NEW MONSTER
DIESEL
A brave colour combination combined with dedicated special parts which feature a military inspired design, transform the Monster 1100 EVO into the Monster Diesel. The Monster Diesel, designed by Diesel’s fashion stylists guided by Diesel founder Renzo Rosso himself features an eye catching military chic style. Set against the black treatment of Ducati’s Trellis frame, wheels, engine covers, exhaust system and forks, the exclusive ‘Diesel Brave Green matte’ livery delivers a rugged military vehicle feel, while front brake callipers are finished in shocking yellow to make a strong reminder of the model’s performance heritage. Due in store in July 2012, the new model is priced at £10,690 pre-order now to avoid dissappointment.

RECORD SPEED FOR JESSOPP’S DUCATI Martin Jessopp achieved a record breaking 208mph through the speed trap on the Riders Motorcycles.com Ducati at the recent North West 200. After Jessopp’s toe curling top speed and 2nd row start he finished the race between the towns of Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine in 12th position. Some of the high performance parts fitted by our own technicians on Jessopp’s Ducati 1098 are also available for today’s superbikes. Why not ask our team about performance parts for your very own Ducati - we don’t recommend you try and beat Jessopp’s top speed though!
