There will be a bit of a treat coming from Ducati at the Volkswagen Group Night on Sept 14th, 2015. Duc will be unveiling the most powerful Ducati naked bike ever! There is no information other than this teaser image from Duc, and we all know how good they are at keeping a secret over there.

The liquid cooled Monster 1200 R looks to be based off of the same Monster chassis, but with that 1200 turned all the way up to 11, we should be in for a great bike.

Can not wait to see the rest of the bike and the specs on it. This sounds to be promising already though...

:yo::ahhh:

Maybe they included a gear indicator this time.

 

[ChasT]

New foot pegs ;-)

All I know is if they make a better version than the 821 stripe I'm going to be fucking LIVID.

I said for years come out w an 899r or at least some better model and I'll buy it and now there doing up an even better version that the forged wheels ohlins 1200 stripe?? Bullshit.

Hope it's the best thing ever and they don't sell any and lose money on it

That R radiator end plate would look good on my 821 Dark :lovebirds:

 

[ChasT]

New foot pegs ;-)

Got that one right :drummer:

Has anyone found US pricing for this??

 

[7 Summits]

I heard around $18k.

 

[Aussie_Bob]

What exactly is making it an 'R' ??

 

[mtb]

What exactly is making it an 'R' ??

There was already an S?

 

[Smooshy Smoosherson]

160 horses

 

[Aussie_Bob]

160 horses

Like a Multistrada? Because it's the same motor.

 

[Smooshy Smoosherson]

Something is different with the engine. Probably with the throttle bodies or something to that effect.

 

[mtb]

More compression and larger oval shaped throttles.

R badge......

It will need to be proper trick to carry the 'R' badge...!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

 

[bushyar15]

I wish the 'R' was available when I bought my "S" stripe. I'd have opted for it…

 

[Donger]

Still cheap-out on the rear shock du511 instead of the TTX, rip-off for a letter R, a carbon tail/fender, and a badge.

 

[bushyar15]

You forgot forged wheels, Ohlins steering damper, 160 hp vs. 145, increased cornering ground clearance, better foot pegs and separate passenger pegs, micro fairing, tail tidy, headlamp turn signals…

Price that stuff out and add it to your "S" model and its way more than the 3k sticker price (based on rumors the "R" will be around 18.5k) difference between the "S" and the "R". Its an option for those that want those features.

Still cheap-out on the rear shock du511 instead of the TTX, rip-off for a letter R, a carbon tail/fender, and a badge.

There's a good review here ---> Ducati Monster 1200R review

...which includes a price of 15,250 pounds sterling. That comes out to $23,167.00 but the price in the US might not be a straight conversion.
