Thanks Jarod, I appreciate that! Hope ya'll are doin well!

I ride in Paris every day with a 821 Dark and loving it ! 😎😍

great review dude, you pretty much talked about what i was lookin for

Dude u need to test all bikes...luv ur commentary. Keep it up

i have the 2015 Dark 821 with Termi pipes. Comfortable, plenty of torque, lots of usable power. and it looks the part. Triumph street triple is a great bike and possibly a better buy but the Ducati just works for me. I do have a Triumph Sprint st 1050 and the triple engine is sublime. Good video.

Oh man, I’ve always liked riding the Sprint ST, excellent bike! The 1050 motor is a classic, couldn’t agree more. Thanks!

Test drove the 797 yesterday. Will go back on purchase day and decide between the 821 and 797. Returning to riding after 32 years. I also test rode the MT-09. I had no problem with the 797. First shift to 2nd on the MT-09 I pulled the wheel off the ground lol. I will probably go with Ducati because I always wanted one.

You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I definitely lean toward the 821! I loved my 797 but the 821 just comes with fewer compromises. Whatever you decide to get, congrats and have fun!

@@woodyracing49 How has the reliability been on your 821? This is a strong contender along with a street triple r, Yamaha mt09 or Triumph speed twin. I ride a lot and I’m worried about the Ducati leaving me stranded out in Timbuktu.

Sounds like the deal I got for my 821. I honestly would have gone with the SC Project exhaust for my 821, if I could do it over again. SC p Matches the bike better.

Nice review. Well done mate.

Looks like your clutch leaver needs a little pull to the left, it might help with your high beam problem

Lube your clutch cable every so often, I say this since it cured my choppy throttle significantly.

I have a feeling a hydraulic clutch conversion will be coming if I keep the 821 long, it’s so weird having a Duc with a cable clutch

7000,- with 600 miles on it is a very good deal, if I see a deal like that I'm buying instantly, but I doubt I'm going to see a deal like that living in Ireland

Oooh I’m still torn on the new Monsters. They’re absolutely better in every way that I wasn’t complaining about and lost a lot of the parts I liked. I’m leaning more towards a Supersport if I get another Ducati though.

I like them and would love to own one, but it hasn’t happened yet. I used to be a Triumph mechanic and I loved their scramblers, so I’m sure the Duc Scrambler with the 800 or 1100 2V would be a blast. Maybe one day!

Yeah the monster 821 is fantastic but why get a 797 with 75hp when the 821 has urban mode which cuts power to 75 hp from 110ish.. 4 years and 33,000 miles owning a 821 and its a love hate relationship.

For me, it’s mostly nostalgia for the air cooled Ducati’s. I had a M695 years ago that I loved, I spent some time in Italy on an 1100S, and my most recent track bike was a 2007 800SS. I just love the look, the sound, and the character of the 2V Ducs. The 821 is only my 2nd 4V Ducati (the other was a 996S). The riding modes are probably great for a new rider though, I agree on that assuming they have the willpower to use them. Hell, my first bike was an F4i when I was 16 and I survived (somehow). And as a former Ducati technician, I actually enjoy doing the valve adjustments on the 2Vs but not so much on the 4Vs.

You cute 😏
