I have had five Ducati's and this one is the most fun for sure. But not only that, it is a riders bike and can go like a rocket if desired. Good video. I love my 2016 icon.

Had this bike a few years ago. I really wanted to love it as it's so cool to look at and it's switch-on-and-go basic, rough and ready feel is appealing. But in reality it just doesn't handle that well compared with so many others. I changed the tires and it improved radically but still wasn't great at cornering. Acceleration is ok but not thrilling, brakes are just average. I'm glad that they changed the cockpit info as it was very poor. It still has oodles of cool but I feel is more of a marketing package than a real bike. You can certainly have fun with it and look great on it. Really depends what you want a bike for.

Nice review, thanks. Two questions. How does the Scrambler handle a spirited ride on bqck roads? Is the air cooled bike a bit hot riding around twon on the hottest days?
@tbraun5132 ай бұрын
I love the exhaust "wrap around" style on the Ducati, but I think for style to price, I prefer the Triumph Scrambler 900. I like the better sound of the Triumph and the exhaust is nicer with the dual pipes. The Ducati headlight looks cheap to me for some reason, almost as cheap as a Honda Rebel (its probably that plastic look than glass.)

If you can look beyond the electronics and stickers and the hype(which cost nothing) this is nothing more than a money saving exercise. From the plastic covered tank, as opposed to the original steel jewel of a tank, relocation of the rear shock, which looks just like any other bike, the previous shock position made the bike really stand out, The original seat looked padded and stitched. This new one looks like a cheap piece of plastic, exhaust pipe looks like it’s been made out of a can of beans. The previous exhaust manifold had lovely bends that swooped around the engine profile, the new one looks like something I would bend up in my Garage cheap! and to add insult to injury, I paid £7500 for my icon Brand-new in 2016. They are now asking £10,000. Now, if they put a second front disc, and maybe an updated engine we might have been on the right track, but no !
