motorcycle, the most powerful member of its family. Designed for all those who consider sports bikes a family member, this bike will offer an adrenaline-packed experience.

The Ducati Monster 1200 R has been equipped with a twin cylinder engine that outputs 160 hp. Compact and lightweight, this Ducati bike impresses through a higher stance that’s perfect for extreme lean angles, which means more fun, and more stress on those Pirelli tires. The bike also features advanced suspension systems and steering dampers.

Ducati made sure this bike is light, by making use of carbon fiber components and forged wheels. So, it’s fast, it’s practical, but what about the looks? The exclusive character of this model is easily reflected by the incredible attention to detail the team has put into building this bike: the radiator metal covers have an ‘R’ graphic obtained by sand blasting, while the bi-material seat has contrasting seams and a metal plate bearing the name of the model.

I guess once you look at this bike, you either hate it, or love it. My advice is to listen to that engine roar before making up your mind.
