MIGUEL GALLUZZI

Legendary motorcycle designer Miguel Galluzzi is as refreshingly direct as his most famous creation, the Ducati M900 Monster. When it was released in 1993, the bare-bones Monster was considered revolutionary, which speaks more about 1990s sportbike design than its status as the “first naked bike.” Regardless, that motorcycle history was pretty much all naked, the mantra of ’90s sporting motorcycles was all-plastic-everything, and Galluzzi landed in the thick of it after a stint designing cars at GM/Opel in Germany.
