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
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!’
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...
