New Ducati Scrambler

[Kawasicki]

Both looks and spec are ok by me, I like to see Ducati making cheaper models.

[CAPP0]

Speaking as a total non-Ducatista, I really like it. I think it hits current trends, styles, requirements bang on the head, and with the variants available and (presumably) forthcoming customisation options, it should sell in spades. Personally my only issue is that the bars look a bit too high - presumably easily rectified.

[Mr Noble]

I have no self restraint or patience. Just ordered one. (Despite being hugely put off by the terrible marketing video)

Will make a good companion to my '82 BMW R100 and F800GS.

Went for this version. Mmmmm Termis

[Obiwonkeyblokey]

very tempted by exactly the same one. to accompany a blade.

Or a scout?

Good choice
I think Ducati have hit the nail bang on the head with this one. Ok, so it'll be about as adept at scrambling as a shopping trolley, but like superbikes and Adv bikes, how many actually get used as intended???

I quite fancy the classic



although i think it needs a high pipe on the side..

mmm maybe one of these and keep the 695, or sell the 695 and get an M821....

[Graham]

or maybe this one




anyone found a uk price for the new model yet ?

I like it till I saw where the rear spring is. FFS, it's stuck out the side like some sort of after thought. If you want to make a retro scrambler how hard is it to fit a proper twin shock rear end? They'd have to break the habit of not supplying a complete bike by fitting both sides of the swingarm though

It's got both sides - but the still fitted the shock off centre? Looks odd but I like it.

I wasn't sure, 95% of the video didn't feature the bike so I was still undecided what it looked like at the end.

Now I can actually see the bike I like it a lot

Bloody typical. Just as I decide I want an old Ducati Scrambler next year, they make a new one! Now the old ones will get more priceyerer

[srob]

Aren't they already far more money than these new ones?!

[Andy XRV]

I didn't want one until I saw this video. It made me realise just how cool even I could be if I owned one

the one in the pic i posted is 6995 for the old one

[CAPP0]

Looking again, I have to say that the more I look at this the more I want one. Or at least to try one. The only Ducs I have ridden were of the 99* era and I have to say that at the time, I couldn't wait to get back on my IL4.

I haven't seen a recent bike come out that I've really wanted for a very long time (I think the KTM 990SM-T was the last one to push my buttons). I thought I was all done with modern/new bikes - having bought and enjoyed brand new bikes in the past, I still have 5 bikes but the newest is my 2004 WR450 and the next two after that are both 1996!

Hmm, where's my nearest Duc dealer….

If Rumple's correct, the same as the new one then

Have seen the older ones for not far off 10k, whether they sell for that is another question I suppose!

[crofty1984]

I saw a two resto jobs/basket cases on the continent for less than £2000 the pair. If I'd not been buying a house right now I'd have jumped in a van and shot over!
But yeah, in good nick they're not cheap, especially over here

They are ISIL !!!

[Tall_Paul]

In the Intermot thread they said the price was "only slightly more than a monster 796" and they're £7995 for the ABS version, so we could be looking at £8495...
