Dealer mentioned to me a brand new 1199s for £16500 they've got to offer similar discount on MTS's to be tempted..
Well that's bullshit. The panels come in pre-painted from the supplier, they just don't order as many batches of white ones.
I must say as people have said on here the prices of a new bike now are stratospheric - id love an aprc RSV4 to replace mine but your looking at over 10k for a new one which is too much - for me anyway...
Having seen the rest of the range today I wouldn't restrict it to the Scrambler...... It's interesting that the Scrambler was on a different stand though.
I don't think the Scrambler's ugly, just dull and therefore un-Ducati-like. Maybe Ducati have said to themselves, right lets have all the proper Ducs for real Ducati riders here but keep that thing we made for the non-Ducati plebs just to please the accountants separate and stick it over there.
Not a fan of the Scrambler but I wouldn't have said the styling was any worse than some other Ducatis e.g. a Monster or Diavel, which both seem to be 50% black plastic...... I think they all look OK, not nice, just OK. Whether Ducati should aspire to be OK is a different question.
