2012 Ducati Monster 1100EVO Showroom Premiere

If there’s one thing Ducati’s good at doing, (well, besides building motorcycles that is), it’s making the showroom premieres of its newest models an event. That holds true with the North American dealership premieres of Ducati‘s newest Monster, the flagship of the company’s naked roadster lineup, the Ducati Monster 1100EVO.

What do have are these images of Biaggi on a GP racebike for the first time since 2005 when he raced for Honda.
