Wow! congrats. You will enjoy it way past the honeymoon, no worries.
It's such a fun bike. As much as I like to ride the Panigale, I enjoy the change-up to the Monster.
The Monster is so nimble at low speed relative to the 959 and like you wrote, it's relaxing.
After your comment, I noticed also that there's no 821 dedicated page but that makes sense. Other than displacement and the double sided swing-arm, it's essentially the same bike as the 1200. We'll catch-up on ducatimonster.org and Ducati.ms also. Cheers.
