Scrambler Picture

If Ducati had simply said: "Here is our new bottom-of-the-range low-budget vanilla porridge bike with basic specification, sorry it's a bit boring but what do you expect at the price?" well, sales might be a bit limited. So they have tried to launch it with a bit of razzamatazz, a bit of history, a bit of mystery, and a big dollop of marketing hype. Good luck to them - it might just work.

 

I like it.
And it will do what I said earlier.

 

Predict the following...

It's got a dssa.
They should be red.
It's only got one front caliper.
ktm's are better.

 

Yep I still think it's shit. It's a cheap and nasty looking Ducati, but it'll sell by the bucket load.

 

I think it will be a success. Reserve judgement until seen in the flesh on the looks though.

Wish it had kept the tank badge like this and not the dumb Scrambler one

 

needs spoked wheels, ally tank & mud guards.

 

Proper.

 

By the end of the week

 

$8,500

 

Well I quite like it and as long as it's not built for a midget and looks good in the flesh I feel another bike joining the bike party in my garage.

 

I like. With sensible pricing they'll shift loads.

 

By bizarre coincidence I had some vanilla porridge yesterday and very nice it was too.

 

I prefer Apple and Cinnamon Porridge myself.

 

I like it, I reckon they'll sell loads of these.

These two models in particular for me: ​

 

I think they do look good - although only one brake disc is always a bit crappy - looks cheap.

 

They did, on the "classic" version:

 

Add another vote to the 'like it' camp.

 

Nope. As it stands there, above no - looks like a parts bin special. Noticeable worst parts apart from all of it...rear mudguard, handlebars, front mudguard, seat....actually scrub that - all of it....will take great pleasure next time im in riders - yeah ill deliberately stare at it so a rep comes over and tries to flog me one....then ill say its shit. Ill enjoy that...
