30 Years of the Monster

[Fatfatboy]

The Munster is turning 30 this year and Ducati is celebrating with a special edition Muster that is the lightest bike to ever have that name. At 406 pounds it's 8 pounds lighter than the standard. This is done by lighter Ohlins forks, Brembo brakes and the forged wheel that are lighter than the standard items.
The forged wheels are 3-1/2 pounds lighter than the standards wheels which decreases the moment of inertia by over 21% on the front wheel and 26.9% on the rear.

I was taken back that a measly 3.5 pounds could make that much of a difference.

Just because it's a special edition it doesn't mean maintenance needs to go up. With oil changes at nearly 10,000 miles apart and valve adjustments at 19,000 miles it's not a high maintenance model.

Price is around $18,000.00USD and there's only 500 of them being made so get your deposit in quick.

I still say the pre 2014 Monsters are the better looking Monsters.
I'd like to own one for a try. A M750 will do just fine.
