Struggling with the extra weight of my Triumph Bonneville T100, I've been considering trading her in for something smaller in weight. My main dilemma- I don't want a cruiser look, and I don't want a sport bike look, so I have few options with an in-between look that weighs 400lbs or lighter. About time I test ride the Ducati Scrambler, then.

Scrambler has hazards lights. Hold the left signal for couple seconds then the hazards turn on. Just remember the Scrambler is Air cooled. It runs heat normally. Glad you enjoyed the Scrambler.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

thanks!

@Nirvash24 7 лет назад

Doodle On A Motorcycle No problem. I'm enjoying my Scrambler. And I know you would enjoy it if you pick one up.

@tijuanero4154 6 лет назад

Thanks

@johncourt9580 3 года назад

Hi Doodle, this was a very detailed review of the Ducati Scrambler Icon and you were so enjoying the ride to the point that you wished you'd test ridden it before your bonneville but the heat from the exhaust is a real problem (link inserted). I get so much out of your reviews you're an authority on highlighting the good and the bad features, so important to would be purchasers.

@johncourt9580 3 года назад

Hi Doodle, Your enthusiasm for the Scrambler is infectious and the heat problem you highlighted, is easily fixed with an exhaust heat wrap, I just watched the video, which resulted after showing this video, a good result and a great help to Scrambler owners.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 3 года назад

Oh man, thanks so much for that tip!!

@vegasbattleborn1594 7 лет назад

Catching up on vids. I can't offer any advice because you're the only one who knows what is "right" for you. If I were in your position though, I'd probably take the year of learning the new weight especially because it's a beautiful nicely sized bike. It's built heavier for freeway travel which again may not be what is needed. You do what's right for you!

@aznman3511 6 лет назад

Thank you for your videos, you have great content which inspires more riders. Your dimensions with the bike reviews helps men and woman in the same category get out and ride.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 6 лет назад

Thanks, Matt!

@hawkrider88 6 лет назад

I have to say...as a new rider I'm impressed with how relaxed you seem to be on the interstate. I rode for a year before my first interstate ride and the grooves in the road, the speeds and the multi-lane traffic were all a bit disconcerting at first. Interstate riding is still not my preference if I have options. Good luck, and yes....check out the Street Twin. PS: Bring a friend and ride up to TWO in Suches some weekend. You're likely to see hundreds of bikes and if I"m there, we can compare short bikes.

@EdwardFagan07 5 лет назад

Hi Doodle, I really like your presentation so I've subscribed. I'm going to buy a Ducati scrambler for sure, but I'm thinking more about one of the three new 1100 cc models.

@gotahgemini6415 7 лет назад

I like this one! Whatever you feel comfortable riding, go with that.

@markwith140 7 лет назад

Doodle, have you tried a monster 797, basically the same engine but in a monster body. I had a scrambler for a couple of years and I loved it, the engine is sweet. It is very easy to ride and live in urban and commuter settings. The heat is a little problem, but only when stopped at lights. Finally I had no reliability issues with my scrambler.

@timontwo9637 6 лет назад

Sweet video! Definitely swaying me in favor of this as my first motorcycle. Step up from a scooooot 🙌🏼

@p016264 3 года назад

Did you end up getting one? :)

@TheFred1952 7 лет назад

best of luck with what ever you chose

@racer2c 7 лет назад

Cool bike doodle. Nice review 👍🏼🏍

@mattingray5651 5 лет назад

When you said "There is a lot of heat coming from my thigh" I was just thinking about the air-cool engine. Until you said "Perve, don't say anything". For a second, I have no clue, until it sinks in. I have to laugh so hard.

@01jimmyjazz 7 лет назад

Larger bikes like your Bonneville and the Ducati are much happier on the open road than in all that city traffic. I think you might be too. Ride the Bonnie to the mountains and spend some time away from all the traffic. Have your mechanic add some freeplay to the throttle cable to ease the fast response, he can do it while you wait, it should only take a few minutes and if he's a good guy he probably won't charge you. Whatever you choose to do I wish you safe riding and lots of fun and adventures on two wheels, jj.

