2020 Ducati 821 Monster First Ride | REVIEW

[@paddygrant2263]

Had my Stealth for almost a year. Believe me the guy doing test ride did not do it justice. This beauty does everything and power delivery is stunning and linear. Pops and crackles on decelarate...and pops massive on upshift to 3rd. And....looks bloody gorgeous! Best bike i've had love it!!

[@ducati]

Awesome man! Great ride!

Daayum u da real ducati acc woaa awesome

Got the 2019 monster 821 matte black as my beginner bike. Dropped it on the first day😂, luckily only one mirror got damaged. I replaced both mirror the next day. I’ve been with it for over a year and put almost 2k miles and every time I ride it is the best experience ever. I would like to try a Panigale V4 tho.

[@paddygrant2263]

Wounder mate. Not a starter bike tho and stay away from the Penigale for a good while - safety over beauty.

[@ericbriones5161]

Ronal, I was considering this as my first starter bike. What happened that caused you to drop it on the first day? Is it too much power?

[@ronalgarcia3453]

@@paddygrant2263 What do you think about the street fighter V4?

[@ronalgarcia3453]

@@ericbriones5161 it wasn’t about the power. I tried to park it in my garage while riding it and the front tire slid. It was more lack of skill than power. I recommend it as a beginner bike but treat it with respect. I started with the urban riding mode then switched to touring after a few months, I recently switched to sport.

[@kikopascual6045]

I am an 821 owner. I bought it one year ago and for me it is the perfect naked. Powerful and nimble! The only negative point is that “cool” exhaust is hot as hell man!

[@avrc9285]

Termi racing pipe + up map I had the 821 for a bit over 4 years and although I can’t tell u anything about other exhaust/map combinations the termi’s race has only one negative being the price tag but it comes with a map... temp gets high in the city but when on the move never an issue for me. Maybe check your oil/coolant levels. If you need to add coolant follow the company’s suggestions and don’t mix coolants (can’t stress this enough) and enjoy..

[@egg250]

I almost bought a 2018 yellow 821, then honda released a new CB1000R that i couldn't resist. I've always loved monsters. Owned 2!

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

I'm facing the same dilemma right now. I've been looking for a second bike that will be used for traffic/lane splitting in Los Angeles. I have the BMW R1250GS but regardless of what people say, it is sometimes too wide for lane splitting properly. Anyway, it between the Monster 1200/821, Yamaha XSR900, Honda CB1000R and maybe a select few others. Can't make up my mind!

[@ivanskucins7883]

Nice video. I have 2014 Monster 821 and it's my first bike after I past the test. The beauty of modern motorcycling is riding modes 😁 I used it on a Urban mode for the good 3-4 months and now use the other modes. Just control your hands don't listen that lovely engine singing to open the throttle 😜

[@Mr.XR8996]

Haha yeah man !

[@sevader1847]

That's one damn good looking motorcycle!

[@mohammedbishar4323]

[@victorhs258]

I concur.

[@DGH19]

I've had my Stealth for a year and a half now. Absolutely love it!....got the Termi on in June. Sooo badass 👌👍

[@ickess]

I have an 02 monster 750S.ie. And love it. It’s a blast to ride. Expensive to maintain but super fun

[@kentpaynekentp2147]

Bought a yellow 821 last month put 800 miles on it in two weeks. Unfortunately was rear ended and bike totaled last week. Thinking of getting the Stealth 821 as a replacement. just waiting on settlement but there will bee a new 821 in the near future

[@paddygrant2263]

Stealth has DQS as standard and looks awesome. Do it!!

[@DonnieDesmo]

Looks great, although I would prefer a red one with a single-sided swingarm.

[@georgescompositions8872]

That's a Ducati Monster 1200. Look it up they are so nice!! 🤩

[@motorcycleartist]

I kinda miss the exhaust being under the seat..still a beauty.ride safe everyone🙏🙏

[@MichaelArchibald-tw2vx]

I had a very similar experience vvith my first Ducati Monster 1100 Evo, only I think I made a tad more noise than you 😃 Enjoyed your revievv👍

[@filofilo8127]

I have an 821 and it is easy to ride with plenty of torque. A very versatile bike.

[@Mr.XR8996]

Yeah thinking of getting one or the 797

[@keltecdan]

How has the reliability been? I’m wanting one myself but too nervous of the issues it might have.

[@filofilo8127]

@@keltecdan Reliability is up there with the best of them. No issues at all. Service the bike as per manufactures schedule.

[@cage_1980]

I'm a beginner and I have this bike. It's a great ride with a lot of personality. Lots of torque, attitude and growling noise (Termignoni exhaust).

