Ducati Monster 1200
La Ducati Monster 1200 se presentó en 2014 como una evolución significativa de la gama Monster, sustituyendo a la Monster 1100 EVO por un motor bicilíndrico Testastretta 11° más potente y una electrónica moderna. Representó un gran avance para la serie Monster, ya que ofrecía el control de tracción, el ABS y los modos de conducción Ducati por primera vez en una Monster desnuda. Le siguieron las variantes 1200 S y R, que la consolidaron como la moto más emblemática de la gama Ducati, hasta que finalmente se retiró gradualmente hacia 2021 en favor de la Monster 937.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Desmodromic Valve Service
The Testastretta 11° engine requires desmodromic valve adjustments every 18,000 miles — a specialized service that can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealer. Always verify this maintenance is up to date before buying used.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Ducati Monsters typically lose 20–30% of their value within the first two years, making a 2–3 year old used example a strong value buy. Resale stabilizes considerably after that initial drop.
Watch the Clutch Slave
The hydraulic clutch slave cylinder is a known weak point on early Monster 1200 models and can develop leaks over time. It's an inexpensive fix but inspect for any fluid seepage around the unit before purchasing.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"Flawed, expensive, and completely impossible to resist buying."
$8,500-$14,000 usedThe Monster 1200 is a genuinely brilliant motorcycle that'll absolutely ruin you for anything sensible. That 1198cc L-twin punches hard from idle, pulls like a freight train mid-range, and sounds absolutely filthy through the Termignoni cans that most previous owners have already fitted. Handling is sharp without being nervous — this is a proper motorcycle that rewards commitment rather than punishing it. Here's the thing nobody tells you upfront: Ducati servicing costs are real. Budget £400-600 for desmo valve clearance checks every 18,000 miles, and they cannot be skipped. Check service history religiously. Pre-2016 bikes ran dry clutches that chatter and drag in traffic — annoying but fixable. Wet clutch models from 2016 onward are dramatically nicer to live with daily. Electronics package on S models is genuinely excellent, not gimmicky.
