I bought an 821 as my first bike. After 3 months I still use Urban mode and, for me, it's fast enough for now. Other bikes I've tried are all easier to ride, but my Monster gives me lots of smiles under my helmet.
In Australia, a beginner bike is anything that makes under 50HP and is under 660cc. The M821 would be illegal for a beginner to ride. We have a 3 year restricted license for beginners. After 3 years we can ride anything over 660cc. Great review though. I love the 821!
Love my stealth! Picked mine up in July, awesome bike for sure, I'm coming off sport bikes been riding for about 14yrs... you certainly could have this as a first bike (rec to start in urban mode) baby monster might be a better choice. That being said if you're smart about it you'll be fine. I started on an CBR F4i. Cheers...ps you weren't using DQS man ?? I love that feature ;)
I started off on crotch rockets myself (07 Honda CBR600RR) but then in 2016 got me a Harley 48 Sportser 1200 cuz im getting older and would like more of a comfortable ride. Loved that 48 but had to off it last year cuz i had other financial obligations to take care of. And im so used to regular shifting that i kept forgetting to try out the DQS on the test ride hahah
@@Avionyx Haha nice man yeah I also had the 07 cbr600rr blue silver one had it for 8yrs ! Really loved that bike, that being said it was time for something more comfortable, saw the stealth and new thats what I wanted. Cheers ride safe
Hey man this has been the most information vid I have seen about this bike so far. I am looking to get one and to be honest this helps me to make a decision and purchase. Thanks a lot to you and to Cody. EXCELLENT VID!!!
I’m moving back to Vegas in the future and decided to check out the Indian bike shop but stumbled into the Ducati store next to it. Will definitely be back for a monster when I get back they’re beautiful bikes in person.
I brought one before Christmas to learn on but needs some piston ring to get back on the road but that's what I want a monster but cost to much in new Zealand even for the monster 400 so get you one your enjoy it👍
totally agree with your whole comment. i just got a 2019 stealth a month ago after spending a few seasons on a bmw 310gs. now the 310gs is a beginner bike
@@henrywang1538 Possibly. If your a new rider your still better off on something that isn't too powerful and get your skill and confidence levels up before attempting bigger capacity bikes.
Hi, I am thinking about buying a motorcycle, I did not drive 5 years, I am interested in the ducati monster 821 or 1200 s, before that I rode the ktm duke 690, triumph street triple r, I like the 1200s more but I do not know if it is too strong, I live in NY and I need a motorcycle to travel to work
I would go with the 821, you won't be disappointed. I've owned a Honda CBR600RR and a Harley Davidson 48 Sportser (1200). The 821 still has enough power and very comfy for traffic and not hot in the seat.
I own the 821. LOVE IT. The 1200 offers Urban mode also cutting its power. Thus allowing you to break in the bike. However the 821 would be more powerful and more comfortable than the KTM 690. I am 5’7” so the KTM 790 (newer model) was not a good fit.
Starter bike? Perfect for someone who wants to learn to ride? You're gonna get someone killed...this is definitely not a starter bike and definitely not a beginners bike.
I am a beginner and looking to buy my first bike. And I find this bike has urban mode, touring mode and sports mode. It is sounds very good, so I can grew up with it. for example,I can use urban mode at the first year,and later I can change to different mode if I get more experiences. I can release all the power in the future. Do you think is it true?
@@henrywang1538 If you have no background on riding motorcycles, start with the lighter ones. You can always upgrade once you have your skill up and are comfortable with smaller bikes. Yes riding mode helps, but that doesnt teach you the correct physics of riding a bike. This ones too heavy and too big for a newbie to start with. Plus its easier to ride a small bike fast, than a big bike slow...
Don’t buy new unless you’re wealthy and don’t care about depreciation on a non income producing asset. As a new rider you will end up dropping your bike at some point and you will feel sick after dropping your new $13k Ducati.
Got the 821 and I can't understand why people talk about hot in ducatis ... If we were talking about air cooling motorbikes it can make sense but really, I use the monster 821 for everything and it is not hot for me.
The "hot" is more associated with the sport bikes. I test rode the Panigale V2 and you can really feel it since the exhaust pipe is literally underneath the seat.
this is at a dealership? they should know better, the 821 is definitely NOT a started bike in any means. stop trying to sell the wrong bike to the wrong people!!! first off, lots of power and geared low, front wheel comes up when you punch it. it takes seconds to hit 150kmh on this bike and its top speed is well over 200kmh. i drove a 300cc bike until i was far past its limits before i trusted my self with buying the 821 monster. plus if you dump it, you are fixing a $15000 bike instead of a $5000 bike, for shit sake, I run with a group of s1000rr bikes and under 200kmh, i keep pace just fine ! there is NO WAY IN H*#L i will let a new rider try my bike.
@@Avionyx are you talking to me? and yeah, i did, watched the whole video. most countries excluding America, actually know what a beginner bike is, they make you start out on small displacement bikes, the monster is not far off of a liter bike. and I own this bike, its not a beginner bike, not even close. besides you calling it a beginner bike, the rest of the video was good tho, did a good job going over the bike details

