The good thing about the new monsters is that I have no desire to trade in my 2012 796.

I find the reactions on this thread hilarious. When the S4 was first launched, the Monster "purists" were screaming about the extra plumbing. When the 696 came out, all owners were up in arms because of the lack of trellis. Now the 1200/821 comes out and the guys with 696/796/1100 are up in arms. If I was still interested in riding on the street, I would be looking at upgrading to the 1200s.

If I want to ride on the street, I'll ride my M900.

It still runs.

I recently saw the 1200S Monster in person at the dealership. It does look great in person. The tank is sculpted, the seat is wide and comfortable, and the general fit and finish is amazing. Yes, the engine still looks busy and covered in person, but the tradeoff is 112 HP without much additional weight.

But then again, I'm not in the market for a new bike just yet, so maybe what I say doesn't matter much.  Smiley

But yeah, engine is busy, but then again, so is the one of the air cooled 1100 EVO.
With the new 1200, you get more power, better delivery, and a metal tank.

IMO Ducati should bring back the classic line, where it can keep old trellis, and air cooled clean design.

Suppose we'll be seeing that on your build sometime soon?

821 is listed at 112 hp on the Ducati site...so that's their rating at the crank. Probably like 100-105 at the wheel. Not all that bad really for a street-tuned twin.

Oh...and the 821 is even more of a mess than the mini Diavel Monster 1200 to look at. I'm sure it's a fine bike, but  vomit
