Perhaps to keep costs low Ducati could explore the possibility of simply selling the scrambler as a striped down multistrada...

That wouldn't be a bad idea, plus it does look awesome, it just has a look people who want a scramble will want.

I know its pretty eh. Reminds me of the JvB scrambler.... actually it is a JvB scrambler, the original prototype... which was built from a MultiStrada...

 

[ducat1ryder]

I know right.

They need to hurry up, or at least keep us posted with better updates.

I would take that with some modern modern styling and performance in a heart beat

This looks like a great bike/option. I wonder if taking this route would keep the price more in check? I guess a large part of the price just depends on the motor, but wouldn't they save a whole bunch in development costs by doing this?

a stripped down multi could very well sell as a scrambler

It would and should but I think that should be a very small focus of theirs, if they build an amazing product thats a bit higher in price im sure people would be willing to spend the extra

I think that Ducati is missing out on some people who would love to buy their bikes in the lower end of the market. I'm sure that they could raise profits by playing to a larger crowd. SO many other companies are doing this and it just seems like Ducati is missing the boat, or more so Ducati is refusing to get on board the boat.

well what about BMW, they don't play with anything piddley either, even their scooters are powerhouses lol...

Im not sure what BMW has when it comes to scooters but I seen their new R Nine T and i have to say it looks epic. If they can make a retro styled scooter it should be a hit.

i guess bmw sells scooters!

That BMW scooter looks epic. Best way to roll around with style and performance on a scooter.

I think Ducati would have a huge market if they created a Ducati Monster with a 250-400cc engine for cheaper

Something like the Honda VTR 250

It would be a huge hit in Asia.

 

[dukes]

If they do that how much do you think it might be priced around in U.S. dollars?

 

[exhaustleak]

say 4k? USD

it would sell like hotcakes

as long as it looks good. like all ducatis

 

[dukes]

hmm, not sure thats what it go for and not sure if thats what Ducati wants, it might be too cheap
