This is Celli's second Monster. The first was a M-1000 Dark. Before the Ducatis he rode a couple of Japanese bikes, a 1952 BMW and some Harleys.

Celli's Monster came out of its crate brand new in 2006 as an S2R-1000 and even before the first ride, Celli started the modifications.

What he likes about the Monster is its beautiful basic design, the nakedness in combination with Italian flavor. He says: “All Monsters look great. New straight from the shop, up to completely modified”. Celli is an artist and makes his living with painting on canvas. On his website you can see his paintings as well as the evolution of his Ducati.

What he wanted to do was to change his Monster into an even more naked bike (Nuda) in combination with high-tech elements (Lights, wheels, carbon-fiber, etc.) and nostalgic themes (Short tail, clip-ons, no front fender, coloured forks, taped handles, old fuelcap etc.). All covered with an Italian sauce. And he wanted to do the cosmetic changes by himself. That's why many parts were custom-made by him. The biggest reason he chose the S2R was the beautiful swingarm. His Monster couldn't escape from his creativity and was transformed in a double prizewinning "Ducreation".

You can split his modifications in two parts: Aesthetic and technical tuning.
