Ducati Monster 821 [2018-2019] Summary
The Ducati Monster 821 is the mid-spec Monster in the range. It takes design inspiration from the original 1992 Monster 900, which makes its design more appealing than before. The exhaust muffler now looks identical to the one on the Monster 1200S.
The Monster 821 gets an LED headlamp, a colour display for the instrument cluster, which now displays gear position and the level of fuel in the tank. The engine is the same one as before but the power figure has dropped to 107bhp and 86Nm, because of the tighter emission norms. The gearbox is still a six-speed one, but it now gets a two-way quickshifter as an option, which will come as a relief to anyone who has ridden the older 821 in traffic! A slipper clutch is also part of the package. The electronics package remains as detailed as before – three riding modes, three-level ABS and eight-step traction control. A Bluetooth-enabled interface is also an option. Three colours have been announced for the 821: black, red and yellow.
The Ducati Monster 821 competes with the Kawasaki Z900, Triumph Street Triple RS, Yamaha MT-09 and the Suzuki GSX-S750.

Shopping experience was like good, staff was cooperative but during service it took a lot of time.Some parts were not available with the service center and they took a lot of time in importing spare parts.There were some complications also...Riding experience..Without any hesitation i would like to say that the riding experience is awesome :-):-) :-).Looks ..I think the duke 790 and the upcoming benelli 752s are better in looks.Look is great but not up to the mark according to the money you are spending.I would have loved it more if it looked like a brutale 800.Service and maintenance...According to me these things are just waste of money so no comments abt.Service Pros...Awesome for showing off. Big engine making it fast Colored tft Adjustable electronics like traction control and anti braking system and all that stuff Sound good with modified exhaust. I really loved the quick shifter Slipper clutch is great. Cons...Heating issues Not good for tall riders Not perfect for touring Sound like so so with stock exhaust Looks not up to the mark.Lights not so good Not good in slow speeds Brightness of tft no so cool Drinks a lot :-)Service cost Location of showrooms and service centers Thing i loved the most is quickshifter and quick throttle response.

I don't have any buying experience but i will take in some few years later. This bike looks awesome and it has a beautiful structure of head light and all the body it has an awesome colour red. I have no riding experience. This service is very very nice and there is a huge maintenance for this bike . I like only ducati company bikes pros and cons should be some less.

Change the oil after 3000 kilometres and look after all the maintenance it would need.

Seriously loved the exhaust sound of this bike which thrills you with adventure every time you open the throttle.Riding and controlling this bike may seem to be tough task but as soon as you would riding this bike your perception would definitely change .Looks as you already know are killer servicing and maintenance may be little cost on your pocket but seriously this monster is never going to disappoint in you in any manner.
