While its large-capacity sports models were grabbing the headlines by dominating the World Superbike Championship, it was the relatively humble Monster that was Ducati's real success story, selling worldwide by the container-load and thus ensuring the Italian company's survival. Designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and introduced in 1993, the Monster single-handedly kick-started the continuing revival of 'naked' motorcycles. The fact that it was achieved by raiding the parts bin and combining the major components of existing models, only serves to underline the brilliance of Galluzzi's original concept. Thus the first M900 version used the air-cooled, two-valves-per-cylinder engine of the 900 Supersport and the chassis of the 851/888 Superbike. A 600 Monster arrived in 1994 and Ducati has continued to ring the changes on the engine front as the line up expanded to encompass a plethora of variants. The Monster in its many forms remains a cornerstone of the Ducati range to this day.

This Monster 1100 was purchased by the current vendor's late brother from Bikestrobe of Barnet, Hertfordshire in December 2016 (purchase invoice on file). First registered in the UK and then exported to Guernsey, it comes with a Guernsey Registration Certificate for '3144'. Well serviced and pampered, the machine has been dry stored and ridden regularly by the late owner. Currently displaying a total of only 5,881 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing/photography. The machine was last running in August 2023.

This Monster comes complete with its original book pack (including the stamped service book). The machine also comes with a copy of the V5C registration document for 'GN11 JZV'. It should be noted that Vehicle Registration Number 'GN11 JZV' has an 'Export' marker to the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding and will need to apply to the DVLA to retrieve the Vehicle Registration Number.

Also included in the sale is a paddock stand; bike cover; the original exhaust silencers (used); 'Rossi' body panels; and other sundry spares (close inspection advised). Other documentation includes some expired MoT certificates (most recent 2017); various Moto Rapido invoices/bills; and a receipt for the Rossi body panel kit. Two keys present.
