Some interesting info about the history of monocoque motorcycles from wikapedia:
A Grand Prix motorcycle racing monocoque motorcycle was developed in 1967 by Ossa, a Spanish motorcycle brand. Notable designers such as Eric Offenstadt [10] and Dan Hanebrink [11] created unique monocoque designs in the early 1970s. The 1973 Isle of Man TT was won by Peter Williams on the monocoque-framed Norton John Player Special. Honda also experimented with a monocoque motorcycle in 1979 with its NR500.[12] In 1987 John Britten developed the Aero-D One featuring a composite monocoque chassis that only weighed 12 kg.[13] In 2009 Ducati introduced the Desmosedici GP9 with a carbon fibre semi-monocoque chassis.

The 2000-2006 Kawasaki ZX-12R also used a monocoque frame.
One downside about a monocoque frame, compared to a twin spar frame, is the lack of decent crash protection. I have a feeling there won't be any decent frame sliders available for the 1199.
