What Utopia says is absolutely correct but of course back then they were never known as 'naked roadsters' as almost all bikes back then had no fairings.

As for the original Monster thing- the story I always heard was that Galluzzi was using what was essentially a parts bin unfaired 888 cobbled together to commute to work on and his little boy said it looked like a monster.
