I want to purchase an adventure touring bike....I love the Ducati Srambler , is there any pics of a Scrambler with panniers installed ?

 

[JustKip]

I can't imagine a Scrambler as an "adventure touring" bike! I owned an R1200GS for the last 7 years, and this Scrambler will be a great play bike, but luggage will be pretty limited. The OEM drybags are less than 30 liters combined, and I haven't seen any other options at all, yet.


But the tank range will only be around 150 miles without luggage, and the added wind resistance of bags will reduce that. And big bags, or a strong subframe to support them just don't exist.

I'm expecting a lot of aftermarket accessories from main brands as Givi or Touratech, hoping to see some alloy cases and its frame soon....

Apparently there's already semi-rigid panniers, I've seen them in a french website review of the event in palm springs.

Here's a screen capture:

Curious though, why Scrambler and not say a Multi? If its a cost consideration, you're giving up a ton of capability to cut a few K.

I'm sure you can buy some saddlebags or something like that to have more cargo space, but I don't see the Scrambler as a great adventure bike. If that is the main thing you want to do with your bike, I think that there might be better options out there for you.

I have to agree with Zeus and Justkip, for me the Scrambler is way too limited to be a good adventure bike. I'm lucky enough to also own a new GS but I really don't see my Scrambler as being capable of some of the stuff I do on the GS.


You don't have to go GS of course, the market is overloaded with good adventure bikes, The Triumphs are good, (my missus rides an 800 Tiger), there's the 800 GS, the Suzuki V-Stroms, (650 and 1000), The Kawasaki Versys, (650 and 1000), the Multistrada, any number of KTM's.

just what ever you do, if you can, avoid getting a top box, I hate how they look! but if you need it you need it, no way around that.

Those are the Full Throttle Side Bags Set, and MSRP on those is £639.50. ($966 US at current conversion rate). OUCH!!

I will need something for mine as I intend to commute to work on it a bunch, and I take a laptop and a few things with every day. The ones above would probably work well if my laptop would fit in one of them. I'd guess they are somewhat waterproof too, although it don't say that. I would prefer the Urban Enduro Waterproof Side Bags Set since they are also waterproof, but much cheaper. However, I don't dig the green for use on the yellow Icon. They are a more reasonable £255.16 ($385 US at current conversion rate) compared to the FT ones above.

The Classic Side Bags Set would look best on the yellow Icon, but they aren't water proof, so if I was expecting rain, I'd need to use dry bags inside.

I think I might just have to wait and see what aftermarket options come out.

As much as i like the following, i'll have to wait and weight out my options:

I hope anyone make a hardbags kit for this bike. I need a solution like this Valigie laterali E22 - GIVI
or
Valigie laterali TRK33B TREKKER -Black Line - GIVI

 

[Hedonism]

I got in touch with Touratech and they have planned accessories production for Scrambler running from 2016.

therefore, I really think I'll wait to buy any panniers, I will use a rollbag, waiting for Givi, Trax or (better) Touratech, will release their lines

News? :/

Touratech stuff is great but by heck it's pricey! Their shop is about 5 minutes from our place in Wales

Go sittin there

I'm riding from UK to Sweden at end of April, so need some options too. However looking at what's out there and the fact that I will seldom do longer runs. I think a lomo bag and backpack will be enough for the time being.

 

[Timmy]

What about getting custom fitted panniers for the Scrambler? Is there no companies that will custom make panniers to fit the Scrambler at different sizes and shapes?

With a Lomo bag on the seat the back pack may not work as there is not much space for the rider

There are many ways to pack gear...these giant loop bags would be an option.
