What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Ducati Monster 1200 is heavier than about 73.7% of 38 Ducati naked bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 3.57 US gal (13.5 L) to 4.62 US gal (17.5 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 22.2 lb (10.1 kg) to 28.7 lb (13 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Ducati curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every Monster 1200.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 29.3 hp per 100 lb to 31.94 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
