DUCATI Supermono Street Version (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Supermono was a lightweight machine manufactured from 1993 to 1995 in only 65 units. The bike was powered by a single-cylinder engine and was named after the Supermono racing class. At the time, the motorcycle featured an MSRP of $30,000.

In 2009, the British engineer Alistar Wager who worked at Ducati for many years and who ran the HMC Ducati AMA Superbike team in 2001, designed and developed a new Supermono machine with a larger, more powerful engine and an updated chassis that was also street legal.

The 2009 Ducati Supermono Street Version used the Testastretta cylinder head of the Ducati 999R, Pankl forged titanium con-rods, a hardened and balanced crankshaft, larger inlet and exhaust valves, and a lot of other mods, providing eight hp more than the older model.

In the visual department, the 2009 machine packed a full fairing with two headlights, mirrors, turn signals, a small windscreen, a single seat, a single exhaust system mounted on the right side of the bike, and ten-spoke gold-finished wheels.

The 2009 Ducati Supermono Street Version had its soul brought to life by a 549cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a new Magneti Marelli fuel injection system, boasting 75 hp with a peak force at 10,000 rpm and 50 Nm (37 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
