Are theses high mounted exhaust pipes going to burn me?

I've never ridden a bike with high mounted exhaust pipes but I imagine they get pretty hot. I am a little nervous of touching them while riding and getting a nice burn. Won't the high mounted pipes also make carrying a passenger far less comfortable?

What design are you basing it off of?

Are you riding with no pants?

I don't think I've ever ridden a Ducati didn't wasn't hot but it's not burn your skin hot. Just uncomfortable hot. As long as you are moving its not a problem.
If it's really that bad for you or your passenger then getting a head shield might be the best thing to do.
i'll probably ride in jeans mostly.

Wouldn't the high exhaust pipe be right in the way of the passengers legs though?
I don't know what design you are basing your judgement off of



This is a real scrambler.. The exhaust pipes aren't even that high. I also don't think its built for passengers because I don't see any pegs.

Same deal with the jvb concept

I think he was looking at the Triumph Scrambler



high pipes are actually a very big look with classic scramblers and classic bikes in general





But yea like you said exhaustleak the orginal Ducati scramblers didnt come with high pipes



I dont know if a modern Ducati Scrambler would even have high pipes, its never really been in their repertoire..

even a lower mounted exhaust with a clean design would be great and suit the whole scrambler theme like the last bike.
Pretty much every Ducati I've ridden tried to cook my legs but I've never burnt my legs before.

after how many minutes of riding did it start to really bother you?
the high mounted exhaust I feel is what gives the scramblers the unique look.

It's not how many minutes. Its when you aren't moving

The heat will come up and you will FEEL it.
Ducati does the best undertail exhausts... ;)



I would be disappointed though if the scrambler showed up with an undertail

That tail is alright but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it ;)

it won't be that much of a disappointment but if they can do it in a way that still has a classic flow to it, it won't be that bad, it might even be a hit.

I think that might be an aftermarket exhaust but it is a nice one. It would be nice on the scrambler.

Stop staring at the tail. :D
sillyness aside you can barely see the muffler on that bike.

The muffler goes to a point lol.
