Buy it! You won’t regret it. I had a 2007 fz1s sold it and I bought a 2015 monster 821 in arctic white. Absolutely love it, you can seriously chuck the bike around the bends. I am 125kg and 6ft3 and the front forks handle just fine with me and the mrs 60kg. All I did is adjust the rear shock at about 80 percent capacity.

Few quick remarks about the 821 since I own a 2017 since new. After the first service, gear box will be much much better shifting, I had severe issues finding neutral on every new Ducati I rode. 2017 doesn't have TFT screen, but it has the old exhaust pipe and few more ponies and a wonderful booming L Twin noise. Handle bar is black on the standard bike.... Controls are also different so you don't hit the "mode" button. Tank is different shape as is the seat. This Duc has a timing belt which is serviced every 20k miles, this is why it has those black covers - because it's designed for service! You can get some killer carbon fiber covers for all the dark pieces and they are not even all that expensive. 2015-2017 is a better buy, only thing that you are giving up is the quick shifter which isn't available even as an accessory, gear indicator... I personally went with a Healtec shift indicator and quick shifter and never looked back. Most motorcycles aren't designed with everyone in mind. For me S1000R was horrible as far as comfort goes. RnineT had sloppy handling. I already have a sport touring in line 4 BMW as well so I wasn't looking for a "GS-jack of all trades" 2nd bike. Monster is wonderful bike with a soul, something that many new bikes are missing.

@@AndyManCam it should have been updated at least for 2020. It's basically the same bike since 2015 except for being actually a worse bike, due to emissions. For example Mulitstrada 950 engine would fit the bill quite nicely. Supposedly it's much smoother if you care for that sort of thing. Twins just have more character, if you want smoother engine with less character get a inline 3 or 4. Life is too short to just ride one bike... Have a few ;)

I don't know man... Since I went over 40 it's like all the years of abusing various parts of the body finally came to bite me. Even the Versys was to cramped and I am 6'3". So I went with the GS... Out with the character, in with the sweet comfort! :D And I must say it's a very good all rounder, and also has that boxer punch. All it took was one short test ride, and I was hooked. Nice and honest review Andy, cheers!

Hey Andy, My local dealer had deals on this model and I was tempted. Wasn’t able to test ride at the time and then the virus hit and you know the rest. I’m glad I didn’t go any further with it. At times it sounded like it was struggling at revs, reminiscent of shaking a can full of nuts and bolts. The indicator going into the riding modes at will would drive me insane too.

Great review, Andy :) I love my Ducati Scrambler 1100. I guess it produces even more heat, given that it's air-cooled and has under-seat exhaust pipes. But honestly so far it hasn't bothered me. That said, I only have it since February, didn't have much opportunity to get roasted in traffic at >25°C yet. The sound on this 2020 Monster 821 really sounded quite thin. Bikes don't have to be loud, but there needs to be some low frequency rumble, especially for twin cyl. engines bikes, IMO.

I know this sounds a bit far fetched, but hear me out: Honda Africa Twin. The engine is fantastic, the fueling is fantastic and the seating position is fantastic. It's even got cruise control (at least the 2020 model). Now, I own a Street Triple R 675 and an Aprilia Caponord 1200, and the only issue that kept me from getting the AT instead of the Caponord was the missing cruise control on previous AT models. I did ride the Africa Twin twice for 3-4 days and it's just a great bike to travel and have fun with.

Hey, nice review! I personally own this very bike and I actually find it to be an awful lot of fun. The fact that the bike is rough like it is in my mind only adds to the character of the bike, which many present bikes lack. I find your opinions on the bike to be very precise and on point for someone, who has just stepped off of an inline four Yamaha 🙂 It is certainly a shock when you first step off something so refined and smooth and.then swing your leg over something so rough 😅 Eitherway the heat and the general rough side of the bike are Ducati’s signature features for better or worse some people like myself love it, some people can’t stand it and there is very hardly anything in between 😏 As for the noise, it is far from the scream of an inline four with the stock can, however that can easily be fixed with a nice aftermarket exhaust (the unfortunate aftermath of EU regulations) 😄 Ducati’s are certainly not for everyone... The V-Twin engines especially are for many people a pain in the ass to cope with let alone live with it is nothing to worry about though! I’d suggest trying one of their new V4 bikes... That engine is a lot smoother and also might offer some more over all excitement for you especially when coming from something like an FZ1 🙂 The Streetfighter V4 is an amazing bike and is definitely worth a test ride, however there are plenty other fish in the sea that could suit your preferences and needs much better than any bike from the Ducati line-up! With that being said I wish you all the best and lots of fun on your hunt for a new bike, if possible do keep us posted with what bike you eventually end up choosing 😉

Thanks! As a designer in a past life, i have to disagree. It’s ENTIRELY their fault that i kept pushing the mode button as they had gotten their semiotics wrong and either put it in wrong place, or programmed the behavior of the interface wrong. As shown by the fact that on the Hypermotard, you have to hold the button down for a second to go into the menu. This behavior should be programmed in across the range. But as you know (and the same with the indicator/horn Lay-out on Hondas) it’s something that you get used to when it’s your bike!

I can only speak from my own experience. Overall i find it odd that two bikes from the same brand, have two completely different ways of accessing the menus. And even more odd that the action of canceling the indicators and accessing the menus, would have the exact same action as each other on the 821. Sure you can get used to it and be ok with it. Doesn’t stop it being strange.

