Staff Bikes: Jimbo's Ducati Monster 821

Jimbo brings you his second staff bike, his Ducati Monster 821. Since Jimbos other bikes are all shed-built he needed something as a daily ride, and this is it. With a few minor modifications including a triple layer wrap.

[@olddudeonaducati3153]

I see some comments on the reliability of the ducati. My 821 dark has 25,000 miles on it and only had 1 issue since purchasing new 2 years ago and it was a throttle sensor , other than that I am happy with my monster..

[@dbmiller6]

I've owned three Ducatis. My St2 had issues, but since about 2004 things have been going up and up and now I don't give reliability any thought. They're superb and - after dumping my Triumph and enjoying but moving on my Guzzi Griso - I'm back to Ducatis for good. People just keep repeating this over and over. It's old now.

[@Irving_821]

@@dbmiller6 agree bro, its not 1985 wtf are these ppl talking about...

A dirty bike is a ridden bike. Kudos for that... :) Great bike!

[@motozest7856]

"On a daily basis I need something more reliable... hence why I bought a Ducati Monster" - that's probably the first time that sentence was ever formulated.

Great looking bike. Love the fender elimintor and tail tidy.

[@mattnelson2377]

Just installed the Competition Werkes on my 821 Monster yesterday and it sounds incredible.

[@JpOcDenver]

Matt Nelson make a video dude

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I used the buffler on my Werkes but I think it was to loud. I removed mine and continued with the stock.

[@avrc9285]

nice bike, ducati's are much more reliable than people think. have a look at rexxer for a reflash of the ecu and a remap..they told me they can program the ecu to fit to the bike's set up (air-filter, exhaust valve cancellation, exhaust..) might worth it. The termignoni double exhaust is also a solution (maybe more expensive) but it comes with the up-map and its done in 10 min without messing with the ecu. Hope this helps

[@johna6968]

The jury is out on the wrap. Sounds well for a standard bike though.

[@DCH_30]

Where can I find that LED strip tail light?

[@yoeri4804]

Best sounding stock motorcycle

[@marcosalves1100]

I tried to put SC-Project on mine also and I had the same problem has you. I think Termignoni works better with Ducati and sounds nice...

[@UrgetoRide]

Holy crap what sort of Honda is it on the right with square headlights ? Looks sick

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

That’s the X-axis Honda CBX750. Great custom. You can see the video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmKwn5WqfJygqqc

[@bongyakwui]

Jimbo, you have to install the Healtech Servo Buddy to turn-off the FI error with SC Project pipe (or any aftermarket pipe)

[@ederjesus4292]

Where to buy the tail ligth?

[@rrobotman]

In the UK is it a mudguards or a fender? Here in OZ we say mudguards due to our early links with the UK and fenders is used only when talking to Americans or if the subject is guitars 🎸. Has the UK changed to merikcan now?

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

Youth and social media means we all interchange words like fender/mudguard and say "shedule" instead if "Skedule". Welcome to the world of International English and pretty much anyone under 40.

[@1990-t1j]

Your beard has shrunk. Did I hear you right: you wanted a reliable bike for use on a daily basis and you've bought a Ducati? Maybe I'm out of date and they are. Sounds good with the stock price.

[@VisitTheCaymanIslands]

I thought the same thing

[@olddudeonaducati3153]

As far as stock exhaust on the 821, my 16- 821 dark is the best sounding stock exhaust just huge and ugly to look at...go with the werkes exhaust and save money over the termignoni...

[@RyanCiocca]

@1066Rider I have the 1200. Stock exhaust sounds great, imo, and is damn near loud enough. Aftermarket + tune is about 1k after all said and done. I can find bettter places to put that kind of money.

[@RyanCiocca]

@1066Rider Depends if you wanna do it right. Tune requires a power commander + shop time. I also have a warranty and don't want to deal with them trying to deny claims because of aftermarket. Pain in the ass.

[@RyanCiocca]

@1066Rider I am getting old, yes. :)

[@maxairbrush8379]

Hi! What's the front turn indicators ??

[@gitosousa]

Where to buy those turn signals? Can you share the brand? Thanks! Awesome Ducati! :)

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

Jorge Sousa they’re from New Rage Cycles in New York.

[@knightrides6034]

He wanted something reliable ... So he got a Ducati

[@BikeShedMotoCo]

Yup. It's not 1985 you know. ...Remember that Audi own Ducati these days.

[@knightrides6034]

[@tuyenhoang5546]

The 821 is perfectly reliable and 18k desmo service interval is quite good

How is the quality on the New Rage Cycles turn signals? The online reviews seem mixed at best but nobody makes a sleeker design

[@makecoolshit]

Really good had no issues what so ever and they look super clean. Much better than the lolly pop ones that come as standard.
