First sight love with the black matte finish. 3 months old now

Just got my first Duc... I'm beyond thrilled.

Had Japanese bikes all my life... but I get it now.

I'm absolutely in love with this Monster 💚.

What's the secret handshake in here?🇮🇹😜

I am interested buying 2015 Ducati monster 821. It has just 2500km on it. but The owner mentioned it never vent to service and break-in-maintenance has not been done yet. He mentioned he did changed the oil and filter.
Bike seems to be really clean and I am interested in buying but it will be my first Ducati. But I am unsure as the bike is posted in the market from last 3years and still available.
What steps should I take so to know if it is a safe purchase.

I made a post recently about picking up my first Ducati. It had low compression on the front cylinder. It ended up having broken ring lands on both pistons. It had 12.5:1 fbf pistons and was punched out to 94mm. Surprisingly, the bores weren't ruined, I was able to clean them up with a quick hone and replaced the broken pistons with some JE 11.5:1 pistons. I found that the ignition timing was advanced. Probably why the pistons failed. But it's back together and running great! Needs a little love since it hasn't been on the road for 13 years. New tires, chain, sprockets and general cleaning up and I can't wait to pile some miles on it.

Got it a few months ago. I love riding this thing, probably one of the most enjoyable bikes I’ve ever owned and ridden. I also like the look of it.

Despite having a track prepped Panigale V2 S, the Monster SP is more fun to ride because it isn’t so serious. Sometimes, having fun is better for the soul than chasing lap times. Sometimes.

On the top..

Hey guys! Pictures shared are pure inspiration detail-wise from different bikes. Mind sharing honest opinions on a Ducati Monster 900 getting a Neon Genensis Evangelion twist to the tank and leaving the other body panels carbon fiber and frame stock. New to wraps, decals and exterior mods. Will post a Pic of her soon, just curious if the Ducati family is against less modest alterations to its appearance. Love any feedback!

Hi, habe gestern bei meiner Monster den Bugspoiler nachgerüstet. Meiner Meinung nach hat der ne starke Wirkung. Hab den im April bestellt und gestern erhalten.

Hello All, this is my 2003 monster 620 dark IE. This is my first Ducati, but the monster is one of my dream bikes so when this one popped up I had to buy it. Unfortunately, it sat for YEARS and I have slowly been getting it going again. In the video the bike is idling just under 140°F at ~1.1k and when I push the idle control switch up, it bogs way down and will cut off with throttle. From my research I've come to throttle body adjustment or Desmo service. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, or have some tips/ tricks that I could try to potentially getting this bike back to being road worthy, thanks!

Ducati 821 & 939 Hypermotard owners I finally have a solution for your cracked, faded, or damaged dashboard screen.

I’ve designed and developed a custom replacement screen bezel and lens specifically for the 821/939 instrument cluster. This setup includes a precision-made replacement lens along with a custom carbon fiber inlaid frame that neatly hides the instrument panel lighting edges for a much cleaner OEM+ finish.

Each unit is fully custom-made by me, tested personally, and designed to help prevent water from entering the cluster solving one of the most common issues with these bikes.

If you’re looking to replace yours, send me a DM. I’ll guide you through the process and show you how to carefully remove the old lens without damaging the cluster, then fit the replacement unit correctly.
