ducati monster cafe racer
The Ducati Monster 695 is already one of Ducati's most distinctive naked motorcycles, but this project takes the iconic trellis-frame bike in a very different direction. The build transforms the Monster into a stripped-back café racer with a custom seat and tail, pod filters, relocated ignition coils, custom exhaust, modern LED lighting, custom paint and fabricated parts.
Follow the complete Ducati Monster café racer project from teardown through fabrication, finishing and the final ride. With a mixture of garage craftsmanship, custom motorcycle fabrication and CAD-designed parts, this build shows how a modern Ducati Monster can be given a completely new personality while keeping the character of its V-twin engine and trellis frame.
