Not a week goes by where we don’t write about a tuned car, however, it’s pretty rare for us to write about tuned motorcycles. I guess because motorcycles (sport bikes) are already highly tuned by their manufacturers to squeeze out every ounce of performance from those small engines and there isn’t much bodywork that can be enhanced/tuned by aftermarket tuners. There are rare occasions when a tuner works their magic on a motorcycle, in this case, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari tuned by Vilner.
I’m not sure if this project is a collaboration between Vilner and Italian luxury goods retailer Bulgari (Bvlgari) or the “Bulgari” is referring to Bulgaria, the country where Vilner is from. According to Vilner, the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari’s design is inspired by a praying mantis that’s moving gracefully while performing Kung Fu… or something like that, see their quote below.
…the design team was inspired by the clean body lines of the praying mantis, and by its graceful movements, which was the basis of the martial art Kung Fu…
The upgrades on the bike include a stitched leather seat, partial leather covered fuel tank, a new headlight, aluminum holders on the front end of the frame, a pearl white paintjob, and two-tone rims. The girl with the dragon tattoo is not included. The Ducati Monster 1100 EVO’s engine gets a power boost and now produces 109 horsepower, up from 99 HP.
According to the Bulgarian tuner, only 100 examples of the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Bulgari edition will be produced, no word on pricing yet.
