2015 Ducati Monster 821
Ducati has continued the cull of their air-cooled power plants by announcing the brand new Monster 821, a mid-size entry for the third generation of the iconic naked model. Following the successful unveiling of the new generation Monster 1200 at the Milan International Motorcycle show in November, Ducati now introduces the Monster 821, a mid-size version of the exciting new model and the latest entry to the world of Monster.
Having delivered over 290,000 Monsters since the original concept more than 20 years ago, the essential new model maintains its stylish character using the new chassis and muscular styling of the Monster 1200, designed with premium components fully integrated with Ducati’s latest technologies.
Powered by the latest edition of Ducati’s highly successful 821 Testastretta 11° engine, the highly accessible new Monster combines 112hp and 65.9ft-lb of torque with an impressively lightweight 179.5kg – 395.7lb (dry weight) overall package. This stylish mix of minimalism and performance paves the way back to the original essence of the Monster concept, where less-is-more and made-in-Italy combine to create a motorcycle lifestyle.
High-spec brakes, excellent suspension and stylish componentry merge with Ducati’s best-yet ergonomics to offer the Italian manufacturer’s most attractive mid-range Monster ever. Super comfortable and with an innovative adjustable seat height, the model also combines 8-level traction control, 3-level ABS and 3-level Ride-by-Wire into Ducati’s user-friendly, press-button Riding Modes.
Available in Ducati Dealerships from July 2014 onwards, the Monster 821 Dark is presented in dark stealth with black frame and black wheels, while the Monster 821 is dressed in Ducati red with red frame and black wheels or star white silk with red frame and matte red wheels. Both red and white liveries are equipped with colour-matched single-seat covers.

It will probably be $12,500. A little more than the Hypermotard but surely a grand less than the Monster 1200.
Other than the engine, the 821 should cost the same to manufacture and build as the 1200, so the engine, suspension, plastic tank instead of aluminum, and swingarm will be different/cheaper.
The 1200 ain't no beginner's bike. The 821 would be a good one at that.
Also, insurance will surely be significantly less expensive. 1200cc is no joke and insurance companies hate the thought of their capacities. Anything below 1L is preferred by insurance.
For non-US countries, the bike is taxed differently based on the engine size. Although the US loves bigger engines, most other countries prefer smaller ones.
