DUCATI Monster 600 (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Monster story began in 1992 at the International Motorcycle Fair in Cologne, where the Italian motorcycle manufacturer presented the Ducati Monster prototype. The bike was designed by Miguel Angel Galuzzi and entered production in 1993.

In the first generation, Ducati introduced three models, the M900, launched in 1993; the M600, released in 1994; and the M750, which came later in 1996. The numbers present in the name represented the displacement size.

In addition to the three models, the manufacturer launched a smaller 400cc version in 1994, a bike produced for specific markets with high taxes or license systems for larger displacement or powerful machines.

In 1995, the Italian motorcycle maker launched the Ducati Monster 600, the smaller brother of the Monster 900. In its second year of production, the bike came without any significant modification, packing the same technical and performance specifications as the previous model.

The bike came equipped with standard features, such as a large, round headlight, a large fuel tank, a one-piece single seat, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, a tubular steel Trellis frame, and three-spoke lightweight cast aluminum wheels.

As for the power figures, the 1995 Ducati Monster 600 was brought set in motion by a 583cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 53 hp at 8,250 rpm and 47 Nm (35 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.