Rather surprised that you’re thinking of going for the 821 and not the 1200 or 1200s. The 821 might be a bit weedy for long distance touring like you normally do don’t you think? I’m 6ft 2 and found the leg room rather tight on the 1200s. For your 6ft4 frame it must be hell. I eventually went for a used KTM 1290 SDR and found that perfect for my me. The power though was nuts. I’ve also previously owned a yamaha XSR900, and that i must say was one of the most comfortable bikes i ever owned. Particularly for the legs. Happy bike hunting. PS. The XSR900 doesn’t cook the nether regions PPS. I’d all but given up hope you’d keep doing bike reviews. Glad to see you’ve started again...

AndyManCam good point. Then I’d recommend taking a look at the XSR, it’s got all the benefits of the MT-09, with a lot fewer downsides. Goes pretty well, costs a lot less upfront with lower insurance. Which allows upgrades (akra exhausts and ohlins suspension for those of a heavier persuasion like me). Only snag might be the styling (retro-ish) is not to everyone’s tastes. Like I said, enjoy the hunt for a new bike... it’s half the fun of owning one 😀

When he got off his comments were that he couldn’t believe how smooth and easy to ride the bike was. Please please please try an ECU flash (or alternate ECU) before you trade her in.

I think every bikers current ride is balancing on the razors edge of opportunity! ECU flashing just sadly isn't a very viable option here in Germany as we have to also pass the emissions tests every year. Altering the emissions (for the worse) is highly illegal over here. 😖 So sadly that inherent snatchiness is the single Achilles heel of a great bike, that could eventually drive me into the arms of another! What is the equation? When N = the number of bikes you have, then the number of bikes you need = N+1.

Thank you Andy for your very detailed and honest review. I am coming out of my A2 licence in a couple of months and have been riding a CB500X for the last 2 years. Right now as my 1st big bike I am hesitating between the Ducati 821 Monster and the Honda CB1000R. I have seen your latest vids about the CB. What made you buy it? What do you think would fit me as a 1st big bike keeping in mind that the bike will be used for nice gentle 1h or so rides, I am not a racer... I am leaning toward the Honda right now but am really undecided yet. Thanks again, I really like your work!

My pleasure Tomy. Happy to help. The beauty of the CB is that you can ride it gentle and relaxed. The fuelling is so smooth that you don’t need to wring it’s neck to feel like it’s enjoyable. I’m fact I’d say that my riding has become much smoother since getting it. Also the restricted power modes are very unobtrusive and well implemented.

Owning the 821 since 2017, I can say that I love the bike. Light, agile, beautiful. Simply Monster (red of course). The riding modes are easy to use. You just needed 2 minutes before starting the ride to get to know how to avoid getting into the mode display all the time. You were not patient enough. I am using it almost every day. It's a bit hot if you use it only in a city. The not adjustable fork doesn't annoy me at all. I have as an option the quick shifter which I don't use very often. Sorry it's like this. The small wind screen in option does the job really well. Of course it's not a tourer for the Autobahn. But at 140km/h it's still very ok. ✌️😎🙋‍♂️

I'm also 6ft 4 and used to have an fzs1000, which was great but lacking character, I changed to a 2007 speed triple which just ticks all the boxes for me, comfortable, full of character, technically slower than the Fazer but lots of low down torque so feels quicker in most situations, plus for me at least it has the look back at it as you walk away factor I never had with the Yamaha. You should try one of you never have, though my model might be a bit too old for your requirements.

ive ridden the 1200s and shes a beast, much bettter to get the smaller engine for commuting and possibly more fun.. i had a MT09 also and that remains one of my favorite bikes and i actually miss it a lot. just so you know where i'm coming from, i've been riding since i was a kid and have been on litre bikes for the past 10 or more years, currently on a s1k. I really enjoyed the 1200s and I've ridden the superduke 1290 and also the duke 790 and I found the MT09 to be the most fun, if the 821 is a cross between the MT09 and the 1200s as in all the character you'd expect from a ducati with the performance and usability of the MT09 then it will be a great bike for commuting and canyon carving. test ride one and see what you think.. If it was me i'd go 821 but the choice is yours

I nearly bought an 821 but bought a scrambler instead 'cos I wanted the noise and rumble; wanted to know I'd been for a ride and not just carried along. Unless you must have new and/or abs (no bad thing at all) there could bikes to maybe consider around the same age as the FZ1n which provide the v-twin torque you might like and fit your size/shape. Suzuki SV1000, smooth reliable, wants cans, suspension and brake upgrades, but will still be very cheap and hugely capable. Honda VTR1000 Firestorm, front end's a bit soft, uses fuel if you use the performance. Actually most bikes of that age will benefit from a suspension refresh so its not a criticism really, just a factor of age and use (like all of us). I could go on (bit boring). What fun the search is, have lots of it. T

I often get asked by people I ride with, What are you fiddling with on the bars? Yup indicator switch!! Anywho, I like looking at a ducati, but have had and soon got rid of fussy Italian bikes. Just nope. Each to his own though.

It’s a filthy habit, but i can’t stop! I was sure I’d love this bike, but i think I’m with you.

@@AndyManCam don't get me wrong if I could afford one as a second bike, then yeah. And as far as I can see not newer exotics bikes are a lot more reliable. But something that always baffles me, in the sense of what I want out of a bike. I find myself asking do these bikes that now cost 10 thou plus, do they really out do the likes of the FZ-1? I'd like one, but I'm not sure just how justifiable the expense would be.

My thoughts exactly. I’m still kind of on the fence. Although ABS and traction control would certainly make me more comfortable about my insurance excess. Especially as i always find the badly Surfaced wet roads!
