Ducati has sold more than 290 000 Monsters since the concept was revealed more than 20 years ago.
Ducati says, the essential new Monster 821 "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."
The new Monster, powered by the latest edition of Ducati’s 821 Testastretta 11° engine is capable of 84kW/89Nm and weighs 179.5kg.
Ducati said: "High-spec brakes, excellent suspension and stylish componentry merge with the best ergonomics to offer our most attractive mid-range Monster yet.
"Super comfortable, and with an innovative adjustable seat height, the model also combines eight-level traction control, three-level ABS and three-level 'ride-by-wire' into Ducati’s user-friendly, press-button riding modes."
The Monster 821, Ducati promises, "uses next-generation technologies to create an enhanced rider/motorcycle relationship, delivering a high-adrenalin experience while reassuring with a feeling of complete control and ergonomic integration".
Ducati said prices are yet to be confirmed but buyers can expect to pay about R140 000 for the bike.
