Ducati Monster 821
The Ducati Monster 821 has a top speed of 230 km/h (estimated), produces 109 hp and weighs 193 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
O Ducati Monster 821 foi lançado em 2014 como um roadster nu de médio alcance, ficando entre o Monster 696 e o carro-chefe Monster 1200 para ampliar o apelo da linha Monster. Ele apresentava o motor de dois cilindros Testastretta 11° e era notável por oferecer uma experiência mais premium e voltada para o desempenho para pilotos que queriam mais do que um Monster básico sem o compromisso total do 1200. O 821 recebeu atualizações em 2018 com estilo revisado e eletrônica aprimorada antes de ser descontinuado por volta de 2021, substituído pelo Monster 937.

O que os compradores devem saber
Desmo Service Costs
The Ducati Monster 821 requires a Desmodromic valve service every 15,000 miles, which can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealership. Always verify service history before buying, as skipped intervals can lead to serious engine damage.
Watch for Coolant Leaks
A known issue on the 821 is coolant weeping from the water pump seal, especially on pre-2018 models. Inspect the lower left engine area carefully and ask the seller about any overheating history.
Strong Resale Value
The Monster 821 holds its value better than many middleweight competitors, often retaining 60–70% of its original price after three years. Its Ducati badge, sporty styling, and liquid-cooled 821cc twin make it consistently desirable on the used market.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"A brilliant middleweight if bought with eyes wide open."
$7,500-$11,000 usedThe Monster 821 sits in that sweet spot where Ducati character meets everyday usability, but buying one used requires homework. The 821cc Testastretta twin pulls hard from 4,000rpm and sounds absolutely savage with a decent exhaust, but check the service history religiously — desmo valve services run $600-1,000 and many previous owners conveniently 'forgot' them. Look for bikes with documented 15,000-mile services and ask specifically about the belt change history. The riding position is genuinely comfortable for a naked bike, and the chassis feels telepathic through corners. DTC traction control and ABS are confidence-inspiring without being intrusive. Earlier 2014-2015 examples had some fueling hiccups at low speeds that Ducati improved in later models, so 2017-onward bikes are noticeably smoother in traffic. Seat quality is questionable beyond 90 minutes, and Italian electrics can surprise you if the bike sat unused. Budget an extra $1,500 above purchase price for a full service and peace of mind. Do that, and you've got one of the most rewarding middleweights available.
