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.

Love Tim, Love Motobob - Dream team! Great review!

Saw you cruising around Valencia along with other people testing this bike!

Love your videos! Only thing i would improve at this point: longer reviews!

Bob was right to be jealous of Tim’s trip. The podcast combined with these reviews are great. Nice work. 👍🤪🇨🇦

Gorgeous bike. Scramblers are always so cool

Love the look and that it dares to be different. Would be very happy to bop around one one of these. Great review as always Tim.

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.

Love the look they need to do an sp version , and give you a choice on tyres .

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?

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.)

Can’t believe how different you look without the beard! AMAzing. It’s taken years off you and improved your hair too! 👌Never liked the previous off set rear damper. Looked a mess

Looks like you just left school!

Does it still burn your leg like the older one?

For a 6 4 person would it be a comfortable ride?

Glad the bike is still good. I prefer my 2015 tank way better though.

does it heat like the previous model?

Really like this but at 190m height its to small for me i think wish they would make these a bit more buff

I do very much like the looks of this new version. However, to me, anything over 250cc should be liquid cooled. :)

I love TFT displays, but they've made a meal of it here. The square shape in the round surrounding unit looks a bit half arsed

Has it got a fuel Guage?.

Good job Tim.

My favorite missing part that ridiculous front brake line looping up over the top of everything. Thank god that’s gone

For stock, this sounds really good.

Is there any heating issues in this model compared to previous scrambler icon

the old look was so much better.

Would be nice to have a set of real mudguards. Sometimes it rains in the UK.

Yeah Quadlock! Shredder your camera for online 200 bucks! Sassy support included!!

I would like to see the 936 motor in that bike,then it would move.

Love the Scrambler but WAY too expensive.

Could you do a yearly, seven day long easy going tour with some dry bags thrown on the back?

ill rather the old one instead the old 1 looks more agressive compare to this

What are those pants you have on, please? The ones you reviewed a short while ago on Urban Rider? On the subject of this bike, I don't like the slither of plastic from the front of the tank. Ruins the looks. TFT! Although it doesn't look bad. Shorter wheelbase, lighter: is it as stable at speed?

@@ivoaferreira Those Icons are just neo retro nakeds. As you said - Desert Sled is the only true Scrmabler and unfortunatelly is not updated :/

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 !

Cool. Now I’m going to scour the Internet for specs and price and drool and vacillate over what bike I’m going to get that I can’t afford, but somehow will justify, lol.

i love this bike😍

It’s got pretty average suspension, the engine is a stressed member and also the lowest hanging fruit yet it’s a scrambler? Ryan said it best: buy the Scram 411 because it’s a small fish in a fake pond.

Are you a hipster with too much cash ? We have a bike for you !

Sorry, but those nailed on rad cowls look crap. A rather unrealistically positive review - you didn't mention the price... 😢

I thought the same about the price at first, but it's on a par with the Triumph Scrambler 900 now, and that bike is way heavier, lower in power, far fewer features. So I guess the price of everything is just going up and up?

Too much plastic for a retro-inspired bike.
