EU-spec 2023 Ducati Monster SP

Introduced in 1992, the Ducati M900 ? which became more commonly known as the Ducati Monster ? is the bike that many consider to be the establishing shot of the naked bike story.

The Monster has seen numerous iterations over the years, and Ducati says its newest addition to the lineup, the Ducati Monster SP, is ?designed to enhance fun, thanks to technical equipment perfect for those who love sporty riding and embellish style with the Moto GP-inspired livery.?
