The Ducati Monster 1200 was a standard or naked machine part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993 and grew to include several models with similar appearances and different engine displacements.
The Monster 1200 was presented at the EICMA Show in Italy and launched in 2013 as a replacement for the Monster 1100 EVO. The Monster 1200 was powered by a new 1,198cc Testastretta 11 engine and was the most powerful Monster model until it was replaced by the 1200R in 2016.
Along with the 1200 standard model, Ducati made available the Monster 1200 S, which had a performance package that boosted the performance figures and several design modifications, such as machined wheels, a carbon fiber mudguard on the front, Brembo brakes, and a race-derived Ohlins suspension.
In 2015, alongside the standard and S models, the Monster line-up was extended with a new machine named Ducati Monster 1200S Stripe. It sharpened the sports character of Ducati's naked machines and was available with 821cc and 1200 S engines.
In addition, the 2015 Ducati Monster 1200S brought an exclusive red color scheme with a white double-side stripe from the front mudguard through the fuel tank all the way to the rear passenger seat cowl. It also featured a red frame, black-finished wheels, a red-painted nose fairing, a windscreen, and carbon fiber belt covers.
In the power department, the 2015 Ducati Monster 1200 S Stripe had the same performance specifications as the S model, with a 1,198cc liquid-cooled L-twin engine that delivered 145 hp at 8,750 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.
