DUCATI Monster 1200 (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

Ducati had numerous Monster variations over the years, counting as many as nine different versions in one single year. In Ducati’s Monster large family there is always room for new models. Picking a spot in the range is the naked 2016 Monster 1200.

The 2016 model takes its energy from the 1198cc Testastretta liquid-cooled engine, and transforms it into 128 hp at 9,000 rpm and 111 Nm (82 lb-ft) of torque at 6.500 rpm. At the back, twin aluminum mufflers reduce the screams coming out of the powerplant.

The Monster 1200 is built on a tubular steel Trellis frame and comes with a 43 mm fully adjustable front fork and a fully adjustable monoshock suspension at the back. Attached to the suspension are the 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels dressed in a pair of Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires.

The braking power of the Monster 1200 comes from Brembo 320 mm discs at the front, and a 245 mm disc at the back. As standard equipment, the Monster comes with Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), which includes Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and ABS.

The 2016 Ducati Monster 1200 has a dry weight of 182 kg (401 lbs) and has an estimated top speed of 241 kph (150 mph).

In 2022, the 2016 Monster 1200 was for sale with prices ranging from $9,000 to $ 10,000 as a used motorcycle.
