the boggest problem to me is the name, but once you get over it this is an italian naked bike to cruise around that actually looks good. And as proven by the sheer number of scambler sold people can say what they like, but there is a market for this sort of bike. Not everybody wants a transformer looking, rock hard suspended sportbike without a faering
I'm with you. I have the scrambler icon 803 and after owning it for 3 - 4 months I'm addicted to the special feel of riding this bike, its easy, fun ride, it's character & personality, and what you call its magicalness. I also have a 2021 street triple rs, which I'm crazy about, what a great bike, but a little less crazy about it since I've been riding the scrambler. And wondering if I moved up to the 1100 is it going to have the easy going fun ride of the 803... In my neck of the woods, southern arizona, dealers don't have demo bikes... you buy it, then you ride it
Monsters still nicer. .. Though a. I can't afford one b. They still have electric gremlins, not as many as they did but they do and c. I still can't afford one. The idea is great it p robabaly rides great too.
I ride a 20 year old 900ss, serviced every 2 years/5,000 miles and it runs great never gives me a problem. I thought the new Ducatis were supposed to be even better.
2:50 mark is when we begin the Ducati-speak re character thst is "hard to put into words" journalist's have been using for yrs to justify paying more for less as the "new" engine makes less performance than the old monster. Also the H Bolt reference is lost on this bike.
You guys puff it up to keep getting invited back by the manufacturer. All I hear is "The motor is a detuned and boring lump, it cant actually go off road, and its bleh. Its closest competition is a Harley."
This video convinced me this bike is definitely not on my hit list at all. So many better bikes than this on the market. A single OHC, and really low power for such a big bike, so where’s the tech? (No offence to the Bike Show, cos your videos are still cool) I wonder about all the people complaining about how expensive the Vitpilen is... try this ridiculous bike for ‘overpriced!’
Might be. Don't get me wrong, I like it, and I have test driven the smaller one. At the end of the day, for the money, I always lean towards adventure bikes that you can have 3 cases, go anywhere, have proper wind protection, etc.
same, and most of all I cannot forgive that tiny burning oven that is the ducati air cooled engines, I'm just saying that in all honesty most contemporary bikes are just unnecessary, who needs 140 hps on the street com'on? but bikers do love to buy with their guts so if ducati invested in such a market and sold so many of these that's proof that there are many people that would splurge for a nice looking bike rather than an uncofortable race monster. PS. If I had all the money i want i too would lean towards upright toury-bikes
Why anyone with half a brain would choose this over a monster 821 if buying new is beyond me. 821 is cheaper to buy, way way longer valve intervals, better horsepower numbers, fully adjustable suspension on the 821stripe model, sounds better out the box. Like seriously, other than a nice styling piece, whats the point of this dumbed down 1100 evo engined thing?
i'm pretty sure the whole point is exactly what you said, styling. there are at least forty six thousand people willing to pay for style, and apparently, that's enough for duc to keep making them.
greg alford Maybe some people don’t like the look of the monster line. Ever think of that? 😂 The monster line is also larger and the sitting position is drastically different. But, I’m guessing you’re a kid who’s too immature to even ponder those factors.
All I hear in this video is a reviewer doing his best to create words that don’t exist, constantly sensationalizing basic hohum statistics. Any bike that needs that much word pazaze tells me the bike is simply not all that special.
Ducati are now like bmw just thro a load of bits in the air see wot comes down in a pile ..that's the next model !!!change names hike the price bosh job done... good business but uuuughhhh it's all getting to much...ps. who the......!!! said the brake line should go skyways first then down. 😣...from dave from GB..like your show guys...
So cool we can hear the engine sounds instead of stupid music.
I agree, music sucks

I would love a cafe racer version of this bike!

Donno, boeta, you're poetic in your magicalness.
Great video, really like these Ducati Scramblers. Maybe Tinkerbell will spread a bit of dust and make one appear for me, the 800 Icon will do
I totally agree with you it should have had the full fat evo motor in it to make it worthwhile.
It sounds like the engine on my old R1100GS. Torque over power. Nick J
Portugal Lisboa is beautiful
Nice video thanks guys :)
Think the new 120 scrambler is going to win this one.
Sweet, but I still think my 803 cc scrambler hits the sweet spot, in terms of looks, weight and power.
magicalness... ¬_¬ Can Pirelli make a tyre that doesn't suffer from white-line wander?
85hp for R223 000 and an 1100 engine! Fuck that
That exhaust will be a nightmare to keep clean.
Ducati is following Honda's lead with the CB1100EX; big motor, low power.
Very little ground clearance?
So it's basically an old-school air-cooled V-Twin. If that's what I wanted I'd just go buy a Harley. No thank you.
c'mon, those old Ducati air-cooled L-twins are awesome :)
They always forget engine sounds in reviews. :-(
1st. Which means absolutely nothing! 😄
Tubeless tires?
Looks like the Yamaha MT-03!
Took a good engine and ruined it....NO
Thank Euro4 regulations. Keen to see how much difference an exhaust and tune will make.
Are all the Scrambler 1100s going to leave the factory with that giant loop of brake line coming out of the master cylinder?
Distracting, isnt it? I can only think that it was intentional, to give it another styling cue that connects it to a dirt bike??
orangelion03 Could be. I don't know vintage scramblers very well, so maybe that's the case.
a bit disappointing they didn't go with a single sided swing-
arm
they have the monster for that
That engine doesn't deserve traction control or corner abs. Has the same power as a half cc Honda cb650r.
"You're not Shakespeare's my son" 😂
👍❤🇸🇾
use mojo instead magicalness

Rich men toys.
aren't all sportsbike?

rather have a Desert sled
Where’s Christopher I agree, more diverse and looks better
magicalness = big, heavy, slow and overpriced. - love the Bike Show but the Scrambler not so much.
probably better as a city machine :) [ua-cam.com/video/-zQcjguAgzA/v-deo.html]

agree. This bike is dumb.
magicalness :) thats why
You mean the new monster 821? Or what year are you specifically talking about?

This or Kawasaki Z900RS?
Sturat5150 Neither...MT09
ok, but what about someone that want a bike that looks like one instead of a bike that looks like a transformer?
Why does Ducati insist of making their bikes sound like a wet fart

Shitty bike....enough of all these models...
uglyiest bike ever next to vespa scooter
