The Ducati Monster 1100 Officially Drops

Once again the Bologna motorcycle paparazzi have called it in advance — Today Ducati made all the new Monster speculation moot by announcing the 1100 and 1100S models well in advance of their International Motorcycle Show (INTERMOT) debut in Cologne on the October 8th.

Not so surprisingly both models share the 95bhp, 79.5lb/ft 1100cc air-cooled twin that lives in both the Hypermotard and the Multistrada. You can read more about the new models at the Ducati Monster Microsite or one of my personal fab-five sites, Hell for Leather.

Now that the 1100 has officially dropped, the question now is what Ducati has up its sleeves as the show-stopping ‘wow’ moment… Time will tell…
