DUCATI Monster 1100 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Monster 900 was a naked or standard motorcycle first released in 1993 and the first member of the Monster family. The bike was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and was produced in Bologna, Italy.

The Monster range grew to comprise numerous motorcycles with different engine displacements but similar appearances. At one point in 2005, the Monster models accounted for more than half of Ducati's worldwide production of motorcycles.

One model in the range was the Ducati Monster 1100, a naked machine announced in 2008 and released in 2009. The bike was based on the 696 model and came with a larger engine, a single-sided swingarm, radial brake calipers, a larger fork, and a taller suspension.

In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 1100, a motorcycle in its second year of production slightly different from earlier Monster models.

In the appearance department, compared to previous models, the 2010 Monster 1100 packed a dual exhaust system with twin mufflers mounted under the seat, a redesigned headlight, and several modifications for a more modern look.

In the power departments, the 2010 Ducati Monster 1100 had its soul brought to life by a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled engine, which was the most powerful air-cooled unit at the time, boasting 95 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