@tahoehiker 7 лет назад

Hey Doodle, new subscriber with a little advice for you. Yes, the Scrambler is a great bike and you would have a lot of fun on it BUT before you give up on the Bonnie spend more time with it. Learn how to pick it up. Its just like jiu jitsu, its all about the technique. Watch a few of the suggested videos then (with a friend or two around for moral support) actually lay the Bonnie down (gently! ) and pick it up. I think once you have the confidence that you can handle it you'll get back the excitement for the bike that you had when you test rode it. Good luck :)

@zambam3 7 лет назад

Great video! I would say the Ducati Scrambler is a good bike for your size. You could also try a Moto Guzzi V7. I think they are good for shorter riders as well. Cheers, Rob

@2livluvnsurf597 6 лет назад

I have a 2015 Icon and I am at 5'3", definitely burned my legs while riding back from Miami and getting stuck in rush hour traffic. I only had jeans on. Air cooled. Nature of the beast. On long rides, I wear overpants, even in central Florida. The Olympia pants I have are awesome.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 6 лет назад

shoooooot, WTF ducati??

@BBRFST 6 лет назад

Hi, have you ever tried the Triumph Bobber? Curious how you would feel about it

@Strawberry80x 6 лет назад

Cool video I love the scrambler and bonnie ... you have nice mentality towards riding (speed limit comment enough for you) I te d to have the same approach its how the bike makes you feel.

@MetalFacedGamer 5 лет назад

I'm only 15 sec into the video. I appreciate the good audio.

@Boysenberr 7 лет назад

Excellent submission, Doodle. Take your time, ride everything, noting carefully all short-comings of each bike, and ask yourself, honestly, if you can live with them. The more time you take in this investigation, the better will be your result.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

truth!! thanks, Julio!

@Darkrider8500 3 года назад

Did you end up getting it,? I had an Atomic orange Icon, one of funnest bikes I’ve ever had What pissed me off was it started very weak, and Pandora’s was to busy with Ducati warranty issues apparently to fix it in a reasonable time I traded for a R9T Pure and eventually traded it for a 2105 Bonneville New Church. Which I love

@holoholohaolenokaoi2299 7 лет назад

Ducati Scrambler is a handsome and nimble bike - looks great on you Doodle

@robertcampbell5627 7 лет назад

I want to ride blood and do the Tail as well. Great video! I live in South GA. Subbed!

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

me too!!

@karenrice9538 7 лет назад

You should test ride a Triumph Street Twin. I am 5'3" and I love my Street Twin. The Street Twin is rated better than Ducati Scrambler in reviews. I enjoy your commentary while you ride, your enthusiasm makes me smile.

@karenrice9538 7 лет назад

l m Maybe she thinks it will be like her Bonneville. The Street Twin is very easy to ride and very forgiving of little mistakes. The ABS and traction control on the Street Twin are good safety features especially for newer riders.

@karenrice9538 7 лет назад

l m You have good taste in bikes, enjoy your ride!!!

@p016264 3 года назад

Hello! I know I’m late to the party :) Just bought a 2019 Ducati scrambler “full throttle” as my first bike. It is AWESOME! The 2019 model has gear indicator, ABS, cornering ABS, and hasards has it’s own switch. I can see how heat could be an issue, but my mesh pants are really good at shielding heat. Great beginner bike! Light weight is also a huge bonus, not scared to drop it when walking it. Sure power is a lot as a beginner bike, but with break-in period I have to be smooth as I learn the bike.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 3 года назад

Sweet!! Thanks for the insider intel!

@billhillyer334 3 года назад

Fun rides make magic happen.. why is that, I think being free in full confidence has a lot to do with it I have a Sportster chopper that's super light an powerful it's nimbel an quick very easy to manipulate much like a sports car verses a big truck the fun is in how one wants to preform slow an easy or quick an agile.. agile is super cool ❤️ heavy an comfortable is just as nice.. time is whut makes the difference, young an agile or old an comfortable your videos are so cool Doodles 👍 thanks for making them..

@yoyo2wheels 7 лет назад

cool, would love to try one :)

@tacomamud 7 лет назад

In my opinion get a bike that makes you feel the safest and the most comfortable. That will make the ride much more enjoyable. That issue with the heat on your legs might be a bit of a concern though IMO. In any case, keep on riding and sharing videos, we love them!!

