On September 21, 2008,[3] a gathering of Ducati Monsters in Hamme-Moerzeke, Belgium, broke the Guinness Record for the "largest parade of motorcycles of the same brand and type." 405 Ducati Monsters were tallied.[4]

Several A-list celebrities are known to have been publicly associated with the Monster, including Lewis Hamilton, Orlando Bloom, Usher, Alanis Morissette, Lyle Lovett, and Adrien Brody.[5] TV presenter Suzi Perry said "The best bike I've ever owned was probably my Ducati Monster", adding, "I had a 750, and it was a cool bike to own and cool to ride".[5]
