Ducati’s liquid-cooled 937cc packs a good amount of punch for general riding. Adjustable combined engine power and throttle maps let you tailor engine response. (Phewlid Films/)

Ducati engineers did a fantastic job with the styling of the Monster. It’s more tasteful and inline with the original concept. (Phewlid Films/)

The Monster is a fun and peppy city bike. It’s expensive however compared to other vehicles in its class. (Phewlid Films/)

The ‘21 Monster benefits from an updated powertrain. The six-speed transmission is easily the biggest improvement with no more mis-shifts. (Phewlid Films/)

The color TFT display carries over from the now-discontinued Monster 1200. The display looks nice but it could be larger. The user interface could be more slick, too. (Phewlid Films/)
