The new Monster S 1200 fully embodies those values that have seen bikers’ hearts race for over 20 years. A sports icon that is totally renewed while staying faithful to the values that have made it unique: even more beautiful, even more technological, still unmistakably Monster. A forward-looking icon With full, fluid power delivery at all speeds and maximum power of 150 hp guaranteed by the Testastretta 11° engine, the Monster 1200 offers the enjoyment and excitement of an authentic sports bike. Its muscular line, trellis frame and unmistakeable elements such as the tank and headlight confirm its status as a modern icon, ready to write the future of naked sportbikes. A contemporary icon The new Monster 1200 reinterprets and modernises the original concept of the naked sports bike. The tank fastener hook, the trellis frame with larger pipes for increased rigidity, and the classic round headlight, iconic but current and with DRL technology on the S version, all ensure it is unmistakeably, 100% Monster. Compact and sporty The new Monster 1200 expresses and updates the concept of the authentic naked sports bike, while retaining the shapes, tank and headlight of the bike created in 1993. The compact proportions and short, narrow rear end make it sporty, as do the new rider footpegs, separate from those of the passenger. A compact and muscular bike ready to offer pure enjoyment. SPORTS ENJOYMENT Pure riding enjoyment A powerful, full engine, compact dimensions, an efficient chassis, and top of line electronic equipment all ensure maximum riding enjoyment and maximum safety. Agile, sporty ergonomics The short rear end, with its compact, narrow lines, supported by the steel trellis frame, bears the seat, height-adjustable with two positions (795 and 820mm), as well as the passenger footpegs, now separate from those of the rider. This new configuration gives the Monster 1200 a sporty line while also improving its ergonomics. The wheelbase and swingarm are shortened for maximum handling and speed during changes of direction.
