Summer is just around the corner and Ducati decided to give us yet another option to enjoy the summer ridging season with the brand new Monster 821 naked bike, a new addition to Monster lineup.
The new smaller bike shares its look with its bigger siblings, the Ducati Monster 1200 and 1200S, with the exception of a double-sided swing arm and of course, it’s powered by a smaller engine. The engine is a water-cooled 821cc Testastretta 11° V-Twin, producing 128 horsepower and 66 pound-feet of torque (17 HP and 26 lb-ft less than its bigger siblings). The entire package weighs in at 395.7 pounds dry.
Don’t be fooled by the Monster 821’s simple looks, it packs a lot of the tech gadgetry found on the 1200. Features such as 3-level ABS Brakes, 8-level traction control, 3-level ride-by-wire throttle control, and an adjustable seat height.
The Ducati Monster 821 will be available in Regular and Dark versions. The regular version is priced at $11,495 and comes with red paint, red frame, and black wheels or white paint, red frame, and red wheels. The Dark edition comes with all-black everything and is priced at $10,995. These bikes will be available at Ducati dealerships in July 2014. via: Ducati
