2022 Ducati Monster (937) — Should You Buy One?
Typical asking price: $10,000–$13,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.
Kestrel Take
The redesigned Monster ditched the trellis frame for a lighter monocoque and gained a punchy 937cc Testastretta twin — it's the most approachable, usable Monster yet while keeping the Italian style and sound. It's a Ducati, though: valve service (desmo) is pricier and interval-sensitive, and you want a specialist. A clean, well-serviced Monster is a gorgeous, characterful street bike; verify the desmo service and history.