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

thanks, taco!

@dry509 6 лет назад

How was the throttle response...smooth or jumpy?

@smallam49 7 лет назад

A Bonnie is not just a motorcycle..... it will always be The motorcycle in the public view. There is an excellent vlog by a lady Bonneville rider in New York...give it a watch.

@nestorasbellas6604 6 лет назад

Seeing you all waiting for the green light behind the cars without filtering all the way to the front, makes me wonder if i would have the spirit to ride a bike in the US. I filter a lot but seeing others i would say that i am quite conservative and i would be treated like an antisocial hooligan over there lol! Doing quite entertaining videos, keep em coming!

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 6 лет назад

LOL! Some states allow filtering! Thanks so much for watching! :D

@ripmax333 7 лет назад

take into consideration the maintenance cost of the ducati, if your not going to make a valve adjustment your self than it will be a very expensive. also consider the cost of parts, I know that you should think about dropping the bike but sooner or later we all do mistakes, the parts of the ducati are really expensive. IMO I would just trade your Triumph with the Street Twin, it's lighter and has a very low seat height, partially watercooled and still with that classic look of a standard motorcycle.

@somedude1590 7 лет назад

My Fz1 is pretty hot in the summer . 1000cc super naked can really torch your leg in heavy traffic . But It's not terrible.

@chrisgraham9203 7 лет назад

Good review on the Duck. I have always thought well of them (I test rode a monster before I bought my first Triumph), but did not buy it mainly due to its maintenance requirements. Unfortunately, there are not that many classically styled motorcycles in your price, weight and displacement range to choose from. I look forward to finding out where you go from here.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

this is true! i may end up compromising on the looks, or practicing more with what I have... we'll see...

@chrisgraham9203 7 лет назад

While you are still looking, you may want to consider test riding the Suzuki SV650. It is a highly regarded do it all bike that is similar to the Duck you tested, but is water cooled (less heat from the cylinders) and is less expensive to service.

@wickedleeloopy2115 6 лет назад

You seem to like the retro bikes. Have you considered riding the Kawasaki z900rs to compare to your bike. 😕 just an idea...I would like to see your opinion.

@HARMARSCH2 6 лет назад

Nice Bike. I wonder how I could handle it at 5’5”

@MotorcyclesforTallRidersNow 7 лет назад

I still wanna see you test ride a gxr or an r6. But great review Dood. Get what you're comfortable with.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

Me too! :D

@bluemoonriderlipa6880 7 лет назад

nice bike, looks like fun.

@PhilHewkin 7 лет назад

I wonder if you have option to adjust your suspension on your bonny, I suspect it could be that bike is set up for a larger heavier rider. you might consult the manual or dealer about this, but it may be as simple as reducing tire pressure so your ride is less jarring. When I rode a s40 for he first time, I had the same reaction, I thought it felt like riding a bicycle because of the light weight and maneuverability.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

probably could!

@TealMonster 7 лет назад

Really glad that you're giving the Ducati Scrambler a shot! 😘 You can turn on the hazard for that, just gotta know how to switch it on. Whoo whee that burning leg is for real man, it sucks anytime I have to sit waiting for a traffic light. Really excited to be taking mine up the coast next week! Hopefully, you figure out what you'll do on the bikes. The Bonneville is still really cool looking too, and dealing with a new bike for me is almost like re-learning how to ride. Good luck and ride safe!

@Boysenberr 7 лет назад

Wondering: are there NO after-market exhausts for the Ducati that would route the exhaust away from one's legs?

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

I'm not sure about exhausts, but Kate did show me a forum where people suggested different options, stating that doing them solved the issue! i linked it in the description, too www.scramblerforum.com/threads/turning-down-the-heat.3164/

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

thanks, Teal Monster!!

@tomfreakingford 3 года назад

Does it show the fuel in this year ?

