Maybe the Scrambler will actually be an ADV type bike? ADV riding seems to be the next big trend as retro/cafe is begging to taper off. KTM just announced they will be doing an ADV bike based off the Duke and it got me thinking that perhaps this is just the type of bike Ducati needs in its lineup. It would certainly attract a new type of clientele...

Good thread, I'd like to see a bike like this from Ducati, the Scrambler seems like it could be along the lines of it.

I think it would be cool if Ducati came out with a bike like this, but I don't think that this is what the Scrambler will turn into. I'm sure people would be excited about it if Ducati announced something like this.

or maybe the scrambler doesnt exist at all

then all my time here would have been wasted!
hopefully it's still happening

I don't think that the Scrambler is going to be an adventure bike. I don't think that is what anyone is expecting anyway.

I don't think of a Scrambler as a bike with a fascia or windscreen. Ducati should make the Scrambler as basic as possible so that people can customize (and that would be great for Ducati profits too).

Customization is a big thing, if they can set it up for that, it would do a lot for them and for us.

well scramblers kinda were the first ADV's.... in essence...

I honestly think the Scrambler is going to be based off either the multistrada or the hyper motard, just toned down obviously... probably abit more retro. Look at the NineT to the R1200R and you'll see what I mean...

Looking at the NineT to the R1200R , i see what you mean.

the r1200r is already their adv bike

the scrambler is sort of an adventure bike like the 1200

just smaller, lighter, cheaper, less power.

you're thinking of the R1200GS which is the ADV, the R1200R is a sporty naked

I got the Hyperstrada/Motard idea from JVB who used the Strada as the basis for their JVB scramblers...

 

[dukes]

Got to love the naked look especially when its done as clean as this.

 

[exhaustleak]

both beatiful bikes. they both seem to be adventure capable to me

but yes you are right the GS is technically the adv version.

so now imagine how BMW went from this:

to this:

If for the scrambler Ducati were to go from this:

to this:

awwwww yeaahhhh

where did you find that last photo? awesome

it was on the cover of MCN a while back when the scrambler was first introduced. I'm not sure if its just a render or someones custom...

Ducati Scrambler well underway - | Motorcycle News | New Motorbikes | Buyers Guides | MCN

 

[dukes]

No wonder, always thought it was from some publication

 

[project]

yea, I'm not sure. kinda leaning towards fancy photochop anyways...

 

[exhaustleak]

probably a custom bike

because that isn't the actual scrambler that is up and coming..

 

[dukes]

yea, I'm not sure. kinda leaning towards fancy photochop anyways...

that too.
keep telling myself i have to wait but i've been waiting for so long already, running out of patience here.
