After a year of ownership the Café Racer is a feel good pill for my Sport Classic 1000 blues. The riding position is way more relaxed than I remember from my SC 1000, but the classic aesthetics is where it’s at for me. The only problems I’ve had so far are typical for the air cooled Ducs, heat on hot day, and random false neutrals between 5th and 6th “gare”. Ducati did a great job with the Scrambler variety and it’s ultimately dependent on your experience, comfort and riding style. Want a motorcycle? There’s a Scrambler for that. 🤙
This is my first time watching your videos. Was really surprised and pleased watching the Ducati Scrambler comparison. Also got to watch your small sports bike comparison. Have a lot to decide now but THANKS FOR ALL THE DETAILS OF EACH BIKE. Look forward to seeing other shows.
Spot on reviews on all variants, I’ve owned Ducati bikes for almost all of my riding years ,I’ve ridden all four models and you are correct. The 1100 is the best choice for a more seasoned rider, all the power I need for my style of riding is in the 1100. The smooth delivery and flickability in the twisties makes you just smile. You did forget to mention one important thing about all those variants,it’s the sound they make even on stock exhaust 😎 keep up the great work!
I have a Thruxton 1200R with the extra low clip-ons. While it is a cool as F looking bike, and gets so many comments, I'm at a point where I want something more upright (dodgy shoulder). Ive always loved the look of the Scramblers. I'm now considering a bar conversion or buying something else. So if I were to chose a Scrambler it'd be the 1100.
Good job! Ive got a 2020 Icon and love it. I begged mountain motor to take my money, hah! I wish u could have talked about that model but I enjoyed hearing your take on the rest, very insightful, Tks!
I am a brand new rider and bought an 1100 this year. I would have been disappointed buying anything else. Dont listen to all these people saying you cant get a big bike for your first one, I did it and I was fine.
Reliability and cost is majority factor in any investment. They look nice and sound sweet. But that’s not good enough for me. These bikes were made for the rich man. Because maintenance is extremely expensive as well. Nice video. Excellent cinematics.
I'm in the same boat but keep in mind not everyone is purchasing a motorcycle as an "investment". Some people just have the cash to buy them as toys for lack of a better word so when it comes to those style decisions, fun things like what it looks like and what kind of sound it makes matter far more than things like reliability and cost.
Outro crew. I'd probably go with one of the more upright 800s like the icon dark, looks pretty good blacked out too. But if it was out of these, I'd take the 1100 Sport
Awesome video! I own the 1100 sport and i agree with every observation. If there would be a cross 1100 sport and desert sled, will get that without a doubt. I'm from Manila, Philippines.
Magnific video for me right now!!!! I am just trying to find which is my best option.... I own a multistrada enduro 1260 and I am looking for a second bike... i had the Panigale 1299s but now i am leaving the tracks. I am in love with how café racer looks but i miss some more power and may be a more confortable position. The look ok 1100 sport pro is just wonderfull bit I do not know if that position is as confortable as 1100 pro.... As you see i am really lost hahahah Thanks again for your video
Outro Crew! 1100 for sure! My question is why do we have to have the brake and clutch cables sticking out everywhere on all the scramblers except the cafe? How clean would the 1100 be with the cafe headlight faring and the cable tucked behind it?
OUTRO: Go PRO or no GO! If I was looking at the Scramblers, I'd definitely go with the 1100 Pro (if there were no Hypermotards available, nor Monster 821s).
Hey Chase brand new to this channel, I am 42 and have been riding a Honda CB300R after a very long hiatus since I was 24 of not riding. Last year took my MSF course again after almost 18 years of non riding and bought a Honda CB300R and love it, how light and nimble it is but I feel now sadly it’s time to jump into something bigger, and the reason is that the Honda lacks a little in power delivery. I test drove the 1100 Pro and really like how soft the power delivery was but living in New England and only able to ride for like 5 months if it justifies the price. I am also concerned that I love how nimble and light my Honda is and if an Icon or the Nightshift would be a better fit for me as I am 5.4 with a 29 inseam. Thanks for the video man but I wish you would have included the icon or the nightshift but nether less a great video man. Thank You
Outro: Came here evaluating the sixty2 as a first bike to teach my young adult children and spouse on. I had a Supersport 900 in the past and am also looking for a new Ducati for me. If I bought a scrambler it would probably be an Italia Independent.