@aaron.hudacky 7 лет назад

The Moto Guzzi V7 III Special is another motorcycle you might want to look at, although it is somewhat heavier than your preferred weight range. It is about 420 lbs without fuel and 460 with it's 5.8 gallon tank full, has a 744cc 90 degree air cooled, 52 hp pushrod V-twin, shaft drive, easy valve adjustment that you could easily do yourself every 6,000 miles or so, and retails for about $8500 new. Moto Guzzi's strongest negative is sparse dealer network, so depending where you live, you might have to travel to see one. Used ones are pretty cheap, just stay away from the plastic tank model years (2012 and earlier I think) if you buy used. V7 weight is higher than the Scrambler, but only by about 35lbs without fuel, and the Guzzi carries 2.2 gallons more gas, so you could take less gas to keep it lighter or take the weight penalty and increase range considerably.

@salsamancer 3 года назад

I took a test drive on one, it really does feel like a bicycle with a motor. Very nimble, easy to work. But even in 10 minutes I could feel the heat, that's a deal breaker.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 3 года назад

Agreed!

@foylanier5073 7 лет назад

Do your thing. I'm sure that you will make great decision after you do some more research! Have fun and keep the shiny side up!

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

thanks, FOY :D

@kenzieberr7263 Год назад

Can you test ride a Ducati Monster plus? I'm a short girl and I'm thinking about getting that bike. Looks sick.

@lrowlands53 5 лет назад

It seems there's lots of consensus on the Ducati Scrambler = instant fun. It also has lots of people expressing boundless joy because of it. It's on my wish list for sure and I have a Ducati super sport.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 5 лет назад

It was fun!! But maaaannn that hot engine....

@electriclute 7 лет назад

Hi Doodle great channel , you inspired me to get the Suzuki S40 do you miss it and how did it compare to the Triumph and the Ducati .

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

Awesome! :D Thanks for watching. I do miss it, but wouldn't go back to less power after tasting more. Triumph and Ducati's have more sensitive throttles, ride smoother, and accelerate a little faster, which I haven't tested that (I ride slow). It's a great bike! Hope you enjoy

@electriclute 7 лет назад

It didn't take long to feel the need for power and a bigger bike . Sometime in the future I hope . Keep up with your entertaining videos . There all so enjoyable to watch :-)

@enriquezanon3346 7 лет назад

Easy and wonderful magazine

@markh6997 7 лет назад

Don't give up on the Triumph, it hasn't given up on you, you have the perfect bike already young Lady. 👍

@OntarioAndrews415 7 лет назад

It's an air cooled engine so it will burn baby burn your legs in hot weather (cold weather too if you're sitting in traffic long). It just will. If I were buying a Honda Grom or a Kawasaki Z125 (both with 125cc engines) then I would not mind it being air cooled, but a larger displacements - liquid cooled all the way. Have you tried a 2017 Triumph Street Twin?

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

i haven't! getting that suggestion a lot lately...

@OntarioAndrews415 7 лет назад

I think it would be a good choice. 2017 is liquid cooled. As for the weight; I dunno. I sat on both the 2017 Street Twin and the Street Cup and seriously considered the Street Cup, but in the end I opted not to get a motorcycle right now (I'm a beginner rider). Good luck to you!!!!!!!

@bradblane2065 7 лет назад

Awesome ! Same dealer as Chaseontwowheels

@mattlonda1199 6 лет назад

I bought a '16 Icon last year, & rode it Spring/Summer/Winter. It's a great bike, just enough power, and nimble as fu**. Love it. Only problem I have is 6'2" 230lbs. Gonna trade in for either a Monster or new 1200 Scrambler Desert Sled (For height/off-road)

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 6 лет назад

oh shooot- that'll be a better fit for you. where would you normally ride your Icon?

@mattlonda1199 6 лет назад

Usually street, but I get bored and take it on not too crazy trails in the woods. Scrambler handles them ok, but I'd lovvve to try a 1100 Sled (once they arrive in U.S.) in the woods. Icon was my first, and only Ducati I wanted to afford at the time, haha. Glad you're digging your new ride Doodle..

@Holly1960- 7 лет назад

She keeps saying it's so Little !!! But probably nimble easy handling...

@55BadbonesSV650SF 7 лет назад

Have you looked at the Suzuki SV650 ? If not, might be a look. Good luck with your search.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

considering it!

@pinoyams 2 года назад

Nice Bike ! Awesome Video! May i ask what your height is if you dont mind?

