Ducati Monster Race Bike Is A Colorful Tribute To Ayrton Senna
by AutoExpert | 20 May, 2024
His legacy lives on, even if Ayrton Senna passed away thirty years ago. In the most recent homage, Ducati unveiled a limited-edition Monster race bike in the driver's honor. The bike's vibrant paintwork, which draws design cues from Senna's helmet, is sure to turn heads.
Hence, the model's striking combination of green, yellow, and blue is a nod to the Brazilian flag.
The customization of the Monster includes carbon fiber silencers, billet aluminum footrests, bespoke forged aluminum wheels, a blue seat, a one-of-a-kind plaque, and a starting animation specifically tailored to the 4.3-inch screen. A carbon-fiber mudguard set and a lithium-ion battery round out the bike's accessories. These enhancements are most likely responsible for the Senna's weight reduction of 10 pounds (4.5 kg) compared to the normal model.
The Testastretta two-cylinder engine generates 110 horsepower. Buyers will also discover a fully adjustable Öhlins suspension and a Brembo brake system with yellow calipers. Limited to 341 pieces, the number honors Senna's three world titles and forty-one first-place finishes.
For as little as $25,000, you may get this motorcycle with a cover and a certificate of authenticity. Castiglioni, the then-owner of Ducati, gave the racing driver an 851 SP in 1990, continuing a long association between the two. Ayrton, one of the first owners of the Monster 900, made his entrance to the gala for the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix while riding it. By teaming together on the Ducati 916 Senna, the two deepened their bond even more.
