Ducati 999, 1098, 1198 y Monster: libros - historia

The Ducati Monster Bible (New Updated & Revised Edition)

When Ducati unleashed Galluzzi's Monster at the Cologne Show at the end of 1992, few expected it to become Ducati's most successful model. Dramatically styled, minimalist in stature, yet bristling with innovative engineering, the 900 Monster created a new niche market.

A multi-faceted machine, the Monster bridged the gap between racetrack-oriented sports bikes and cruisers. Here was a naked motorcycle that was as much a performance machine as it was a cruiser.
The Monster's radical styling has also been the inspiration for a large after-market industry, providing cosmetic and performance accessories, and with engine capacities ranging from 400 to 1200cc there really is a Monster for everyone.

This book provides a fascinating guide through the maze of Monsters produced over the past 21 years. Full description of development model by model and complete appendices of technical specifications.

Ducati Mostro, Monster - des 400 cm³ aux 1100 cm³ - 20 ans de modèles d'exception

Lorsque Ducati a dévoilé la Monster de Galluzzi au Salon de Cologne à la fin de 1992, personne ne pensait qu'elle deviendrait le modèle le plus vendu de Ducati. Avec son style audacieux, sa stature minimaliste et sa conception innovante, la 900 Monster créait dans le marché une nouvelle niche.
Machine multi-facettes, elle comblait le vide entre les sportives issues de la compétition et les motos de grand tourisme, offrant sous un aspect dépouillé un mélange des qualités des unes et des autres. Le style radical de la Monster a été une source d'inspiration pour l'industrie des accessoires, qui se sont multipliés pour améliorer les performances et modifier l'allure de cette moto unique. Avec des cylindrées allant de 400 à 1 100 cm³, cela a permis de créer une Monster véritablement adaptée aux goûts de chacun.

Cet ouvrage constitue un guide fascinant dans la quantité de modèles de Monster produits depuis dix-huit ans.

Ducati Monster - Alle Twins seit 1993

Ende der 80er glaubte kaum noch jemand ans wirtschaftliche Überleben der Twins von Ducati. Das Unternehmen schien zu klein, um sich gegenüber der schier übermächtigen Konkurrenz aus Japan behaupten zu können.
Aus der Not heraus wurde dann die Monster-Baureihe geboren, geformt aus bekannten, aber geschickt zusammengesetzten Komponenten. Die Monster holten Ducati aus der Nische und sind die meistverkauften Motorräder aus Borgo Panigale.

Ian Falloon erzählt in dieser Monster-Bibel alles, was es über dieses Thema zu wissen gibt, und stellt sämtliche Modelle und Baureihen mit ihren technischen Eigenheiten bis ins Jahr 2016 vor.

Ducati Monster - 20th Anniversary

The Ducati Monster is a really important part of motorcycling's panorama of recent decades. The machine appeared at the end of 1992 and sparked off a new trend in the so-called 'naked' - in other words, without fairing - segment of the market.
With the Monster, powered by its famous and prestigious L-shaped engine, Ducati offered enthusiasts a bike that combined a comfortable ride with outstanding performance. And the offer was positively received, not only by the Bolognese company's fans. So it is no coincidence that 260,000 Monsters have been sold over the last 20 years, mostly in the United States, France, Germany and Spain as well as Italy. The bike celebrates the 20th year of its presence in the marketplace.

This book covers those 20 years of history, availing itself of a wealth of illustrative material made available by Ducati.
