Our most iconic bike is 25 years old. To celebrate, we've created the Monster 1200 25°Anniversario: a numbered edition limited to only 500 motorcycles.
Only 500 of the new Monster 1200 25th Anniversario bikes were produced, identified by a plate with progressive numbering applied to the frame.
The headlight fairing, tank and passenger seat cover of the Monster 1200 25th Anniversario feature a special three-color Italian flag livery inspired by the 2008 Monster S4RS Testastretta Tricolore. The line is also distinguished by a logo celebrating the bike's 25 years embroidered on the seat.
The Monster 1200 25th Anniversario boasts the best you could wish for on a naked sportbike, starting with the distinctive Marchesini forged rims with gold-colored W spokes. It also has a steel tube trellis frame and aluminium single-sided swinging arm combined with the fork with 48 mm diameter stems and a rear shock absorber, both Öhlins and fully adjustable.
Features may include:
EngineThe Monster 1200 25°Anniversario engine is the Testastretta 11° DS twin-cylinder, 1198 cm3 with 4 valves per cylinder, liquid cooled. Euro 4 type-approved it is the structural element of the suspension set-up with coupling points for the trellis frame.
Thanks to the new throttle body and the dedicated exhaust, the second generation Testastretta 11° DS engine generates a power which can be compared with that of a 3/4 cylinder engine and is able to reach even greater performance levels.
ChassisThe new Monster 1200 25° Anniversario is fitted with an adjustable seat (± 25 mm) that can adapt to the needs of riders all over the world. The standard seat height can easily be adjusted to the lowest (795 mm) or highest (820 mm) positions.
The Monster 1200 25° Anniversario features a strong die-cast aluminium single-sided swingarm that ensures high rigidity, low weight, and excellent stability, providing also a technical and professional look.
ElectronicsThe Monster 1200 25° Anniversario, in both the standard version and the S version, is equipped with the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) which, thanks to the Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrates the Bosch 9.1 MP Cornering ABS, the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and the Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) which contribute to highlighting the dynamic performance, optimising control and offering high levels of safety.
The headlight is another element which has always been characteristic of the Monster.
EquipmentThe Monster 1200 25th Anniversario is embellished with numerous billet aluminium details like mirrors, frame plugs, handlebar counterweights and the tank cap, the latter supplied as standard. Also in aluminium are the articulated brake and clutch levers and the number plate holder, while the front and rear mudguards, the ignition switch cover and the exhaust heat guard are made of carbon fiber.
The Marchesini rims of the new Monster 1200 25th Anniversario are forged with W spokes in the same color as the livery.
