After waiting a couple of years and looking for something that really fitted me as a person I think I found a great platform. I grew up riding KTM dirt bikes since I was three and my father has a Ducati ST3 that I also got to ride (spoiled..I know) but after hearing about the full throttle and watching it get uncrated from Italy I had get it! I can now officially say I am a proud owner of a Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle!

Congratulations. Post up some pictures of your bike when you get the chance.

Did you look into any KTM bikes since that's what you grew up with?

Welcome to the forum!

Congrats!

I'm in the same boat. Just got an Urban Enduro as my first.
Hope you get as much joy out of it as I am.

Ride safe!

haha like I said I've grown up around bikes, I've done a couple enduro races/hairscrambles when I was younger....talk about intimidating when your getting bombarded by 450s. but I will be!

zues, I did look into the 690 duke to be honest, which I thought would have been another great platform. It had that same multi terrain feel that the scrambler had which I enjoyed. I also looked into KTM's street bikes but was kinda sad when they only had 1190 super sport, and a 390 super sport.

As a college guy insuring a bike is kinda painful on the wallet especially with tuition to pay for as well so the 1190 was out of the picture, and the 390 was a bit small for me.

I've already put 100+ miles on the bike and love it, I might change up the bars to a lower position but other than that I cannot complain!

Having had many bikes over the years, the Scrambler is likely to be my last. I'm past the age where I need a bike to say who I am. I don't care anymore. I just want to enjoy the ride.

Thanks!I went and got my permit when I turned 16 for motorcycle (yay Iowa) and have been riding my fathers Ducati ST3 ever since when ever I wanted to. It was a pretty large bike for thinking back but it didn't really bother me to much.
Ill try to take some when I get some time!
