About
The Ducati Monster 1100 is a robust and stylish motorcycle that leverages Ducatis iconic L-twin engine technology. With a 1078cc air-cooled engine producing 95 horsepower and 76 lb-ft of torque, it offers impressive performance and a distinctive sound. The bike features a trellis frame, fully adjustable suspension, and high-quality components like Brembo brakes and Ohlins suspension on the S model. The riding position is more upright and comfortable, especially with the revised seat, making it suitable for both city riding and occasional long-distance tours. However, the bikes reliability and quality of finish have been points of contention, with some owners reporting issues such as fork seal leaks and paint flaking. Despite these concerns, the Monster 1100 remains a compelling choice for those who value its unique character and performance capabilities.

Our take on this /// Verdict
The Ducati Monster 1100 is a bike that embodies the essence of Italian motorcycle design, with its striking looks and powerful L-twin engine. However, my experience with this bike has been mixed. On one hand, it handles beautifully, especially in urban settings, and its torque delivery is exceptional, making it a joy to ride. The revised seat and more upright riding position enhance comfort, particularly for taller riders. Yet, reliability issues have been a significant concern from fork seal leaks and pulsating front brakes to engine stuttering and poor paint quality, these problems detract from the overall experience. While the bike has a lot of character and is well-suited for city riding and occasional hill scratching, its reliability and maintenance costs need careful consideration before making a purchase.
Price
In India, the Ducati Monster 1100 is positioned as a premium motorcycle, reflecting its high-quality components and performance. The ex-showroom price for the Ducati Monster 1100 can range from around 15 lakh to 18 lakh, depending on the specific variant and any customizations. Once you factor in taxes, registration, and other on-road costs, the price can escalate to approximately 18 lakh to 22 lakh. This pricing places it in a competitive segment against other high-performance bikes, but the brands reputation and the bikes unique features may justify the cost for enthusiasts. However, the additional expenses for maintenance and potential repairs should also be factored into the overall cost of ownership.

One of the standout features of the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO is its exhaust system, designed in collaboration with MIVV, makers of MotoGP bike exhaust systems. The exhaust produces a deep, throaty sound that is both pleasing and distinctive. This attention to detail in the exhaust design adds to the bikes overall appeal and performance. I believe the sound alone makes this bike worth considering.

The Ducati Monster 1100 EVO comes equipped with advanced safety features such as ABS and traction control, which were significant upgrades at the time of its release. These features enhance the bikes safety without adding to its cost, making it a compelling option for riders who value both performance and safety. I think these features are a big plus for potential buyers.

The Ducati Monster 1100 EVOs design includes sculpted stock mirrors that look good but tend to vibrate, making it difficult to spot traffic. The mirrors also stick out farther than the handlebars, which can be a challenge for lane splitting. Despite these minor issues, the bikes overall design and attention to detail are commendable. I believe these are minor quirks in an otherwise great bike.

In terms of maintenance, the first service for the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO typically costs around Rs. 18,000, which is comparable to other bikes in its class. Owners have reported that the service costs are reasonable and the bikes mechanical noises, typical of Ducatis wet clutch system, are manageable. I think the maintenance costs are reasonable for a bike of this caliber.
Mileage

The mileage of the Ducati Monster 1100 in India is not its strongest suit. With an average fuel consumption of around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, it translates to a mileage of about 14-15 kilometers per liter. This is relatively modest compared to other bikes in its class. However, for those who prioritize performance and the riding experience over fuel efficiency, this might not be a major concern. Still, its crucial to consider the running costs, especially given the bikes thirst for premium fuel.
