Photoshoot of the Day: March 10th 2019 – Ducati Monster 797

The Ducati Monster (called Il Mostro in Italian) is a muscle bike designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and produced by Ducati in Bologna, Italy, since 1993. It is a naked bike, characterized by an exposed engine and frame. The trellis frame in the Ducati Monster is an integral part of the motorcycle’s design allowing for both aesthetic appeal and for structural efficiency. In 2005, Monster sales accounted for over half of Ducati’s worldwide sales. Ducati motorcycles use 90° V-twin engines, which they call L-twins, with desmodromic valves, and tubular steel trellis frame, designed by Fabio Taglioni (1920–2001).
The Monster 797 was unveiled in 2016 at the EICMA Motor Show in Milan. In 2017, Ducati launched the Monster 797 in India. This entry-level Monster is powered by an 803cc, Testastretta, twin-cylinder, air-cooled engine makes 73.9 hp (55.1 kW) and 69 N⋅m (51 lbf⋅ft). The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