this dude in desereves a raise and a bonus.
Yes, Cody is very knowledgeable about all the Ducati they sell!

My fist bike btw!!!!💪💪💪💪
Awesome! Thanks and have fun and ride safe Federico! 🏍

Yes, pictures and video don't give the Monster justice
I want to learn how to ride a motorcycle so bad!
You should!
I brought one before Christmas to learn on but needs some piston ring to get back on the road but that's what I want a monster but cost to much in new Zealand even for the monster 400 so get you one your enjoy it👍
I like the color scheme of that Stealth Monster
So do I! Very attractive!
Any of the monster models are a great bike to start 👍
This trellis is gunna be a classic in 5 more years 😂
Nice ride .i like it
Your video earned my SUBS 👏👏👏
Bro with the quick shifter u can keep the power band up just shift bro 😂
I just put a deposit on a 2020 797. Kinda regretting not getting the 821, but this is my first bike other than dirt bikes
Hey well congrats either way! Ride safe man!
I have the 2015 model. Really happy with it. Great riding position and no shortage of torque.
This is not a bike for new riders though.
totally agree with your whole comment. i just got a 2019 stealth a month ago after spending a few seasons on a bmw 310gs. now the 310gs is a beginner bike
do you think the urban mode will be ok for beginner?
@@henrywang1538 Possibly. If your a new rider your still better off on something that isn't too powerful and get your skill and confidence levels up before attempting bigger capacity bikes.
couldn't disagree more, this was my first bike and it was perfect.
whatever
"Excellent stopping power....." except how Brembo's brake line recall left me without ANY rear brakes 😑🤯🤬
Whoa thats crazyyyy
What about trying to find the elusive neutral gear
Is this a good beginner rider bike?
great job
Hey man can you do one on the Hypermotard 950?
We're working on it 😉
What is the first year the power modes it came in ??
Scrambler its a better first bke👍
noice :D

Go used. Plenty of seriously low mile bikes that are wayyyyyy cheaper than buying new. Dealerships bend you over bigly when you buy new.
I own the 821. LOVE IT. The 1200 offers Urban mode also cutting its power. Thus allowing you to break in the bike. However the 821 would be more powerful and more comfortable than the KTM 690. I am 5’7” so the KTM 790 (newer model) was not a good fit.
I'm thinking to go with the 1200 as I'm a seasoned rider already. Would love to have the extra power while still being in a comfy sitting posture.
What mode did you ride it in?
I don't remember 😆
I wanna give cody my cash, sold it! Lol
Hahaha right on
@@Avionyx great vid too btw mate 👍
Thanks Andrew!!!
Will this bike fit me? I’m 6’2”
Yeah I think you should be ok, Visit your local Ducati dealer and they let you sit on the bikes
Lol I was just there yesterday
muchos comentan que las piezas de esta moto son de muy mala calidad , sera verdad?
English please
Yo la tengo y te aseguro que no hay moto del mismo segmento con mejores componentes y acabados. Las japonesas son plástico puro al lado de ella.
In my country a starter bike is a 125cc bike
I actually took the motorcycle safety and driving course and used 150-200cc kawasaki motorcycles

Or buy some frame sliders to be installed on it.
We send those
My M1100 is way cooler than my M1200, even with the liquid cooling.