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 2 года назад

5’3.75” 😃

@ThatsSooAnimated 7 лет назад

I think the Ducati looks awesome, especially the Full Throttle version. That being said i think the Bonneville looks wayy better when you go matte black with it. But I think the answer is obvious.....Grom!

@p016264 3 года назад

I just bought a 2019 full throttle as my first bike. I LOVE it! :)

@louly3212 7 лет назад

better to ride farther from the centre of the line to avoid the oils i think, gd habit. i suggested in ur bonnie vid to try the kawasaki z650 for reasons (to mitigate ur problem with the bonnie) , would u do that or are you still set on those two?

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

i think i'm considereing 600-700cc range sport bikes too now...

@louly3212 7 лет назад

Doodle On A Motorcycle yea well it's less a question of the sport aspect but more of kinda the best option for something that would suit me if i was looking for a modern powerful light bike in the 600cc range but see what you get out of it on your test ride!

@louly3212 7 лет назад

Doodle On A Motorcycle any progress? Just want to say that maybe you should have test rode the sixty2 might be impressed, personally I do consider that bike for myself when I can afford it.. For power I somehow don't imagine you goin fast.. Can I ask did u go often wot on s40? Like .. Everyday or? Genuinely curious..

@916mikecamikesmith2 7 лет назад

One of my wife's bikes is a 620 Multistrada. Also air cooled like the Scrambler. We put an oil cooler on the bike and that has helped to cool the bike down BUT you still have to be moving for the bike to cool. Not sure if that's an option for the Scrambler. One other thing to note is that this bike has timing belts. Ducati recommends changing them every 2 years EVEN is you don't ride a lot. If you do this at a dealership its will be big $$$. My wife has two BMWs and they are cheaper to maintain than the Duc. IF I were you ID consider getting a liquid cooled bike. From what I can gather about you, you might like a Honda Hornet (CB600F). Upright position, light, air cooled, around 100 HP, easy to ride and Honda reliability. I have one and it is a fun bike an my wife likes it too. Good luck.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

@billrothwell8364 7 лет назад

I was the same got my bonneville scrambler, and thought I made a mistake .then I got some tecbike shocks and lowered the front end about 1/2 inch, bike is a lot better for me to handle now. Checkout Delboy's garage on you tube it should only cost £150 quid to sort out a better ride for you on the bonnie .

@michaeldoidge3537 7 лет назад

Bill rothwell, Good idea, lower stance with feet flat during slow speed manuvers/stops is a major safety/confidence boost...

@Rheahearts 7 лет назад

I tested out the iron 883 it was perfect but the gas taken was so small wouldn't be able to travel for long and i did a test ride on the street twin it was too sensitive for me and i tested the t100 i loved it but i wasn't comfortable with the weight it was too heavy for me so i'm still looking V_V maybe i'll try ducati next.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

we're stuck in the goldilocks feeling!

@Rheahearts 7 лет назад

I know T_T lol going test ride the ducati cafe scrambler next .

@tijuanero4154 6 лет назад

I got the classic first bike learning time

@michaeldoidge3537 7 лет назад

Ducati rides similar to T100, weighs 95lbs lighter but constantly buzzes at speed, and consistently fries your inner legs...comfort first, style second. You can overcome the weight diff with experience, but the ducati will ALWAYS; 1.making you legs painful(BURNING you) 2. Buzz at cruising speed which equals numbs hands, slower reaction times, and increased rider fatigue.

@weetidos4514 7 лет назад

Can we name the Bonneville "maybe machine" since its not a 100% welcomed to the family? I know you have your doubts but naming it might help! Also I'm going to be in my first livestream soon so I want to say thanks for being a lady inspiration for riding!

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

LOL not a bad unofficial name... thank you and hope to catch you in that livestream! let me know the deets...

@gordonbrown8417 7 лет назад

Give a Moto Guzzi 750 III or V9Roamer a try, you'll love them.

@kristyncooper3619 7 лет назад

"Perverts.....don't say anything"! Haha....my thoughts exactly.

@MrMuggs 4 года назад

The comment to the perverts was classic. LOL. You know they would have piled on the heat on thighs remark.....My neighbor has that same Ducati, 2018 model. Feels really nice but I went with the ‘19 Yamaha MT07, especially being liquid cooled, making for less cooking in Orlando summers. I wonder if you ever rode that bike by now. I think you would love the feel at the same 400 lbs and low seat height.

