PLACEHOLDER: COLD START/REV VIDEO
Introduced as the flagship of Ducati’s naked bike lineup, the Monster 1200 S combined traditional features like a muscular stance and exposed trellis frame with updates into the modern era including premium suspension, advanced electronics, and superbike rivaling performance. In 2017, Ducati gave the 1200 and 1200 S an overhaul, making them more powerful and agile. Both got larger 56mm throttle bodies and new cylinder heads, improving the compression ratio from 12.5:1 to 13:1. Horsepower was bumped up to 150 @ 9,250 rpm and the torque was claimed at 93 lb-ft @ 7,750 rpm.
The S model elevated the package further with fully adjustable Öhlins suspension and Brembo M50 monobloc brakes, giving the Monster handling and stopping power to match its performance. Reviewers praised the bike’s balance of comfort, agility, and excitement, with MCN calling it the best Monster Ducati had ever produced. Bridging the gap between retro-inspired roadsters and modern supernakeds, the Monster 1200 S remains one of the most engaging and versatile performance motorcycles of its era.
This one stands out as it’s been heavily modified by our friends at Roland Sands Design – they say “the Ducati Monster is one of those machines that you can’t help but want to tweak.” Details of the build are available on their site, but their summary is: “Our version of the Monster started out as a 2019 Ducati Monster 1200 S with all the high performance goodies. The owner didn’t’ want to lose any of the stock bikes function, but wanted to upgrade parts, lose a little weight and do a bit of a classic rewind with a standard round headlight conversion and tracker inspired tail. He spends a lot of time riding with a group of guys on Harley’s, but a Harley was not his bag. Different degrees of a V-twin as it is, but he wanted to throw a little flash at the bike as well. Call it a Classic Canyon Carver Custom.”
