Title: Celebrating 30 years of Il Mostro
Post by: Randimus Maximus on March 05, 2023, 10:06:07 AM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe today is the 30th Anniversary of the first delivery of a Ducati Monster.

From a Ducati club on FB: "Today March 5, 2023 marks 30 years since the band's first Ducati Monster ran. On March 5, 1993 the first monster was born. The first monster with frame number 000001 was a red 904cc. It was gifted to the then F1 world champion Ayrton Senna.

Desmoclub fiandre don't let this birthday pass by. This summer on June 17, 2023 there will be a Ducati monster 30 year event, where we want to bring as many Ducati Monsters together as possible."

I remember seeing those strange (to me) naked bikes for the first time when I was in Italy in the late 90's. As I recall, I was infatuated with the TL1000 at the time...

Met Miguel Galluzzi and we discussed Monsters as he let me pour over serial # 000000 which was a gift to him from Ducati due to the success of the bike.

Serial # 000000 was the prototype he built and presented to management for approval.  It had CNC’d rearsets, a yellow 888 suspension hoop, oil cooler below the Horz head (like an SS) and many other subtle differences.
