The 1996 Ducati Monster 900 is an iconic naked sport motorcycle designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi that defined the modern streetfighter class through its minimalist, stripped-down aesthetic. Built as a clever "parts-bin special" by combining a tubular steel trellis frame derived from the 851/888 superbike with a punchy 904cc air-cooled, SOHC desmodromic 90-degree L-twin engine lifted from the 900SS, it produces 73 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 76 Nm (56 lb-ft) of torque. Weighing a dry 184–185 kg (405–407 lbs) and featuring a low 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height, a six-speed manual transmission with a signature dry multi-plate clutch, Showa inverted front forks, and Brembo-sourced dual 320mm front disc brakes,