I'd probably go with the sixty 2 considering about 80% of the riding I do is commuting. It's light, can handle a dirt road and can maintain highway speeds with passing power to spare.
The 1100 Sport (and Sport Pro) have a more aggressive riding position, but still less than the Cafe Racer. And, while you call it "too much power" I find it to be the Goldilocks bike. I'm 6' 0" with a 33+ inseam, and the ergos and power are just right
*Outtro Crew* I'd get the cafe racer out of all these... I like it most aesthetically, I'm not done doing stupid stuff and 1100cc's may be a bit too much torque for a hot head... Plus I'd feel more comfortable with the CafeRacer on the track than with the 1100
Awesome breakdown Chase! Just get the Desert Sled so you and Yammie can battle it out on an endurance race! 😂 JK. I totally agree with you on the Cafe Racer. Here in L.A. it’s definitely a hot seller. But I would get a Royal Enfield Continental 650 GT instead. You can customize it and it looks really good in person and it only cost roughly around $6000 perfect for around the town good highway bike as well. It’s almost like the Scrambler 62 and Cafe Racer in one bike and it has the old school look and also if you broke ass and can’t afford a Triumph, this is a great option 😂. I would also definitely go with the 1100 Sport Pro. My only deal breaker is that for that $15k price tag, they should at least have a quick shifter and auto blip included for that price. I ended up getting the 821 Monster Stealth. That quick shifter and auto blip is a game changer. Thanks again for your videos! Aloha! 🤙🏾
As someone who knows little to none about working with manuals much less motorcycles but is looking into learning and maybe one day getting a manual and a motorcycle, I would love to get the Desert Sled because of the color sceme, just like Chase lol although I'm not in that silly class as I've been in far too many accidents with cars but who knows I may get converted to the silly class on two wheels. I have a silly idea though, let's set up a GoFundMe for Chase so he can get the 1100 because we all know he loves being silly, I know I do, but at the same time we do want him to be safe so we can have loads of content to watch. Much love Chase.
While I would don't see myself buying a Ducati Scrambler because they are air cooled and too expensive, I would definitely opt for the 1100 if I ever changed my mind. The more cost effective alternatives are a Yamaha XSR700 (or even an SV650) instead of a Scrambler 800, and a 2022 Yamaha XSR900 instead of the Scrambler 1100.
I tried to buy an 1100 Sport a couple years ago and got hit with some major sticker shock. The bike, plus taxes and fees, plus the factory Termignoni system, and I think some other odds and ends on it, was only just shy of $20k. I ended up walking away from it, but I got myself a Monster instead for around $12k. Although I love the Monster I'm still tempted by that 1100 Sport. The local dealership has a stock one in inventory that's been discounted to about $10k, I might just trade my Monster in on it. And now I can definitely afford those Termis!
@@tobiassullivan2161 Idk my inseam, but at 5'7" with short legs im not the smallest rider but im certainly not tall. I'm sure I could handle it on the street but the concept of living the one foot life while offroad on a bike thats outweighs a true dual sport by 100lbs is a little intimidating.
Maybe you guys can help me, im looking to get a project bike but dont know wich, 999cc+, high hp potential like 250 plus n/a, so no turbo or supercharger, fully faired, naked is okey but prefere faired. so a bike with a engine block that can handle alot of hp and get it without a turbo or supercharger. no carbs and a weight of 500ib maximum. pre 2010 or something not too expensive
K5 gixxer maybe? I mean, you ain't getting 250 out of ANY bike without a turbo or a supercharger. If you want THE MOST QUICKEST, the gen 1 busa or k5 is good for you.
Best scrambler: Suzuki SV650. Trellis frame around a sporty V-twin, good ergonomics, lots of parts and accessories, and more affordable than any of the Ducatis. I'm not in love with the retro revival lately. I appreciate putting modern hardware into a package that looks like an older style, but I don't care for that style. If I HAD to get a Scrambler, it'd be the 1100. If you're gonna look like a Duc, you better walk and talk like a Duc.
Amazing video. Please do video like this more. Even talking about maintenance and cost and more... Will a great broadcast. If you like my idea please like it
