I think the SF848 sold pretty well... but this m821 will basically nix that model.

Pricewise, was nixed with the M1200/S, at least for us . . . only $2K separating the SF848 and the M1200S

Did they stop making the SF? Or rumors?   It's the bike I lust after.

I'll be honest. I'm happy to see a Testastretta in a monster chassis.

Do I wish the execution was cleaner? Yes
Would it prevent me from buying one? No.

Coincidentally, having Testastretta reliability is a bigger benefit, imho, than the "ugly" left side is a disadvantage.

I still want an S2r1k but as I get more responsible with age, I'll go for the new shiny with lower maintenance costs, comfier ergos, traction control and ABS.

I do want to see the specs on the size, wheelbase, suspension, etc.

Late to the discussion (and too lazy to sift through 5 pages) so apologies if this has been noted before...

Are there no more 2-valve Monsters being offered???

What I have at the moment:

"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.
 
High-spec brakes, excellent suspension[Kayaba] 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."

SF1098 in the US is already dead, SF848 still selling... but not sure how much longer with the m821 right there.

The question now is if they would offer a liquid-cooled engine in the 600 range.
