Отзыв-обзор-тест на Ducati Monster 821 Dark. Owner's review of Ducati Monster 821 '2015

The Ducati Monster 821 Dark test drive is both a review and a test drive of the newest 2015 Ducati Monster 821 motorcycle. *** So, about the design • Aggressive design – could be confused with the expensive Monster 1200 • Exhaust system on the right • Engine and swingarm in the same color • Complex shape of the 18-liter steel fuel tank • Stylish mirrors and fenders (both front and rear) • The passenger seat shape is old-fashioned • The underseat space is poorly thought out • The high handlebars provide a comfortable position, but it's hard to press against the fuel tank at speed *** About the engine • Liquid cooling • Very peppy engine with low and midrange • Top speed of 225 km/h • Wonderful sound when you release the throttle – clearly audible • Electronic throttle • Low lows, high highs • Gets noticeably hot • No gear indicator • No hydraulic clutch *** About the chassis • 43mm inverted forks • Very nimble, like all the others Ducati – easy to navigate in traffic jams • Slight wobbling occurs at high speeds • 10-spoke alloy wheels • Non-adjustable suspension • Classic rear swingarm, but the stand won't fit – the ABS sensor gets in the way • Engine is part of the frame *** Everything Else • High-performance brakes • ABS and DTC available • Three riding modes: city, highway, sport • Ambient temperature • Good night lighting • Price depends on the bike's color • The license plate came loose after 4,000 km • The passenger footpegs are a bummer – they dangle
