Monster

The 937cc Monster is Ducati's most accessible entry point: a 414-lb V-twin with a 32.5-inch seat and modern electronics that is genuinely manageable despite 111 hp. Budget for desmodromic valve service every 15,000 miles — roughly $800–$1,200 at a dealer — or buy used at $8,500–$11,500 and factor it into your total cost of ownership.
