Launched in 1993, the Monster has been described as "the machine that saved Ducati". Designed by Miguel Galluzzi, it was a breakaway from the company's established sporting style with its cruiser style and proved to be very popular; by 2005 the model accounted for half the Bologna factory's sales. The very first of the line was the M900, its trellis frame, 904cc vee-twin engine ("L-twin" in the factory's preferred words) and six-speed transmission offering performance and handling not normally associated with such a style of machine, but it proved to be a winning formula. In the vendor's possession for ten years, this fine example has been completely rebuilt, the power unit being entrusted to specialist Steve Jordan of Leatherhead, Surrey. The paintwork was applied by Kas Racepaint of Kettering, Northamptonshire, and the only deviation from standard in the rolling chassis was the fitting of an Ohlins rear shock absorber and the small fairing. It has a recorded mileage of 20,378 and comes complete with the service book and owner's manual. The overall appearance of this attractively customised machines reflects the pride of ownership and careful maintenance it has been given by the vendor. Offered with V5C Registration Certificate.
