Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Monster 821 2017
The Ducati Monster 821 fits perfectly into the gap between the entry-level Monster 797 and the top-of-the-range Monster 1200. The Monster 821, with its many electronic gadgets such as adjustable ABS, adjustable traction control, riding modes and colour TFT display, is more in line with the 1200 models. The typical V2 engine with desmodromic works powerfully but also very harmoniously, the chassis lacks adjustment options, especially on the fork, but the comfortable compromise can still be seen and felt. Visually, there is nothing to criticise anyway, the Monster 821 is also clearly recognisable as a Monster and, above all, in the yellow paintwork, a worthy model for the 25th anniversary of Monster.

What works for the "small" Scrambler 800 models is now perfected for the Scrambler 1100: A powerful, high-torque "old school" engine that fits the concept wonderfully, paired with a great braking system and high-quality chassis components. This makes the Scrambler 1100 extremely comfortable on the one hand, but also very sporty and superior to any cafe racer in tight cornering. The look is also right, the 1100 models were designed with much more attention to detail than the 800s. As expected, the price is therefore much higher.
