Starter bike IF you drive in urban mode :D
Yeah....I mean "starter bike" sure but I think intermediate to experienced riders can have a hoot on it.
There's a couple glitches but this is an honest review. Like your energy and enthusiasm. Good job.
A bike for 12k$ with 109hp is definitely not a starter bike. Why the need to classify as such? Especially since in the US you can get a motorcycle license with a weekend course, which barely teaches you how to stay alive on a 20hp bike.
Exactly
its based on personal opinions, personally started on a r1 and had no issue
I have a question if you guys don’t mind, at what age in NY can you get a permit to ride ?

I dont understand why americans and pretty much british say that a 700 or 800 can be a starting bike, in real world rookies start with less than 400 cc, and even though it is dangerous
The clip is for the Retro. Original Monster has a functional clip. Drop some termis on and the sound is incredible. False neutral yes but after the 600 miles service drops off a great deal.
I had a monster 695 and two years ago I bought a monster 821. Now i got myself an mv augusta f3 675 for the track. All awesome choices
How is the f3 675 going? Any issues with it?
@@DundeMan hello. Well I haven't started the season yet so I will let you know. Haha. I'm a bit scared of all the valve head breaking issues but I will just keep it low Rev and warm it up and check valves once in a while. The bike is amazing tho but haven't tried too many R's to compare.
Oh Matty, do you do more than 5min of research before doing these kinds of videos? That clip at the from of the gas tank, it's a throwback to the original run Monsters, and it's a quick release so you can get to the airbox and vertical head without having to completely remove the tank. Then again, seems like only those of us who own and maintain our own Monsters pay attention to this, apparently.
Love the look of that stealth. Wish they would make that in a 1200 version instead...or the V4s
im sure new colors are coming for 21..... but in the meanwhile- this thing dosnt make you miss any powah!
I have this Ducati. I do agree that the shifting is touchy. First to second can be glitchy and even in higher gears it sometimes doesn't want to catch. Besides that, I do love this motorcycle.
totally worth working though the shift details to enjoy this! great mike, way way fun to be on!
The clutch/gearbox does take a little time to seat in, this is common gripe for new bikes. My 2005 Monster doesn't have the same issue, the shifting issue is from me not flicking the lever properly, nothing mechanical.
When they were 1st introduced, QS, they were meant for full throttle upshifts but with time and ecu developments the blipper/downshift part became a feature. People need to know how to use this device and when they work best. I have this bike, not the stealth but red in 2022 and added the DQS part. Works great and cleans up/smooths out the sometimes notch feel at all tge shift points. If you dont know how to shift some bikes or what they require then you can experience shortcomings verses another bikes. Learn/educate yourself then the Italian transmission works great. False neutrals and missed shifts are typically from user error. Also, in my 40 year motorcycle experience, the monster 821 is not a good or great beginner motorcycle. Not by a long shot. Even if thinking Urban ridding mode makes it safer more rider friendly. The 821 front brake is well above 95% of other motorcycles not using Brembo brake setup. Much better feel and bite than most Japanese manufactures brakes Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki.
It’s a great bike, just don’t want to be stuck in traffic for too long... it will roast your inner thigh something fierce.
In my country a starter bike is a 125cc bike
The first naked bike ever?So what was the CB 750?!
One of worst reviews I've seen. "Gas can"? You sound like a used car salesman. Starter bike? No way, others have already commented on this.
You call this the entry level, even though this is the most expensive 821 model at $13k, and you make no mention of the 797 which is the entry bike
i made it clear that you still have to pay to play..... but if you can write the check- this is def the bike to start on!
@@mattymotorcycle1713 there is also KTM 790 Duke R, Kawasaki Z900, Z650, Ninja 650, Yamaha M-07, Suzuki GSX S750, BMW F900, Honda CB650R Neo Sports Café, CBR650R, Husqvarna 701, Ducati 797 and soon the Aprilia RS 660 and Tuono 660 which both probably will be the top of the so called "entry" "beginner" bikes.
Real entry beginner bikes : KTM 390, Kawasaki Z400, Ninja 400, Yamaha R3, Honda CB500, CBR500R, Rebel 500, Husqvarna 401, Brixton 500 and crossfire 500x...
and Royal Enfield (almost their entire line up).
@@THEREALZENFORCE I hear ya. 400 to 500cc seems to entry level these days. 650 and up for intermediate riders and advanced like the litre bikes. I hate labels.
@@stanleyblazeraznik6047 i like the new 2021 Ducati Monster 900 and upcoming Streetfighter V2 but also 2021 Aprilia Tuono 660 and new V4, 2021 MT-09SP, 2020 Suzuki GSXR-1000R, 2021 Triumph Street Triple RS 1200 and Trident 660, Honda Rebel 1100 and CBR1000 Black Edition, so many good bikes are out or coming this year, an amazing time for riders.
The quick shifter is not designed for down shifting, only up shift.
That is 100% incorrect.

Starter bike? What? The 797 is a starter bike
Yes but with Urban Mode same HP as 797 and something to grow into. I have a Stealth went into buy the 797 and walked out the 821. Got rear ended so I traded up to the Stealth. No regrets!!!
I love the Monster, but recently I was able to compare it to Aprilia Shiver and I must say the Shiver is all around better bike at a much better price.
the shiver is great for sure... but as far as bells and whistles: the duc wins and wins- this 821 gets you ready to move to the next level in the range while the shiver is very basic and is not even remotly like a full on RSV4 RF... while this 821 has lots of gizmos right off a panigale V4
Matty Motorcycle for the price of this Monster you can buy a slightly used Tuono, which is exactly like the RSV4 in many departments. Sure, it is not a great starter bike, but it is much much better bang for the buck, in my opinion. Thanks for the great videos, cheers!
I didn’t learn anything from this video lol
797 is the smallest monster now.
starter bike? bahahaha. this is not a starter bike, it hits the 200 mark nice and fast, this guy needs to take a lesson on what a starter bike is. Just added the stealth to my collection and I would not of gotten this thing when i started.
I have this bike and i am telling you it is not for a beginner. Too much power too heavy
what is this starter bike bs? a 110 hp, 200 kg bike as starter, for young? Are u nuts or just marketing bullshitting?
How in the world could you possibly think an 821 would be a starter bike? Hahaha no my man, that’s a terrible advice, I own one and not even in urban mode would I give it to a noob
Mt 07 its a much better first bike👍
Man I think I made me change my mind...engine frame thing wtf! Add sloppy gears, desmo service, hi price... Disappointing
One man's opinion. Remember .... he picked some really gay ass music for his video so take his words with a grain of salt.
The most exciting thing about this motorcycle?
The EMISSIONS... boy let me tell you about these emissions! oh, so so good... all them emissions.
