The Ducati Monster underwent a full-fledged transformation in 2021. Shedding its iconic trellis frame in favor of a Panigale V4-inspired monocoque unit, the made-over Monster found a new sense of lightness and rigidity. The Bologna engineers didn’t stop there either. The naked bike also adopted the firm’s trusty 937cc Testastretta V-twin and Panigale-derived electronics.
Despite those technical upgrades, many longtime fans believed Ducati traded in the Monster’s curb appeal for mass appeal. That’s not the case with the 2023 Monster SP. Except, this Monster’s appeal has to do with track curbing.
