Many motorcycle enthusiasts believe the most-versatile and easiest-to-ride bikes are those that have been stripped down to the bare necessities. Bikes fitting this description are called 'naked.' And perhaps one of the most well-known naked bikes is the Ducati Monster.

The Ducati Motorcycle Company introduced the Monster in 1993. Although the Monster has been stripped of all of the inessentials, it's still considered a very fun and comfortable bike to ride. It's the ideal motorcycle for novice riders or daily commuters.

For those who are ready to graduate to a sports motorcycle, the Ducati Supersport is a good bike to start with. Just like the Monster, the Supersport has a simple design and is rather easy to handle. In contrast, though, the Supersport is equipped with a powerful fuel-injected Desmo engine that's more than capable of providing its riders with a thrilling and high-performance ride.

On the other hand, more experienced riders who regularly participate in competitive racing events or who just want a professional riding experience might find the Ducati Superbike line more appealing. However, when it comes to racing, the most notable of the Superbikes is the Ducati 999. The unique design of the Ducati 999 is lauded for combining rider ergonomics with maximum aerodynamics.

Riders of the Ducati 999 will probably be most impressed with the adjustable seat and controls. This feature allows riders to determine their most comfortable riding positions. The bottom line is no matter what your riding level is, there is a Ducati that may fit the bill.