[@mauriciofelix213]

I'm wanting to get this 821. Is the exhaust an issue when riding in long trips?

[@jonathanjones4591]

Ive been riding dirt bikes for 7 years and i want this bike for my first street bike. People say it will be too much but i think i have enough experience to ride a monster 821. Thoughts anyone?

[@cage_1980]

@@jonathanjones4591 You'll be fine, the throttle starts at zero. There are three driving modes where Urban is 75% of full power output, also there's traction control so driving is relatively easy. I very quickly warmed up to mine. It's choppy below 4k rpm, but you get used to that.

[@cage_1980]

@@mauriciofelix213 It could be due to them being relatively loud. The DB killers are very easily installed though, just insert and tighten one screw, these muffles the exhaust a bit.

[@jonathanjones4591]

@@cage_1980 okay, thank you for the info!

[@솔직한리뷰어-r8k]

How does it compare to street triple rs that you’ve ridden recently? I am cross shopping between the two.

[@솔직한리뷰어-r8k]

modern times thanks man I tried both and I liked the street triple more.

Id take mike tyson then, thank you

[@ThisDyingEarth]

Nice bike, nice review. Got a nice burbling exhaust note. What's that I'm seeing at 8:50 at your 1 o'clock? Seems like an aircraft but at a high AOA. Airport nearby?

[@jamescarter740]

ThisDyingEarth this is in San Antonio, dealership is CTX, it’s pretty close to the airport.

Hi, I am thinking of buying bike 821 or 1200s, I just don't know if it is too strong for me? Before I had ktm duke 690, triumph street triple r ...?

[@JoseRevenga]

Thanks for sharing! Bike looks dope!

[@bjfikky]

How does this compare to the street triple rs. Looks, riding position, weight, power.

[@gavincoulson7921]

I have ridden both and the street triple I think is way more comfortable and the power being a larger engine makes a much smoother and safer ride. Each to their own I suppose

[@Mr.XR8996]

You're right Gavin, great comment 👍

[@DaniWhiteMoto]

Does it come with Quickshifter / Autoblip down?

[@NihonmelayuMalaysia]

Hi there? Can i ask what is the engine oil change interval for this bike? It was said 15000km?

[@mohammedjabr8453]

Nice review man, Do you feel a problem with engine heat or handlebar vibration ?

[@brent545]

The exhaust heat is not so bad unless your heavy traffic but you can still tolerate it. The handle bar vibe was bad for me first couple days on the throttle side. Once I rode it more and got use to the engine harmonics my hand kept feeling less numb. But the 821 pulls like a animal in 1st and 2nd especially ! Wants to rip your arms off at WOT. Had her up to 133 mph. I think it does need a steering damper. Front seems light to me @ WOT.

[@passeosej]

The dealer in Akron went out of business. So sad. He had Triumph, too. Corona victim.

[@cuzimaluzer777]

Damn.

[@TheDane_09]

is this bike automatic ?

[@paintup46]

wonz18 No. Stealth model has quick shifter tho.

There is the 797 monster if you want to look with a less performance

[@brent545]

Do not dude for first bike get the 797 instead if you have to monster on your first bike. But it's your choice at the end of the day what you buy. But my opinion I would not buy this as first bike. Unless you ride it in Urban mode for 6 months plus. The tour and Sport as you get use to the power delivery.

[@cvrle2392]

@@brent545 it is definitely scary 1st 2 months but after that its ok. I bought it as my 1st bike after 30 years not riding and i love it. Ride safe every one!!

[@gavincoulson7921]

The 821 isn’t a sports power house by any means but it’s definitely not a good first bike especially if you get too excited with the throttle.. I went 659 first And it was a great progression👍

[@rodcurtis2064]

You can get it as a first bike. It has different modes available. So when you get it, I suggest putting it in urban mode and riding it in that mode until you get comfortable. Then move it to Touring mode and sport after that. I say get it because it makes no sense to get a 797 when as your skills progress you may want to upgrade. I know because I have one and have had it for 2 years. I'm uploading videos on my channel because there are a lot of things that people don't mention that I wish was "REALLY" brought up about it before I purchased mines.

[@skidheart]

I like ducati

[@RoseangleWarrior]

So basically this guy rides a Ducati very slowly to discover that Ducatis are fast ?!?! Or this guy watched a load of Monster reviews to tell him what the bike was like so he could make a very poor video. He rambled on not actually telling us anything about the bike, apart for "it's fast". Nothing about riding modes, corner feel, fueling, suspension, tyres, dashboard, footpegs, or flick ability. Just, "it's fast". Yeah, Ducati motorbikes are fast generally, it's kind of very bloody well know there sport.