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 4 года назад

I haven’t!! You’re selling me on trying one though 😀

@cherrieblossoms 7 лет назад

It's meant to attract the more beginner crowd, lower price point, lower weight, easy to ride! nice to hear your review and thoughts on it. The weight of the T100 would help on the highway (don't get as blown around), how did you find the vibration of the engine of the T100 vs the Scrambler?

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 7 лет назад

i think they felt pretty similar in smoothness!

@attachaichansena4635 6 лет назад

At 1:18 when you said "Feel soooo little" it would hurt a lot if you refer to someone. Just kidding nice&relax video thank

@rayb7414 7 лет назад

Look at the maintenance schedule and the price, that should scare you away from the Ducati. BTW I just checked my FZ 07-40mph in first not 15.

@prestonfilozof3089 6 лет назад

ok so my bro has one of these and all the vibrations are from emitions controle stuff. for free by deleting the charcoal canister the bike is a million times smoother. then an exhaust and a rexxer tune change the game!

Using a Scrambler Urban Enduro, took a 90 mile ride from Chicago to Milwaukee, it gets uncomfortable due to the amount of wind you catch

@DoodleOnAMotorcycle 6 лет назад

The Scrambler obviously needs a thigh temperature gauge... The markings should reflect lukewarm ... toasty...sauteed ... baked ...broiled... and... fall off the bone well done. :^)

@denisrousseau9071 7 лет назад

Denis Rousseau , definitely a low seat-height stable platform, significantly less expensive than T100 (especially used), and still smooth with plenty of power.

the Kawasaki 650 Vulcan S is worthy of a test ride doodle. the new Honda rebel 500 might be good, Yamaha has a 650 star that is a cruiser, long and low. too much power/weight with most of the bigger bikes.

If on a test ride you see issues then I think I'd pass on the bike. You shouldn't have to redesign the poor design that Ducati did. Does it vibrate more than your t100? Weight is concern but I suspect seat height is also a player. Test drive a Yamaha fz07 and see if the seat height works for you. Under 400 lbs wet. Another bike you should try out is a Suzuki sv650. About 434 wet and under 31 seat height. Plenty of power and fun to ride. Remember that RIDING the bike is just as important as how it looks. For me it's more important. If I'm not enjoying the bike but it looks good then I'm not owning it. I'd rather have a type of bike that I RIDE over just looking at it. Also 33 repair in 4 years vs 11-14 is a major difference. Take your time. I can tell you that I've never owned a bike that cooked my legs while stopped. My Vstrom is cool either while sitting or riding. Be safe! Bill

There are pluses and minuses to light bikes as well, especially on the highway. Your Bonnie is about what... 150 lbs heavier than your S40? Can you not feel a difference in stability at highway speeds? That the Bonnie feels more planted and less affected by wind and turbulence? Since you will always have to travel to those mountains on the highway, I think you may regret loosing your Bonnie. But that's just my 2 cents.

Some cogent thoughts! There are always trade-offs in motorcycle choice, as no bike is perfect for every situation.

B.S. You should keep the Bonnie and save your money and upgrade the exhaust, air box, wheels on it and you'll loose 50-100 lbs and you'll have the Iconic bike that will be timeless, the Ducati Scrambler will be discontinued in a few years.... just saying.

false.

@cjdavid411 6 лет назад

The Scrambler is currently Ducati's number one selling model world wide. Don't think they'll be discontinuing it any time soon.

You should get an MT 03 and if you're really that short... You can always lower it.

@kingcole219 7 лет назад

Sorry I forgot to mention it's the 660cc version not the 300c... for whatever reason they've named them the same

@jboy2621 7 лет назад

The Scrambler is Ducati's only profitable bike. It's kept them in business over the decade! Did you know another RU-vidr, Jay Leno did a video on the same bike?! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pzImL9zR14A.html

Sorry but the Triumph is a much better bike! I've had many bikes and there are a lot of reasons to change bikes but I think you should give it more time! Don't overthink this ! Just ride and enjoy!
