In 1996 Ducati introduced the Monster 750. Filling the gap between the Monster 600 and 900, the Monster 750 uses the 750SS engine in an 888 derived frame and SS suspension package, five speed gearbox and single front disc.
The Ducati monster’s 750SS engine was detuned to provide more midrange grunt for this urban roadster motorcycle. “Healthy torque means easy fun in town without millions of gear changes, whilst the powerband is perfectly suited for blasting down twisty lanes, too.” – MCN
The 750 has all the style and handling performance of the smaller Monster 600, while its larger engine offers more satisfying power delivery, (almost as much as the 900), but with lower cost and less weight. The stiff frame and firm suspension give a sporty ride, while wide handlebars and a low centre of gravity allow easy, nimble handling.
Manufactured in November 1997, this example is VIN: ZDM1RC3L5WB003396.
The odometer shows 2,872 miles.
