Ducati Monster Plus
The Ducati Monster Plus has a top speed of 220 km/h (estimated), produces 111 hp and weighs 188 kg. Motoryk rates it 8/10.
Die Ducati Monster Plus wurde 2021 als Variante der gründlich überarbeiteten Monster der dritten Generation eingeführt, die ihren ikonischen Stahlgitterrahmen zugunsten eines leichteren Monocoque-Chassis ablegte. Das Monster Plus verleiht dem serienmäßigen Monster ein kleines Fliegengitter, einen Beifahrersitzbezug und einige ästhetische Details, was ihm einen etwas hochwertigeren Café-Racer-Appeal verleiht. Er hat dieselbe 937-cm3-Testastretta-Motorplattform und steht für Ducatis Bemühungen, den nackten Roadster zu modernisieren, der das Segment ursprünglich revolutionierte, als Miguel Angel Galluzzi 1993 den ersten Monster entwarf.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Desmo Service Costs
The Ducati Monster Plus requires desmodromic valve services every 15,000 miles, which can cost $600–$1,200 at a dealer. Budget for this when calculating total ownership costs.
Strong Resale Value
The Monster Plus holds its value better than most naked bikes due to Ducati's brand prestige and limited production numbers. Well-maintained examples typically retain 75–85% of their value after two years.
Unique Trellis Frame
The iconic steel trellis frame is not just aesthetic — it contributes to a lively, communicative ride feel that many riders consider best-in-class for a mid-size naked bike. It's a signature feature that distinguishes it from competitors.
Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A charismatic middleweight worth the ownership compromise, if serviced."
$9,500-$13,500 usedThe Monster Plus is essentially Ducati's gateway drug, and a used one makes a compelling case for itself. You're getting the 937cc Testastretta twin — a genuinely characterful engine that pulls hard from 4,000rpm and sounds absolutely filthy through the stock exhaust. The riding position is upright and comfortable, the quickshifter works brilliantly, and the TFT dash connects to your phone without drama. For a Ducati, it's surprisingly approachable. That said, go in with your eyes open. Desmo service intervals hit every 15,000 miles and they hurt — budget $600-900 minimum at a dealer. Check service history religiously. The rear suspension is also underdamped from stock, which feels vague in fast corners until you sort it. Earlier 2021 examples had minor software gremlins with the ride modes, so confirm any dealer updates were applied. Buy one with documented history, ideally from a single careful owner, and you've got one of the most engaging middleweights available at a sensible used price. Skip the warranty-expired bargains.
