Ducati Monster 821 to replace 796 in Thailand. Soon...

[Shurup]

Bought a Diavel. Put a 50k thb deposit with the rest of the cash due at the delivery time, which is this coming Thursday.

The Ducati bunch are very tight <deleted>, couldn't squeeze any freebies or extra discounts out of them. It's only a free insurance and registration, tank pad and a 20k cash back voucher that you get out of them. The cash back voucher can be used towards the bike purchase to I will only pay 899k.

The sales guy told me something that confused me. He said I don't need the residence certificate until I receive a license plate and go to register it with the bike. Does it sound correct? I remember when my wife and me bought a Ninja (on her name) all the documents were completed on the spot at Kawa shop and the green book and a license plate arrived by mail a month or so later, everything was already registered and done.

But now I need to go somewhere else to register it AFTER I pick the bike up? Confusing.

[Shurup]

Forgot to mention, got a free Ducati water with purchase!

So went down to the Motor Expo yesterday. The Monster 821 is coming either end of 2015 or early 2016. They didn't know why it comes here so late but one reason might be that they will be completely loaded at the factory with Scambler orders as they build them for the whole asian market and it seems they sell very well. They have a capacity of 40 Scramblers daily. Much more than the other models.

I provided all the documents (passport, work permit etc) on the day I collected the bike, then I received the plate and book in my name around 2 months later (last Saturday).

That was Ducati Vibhavadi. Seems weird not to provide the documents until you get the plate...

The Thailand factory is not yet setup to build the 821; as you mentioned they are focusing on the Scrambler, as this will be the first Ducati only assembled in Thailand and sold worldwide (Normally Thai assembled ducs going to ASEAN countris only)

[Shurup]

I asked a sales guy about M821 and he said Aug 2015. Price is still unknown but he said it will be over 500k thb.

[brfsa2]

Shurup, congrats on your new Bike!

[Shurup]

The quick review would come shortly on Thursday or Friday. I will go straight to Korat after I pick the bike up and that is about 400 km trip. Gonna have an oil change and then back to moo ban. It will hey a nice break in and a first service all in a first day!

Congrats, i've been admiring them recently, especially the carbon which I saw for the first time on saturday.

They are very tight, when the phuket branch was opened, i bought an 848 in their first month or so, they gave me t-shirts and all sorts, practically a fanfair when i picked it up, 3 years later i picked up a hyper, didnt even get the insurance or registration, got nothing, not even a handshake on collection haha.

I provided cert of residence on collection both times, but both times the plate didnt come for months, so I got a phone call when they were ready to register it then had to go and do the certificate again as the first ones expired - seems to be the way with ducati, no hyper owners had their plates on TV for many months, got mine after 10 months!

Enjoy the new ride!

Isn't it illegal to ride on the road as long as they don't register the bike? It also means you are riding without por ror bor, the standard government insurance.

I always thought they had to register it as soon as it was sold.

[eisfeld]

Bikes and cars are only fully registered when you get the white plate as far as I know. But in the meantime you are allowed to drive with the red plate that you get from the dealer themselves but you can't leave the province or drive when the sun is down. You also need to show the purchase papers when requested by police. But I have never seen the red plate stuff being enforced.

[powdermonkey]

Congrats on the purchase Shurup.

When I picked up the M796, all I did was show passport and Work permit and rode away on the red plate. Normal white plate arrived 3 weeks later along with the final paperwork.

Sorry to say but the Duc water is a regular thing........haha

[Shurup]

Dammit, I hoped it was Italian too. Hahaha.

With work permit everything is easier. Unfortunately I don't work in Thailand anymore so have to deal with the same BS as the rest of the folks.

Well if you are having troubles and find it easier to register the bike in someone else's name, I might be able to help out........

Good luck sorting it out.

[Shurup]

Haha, thanks mate but no, it will be in my name. I have a wife on whose name I purchased 2 bikes already. This one will be mine and mine only. I think I figured out all the documents and have all I will need for the registration. Picking it up tomorrow morning.

Exactly, you never know what is going to happen in the future. The previous 2 bikes are cheap enough so I won't cry if I lose them, but not this one.

[eeeya]

anyone got any idea / gossip if the price for the 821 will come down from the 700k+ price being plastered all over the internet?

[Shurup]

The price will definitely come down when they start assembling them here, right now all M821 are imports and so come with the hefty import tax. Not sure who wants to buy them at this price tag as for these money you can get a lot better Ducati bike than the Monster.

[eeeya]

Oh OK.. I didn't know they weren't manufacturing them here yet. Crazy money

[eeeya]

what's going on here! Maybe see it April to may.. Price TBA

[Shurup]

Sweet! Wondering what they will want for it.

Taking western prices into account where Hyper costs more than the M821, M821 here should be just below the Hyper price which is 500K THB.

[eeeya]

The Thai guys discussing it on fb think it will be around the hypermotard price due to being assembled in Thailand.

[bramds]

The lovely girl at Ducati told me it will be over 500K baht.

All will be revealed at the motorshow at the end of this month.

[eeeya]

Price drop on the remaining stock of 796's?

[RubberSideDown]

Going by US prices, the 796 was $11,695- the 821 red or white is $11,495 (the 'dark' is $10,995)- I bet it sells for the same 450K as the outgoing model- I'd be surprised if it's 500K.

[Shurup]

X2. I don't see how it can be more than the Hyper considering all the global prices. Most likely scenario is that 796 will be discounted, if there's any left by the time 821 shows up.

[bramds]

Ok if you don't want to believe my first-hand info. Just wait for the motorshow then.

Is it produced here or still imported?

Sorry bramds, your 1st hand info came from a sales girl, you said it yourself. Sales people are known to pull the info out of their &lt;deleted&gt; at times, also many have zero knowledge about the bikes they're selling.

Not trying to discredit you but like it was mentioned above, elsewhere in the world, the new monster costs less than the Hyper. And yes I'm talking about the locally made bikes.
