Ducati 1200 and 1200 S pricing
Following the recent international launch, Ducati Australia has announced pricing for what's shaping as the gnarliest Monster ever – more than 20 years after the originalDucati Australia has announced pricing for the Testastretta-engined Monster 1200 and 1200 S:
- Monster 1200 - $19,990 plus on-road costs
- Monster 1200S - $23,990 plus on-road costs
The 1200 and 1200S will be powered by the company’s 1198 Testastretta 11 engine, evoking memories of power-packed past models such as the S4R and S4RS.
The Monster 1200s have high-spec brakes and suspension, a single-sided swingarm, lightweight wheels, adjustable seat height, TFT instrumentation, eight-level traction control, three-level anti-lock braking and three-level ride-by-wire riding modes.
There’s a larger fuel tank, slim waist and compact headlamp, which Ducati likens to “the overall silhouette of a powerful bull ready to charge”. Finishing touches include transparent master cylinder reservoirs.
The S model produces 145hp with 12.7kg-m of torque, and tips the scales at 182kg.
The Monster 1200 is presented in Ducati red with red frame and black wheels, while the Monster 1200 S offers Ducati red with red frame and glossy black wheels in addition to white with bronze-coloured frame and glossy black wheels.
The Monster 1200 was voted “Most Beautiful Bike of Show” at the 2013 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, ahead of the MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800.
