The
Monster (informally called
Il Mostro in
Italian) is a
motorcycle designed by
Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced by
Ducati Motor Holding in
Bologna, Italy since 1993. It is a
naked bike, characterized by an exposed engine and frame.
[1][2][3] The delibrate use of the trellis frame in the Ducati monster as an integral part of the motorcycle's design allowing for both aesthetic appeal and for structural efficiency.
[4] In 2005, Monster sales accounted for over half of Ducati's worldwide sales. Ducati motorcycles use almost exclusively 90°
V-Twin engines, which they call L-twins, with
Desmodromic valves, and tubular steel trellis
frame, features designed by
Fabio Taglioni (1920–2001).

In November 2010, Ducati announced the Monster 1100 EVO, replacing the Monster 1100 and 1100s. Some noticeable changes: movement of the exhaust to the side as opposed to underneath the seat, and from a dry clutch to a wet clutch. Also, there was a change in the paint schemes.
[11] Another major change is the inclusion of Ducati Safety Package (DSP) which is standard with the motorcycle. This DSP consists of ABS and Ducati Traction Control.

As of November 2010
[update], the Ducati Monster family consists of the 696, 796 and 1100 EVO.
