What do you guys think about a lower cc Scrambler? Maybe a 400-500cc model? Keep the 800cc too

There were rumours around that there will be a smaller one, and a larger one, before too long. Not sure how much smaller, nor how much bigger.

Cheers,

FatRob.

Hmm wonder if it's true, think it would be a good idea?

It could be good.

There could be a larger one to compete with the big BMW, for example, and aimed at the long distance, luggage loaded market.
There could also be a smaller, single cylinder one which could (in some markets) be learner legal - and also closer to the original Scrambler of the 60s.

Who knows what, if anything, will be offered.

At first I thought 800cc is too much and wished there were a 400cc version. However, now I don't think I can live with a smaller one

 

[Nimrandir]

Later this year they will present a 400cc version of the scrambler

The USA doesn't really need a smaller bike, so I doubt it'll end up here. Our laws aren't set up around the 400cc and smaller stuff like they are in other markets.

800cc is already small in my opinion, but you're always looking for that trade off of weight and horsepower. Riding a 300cc Beta RR on the street is a lot more thrilling than an 800cc Scrambler So maybe if the 400cc version is built focusing on weight saving more than it is created simply as a de-tuned 800cc bike. (in my mind I'm thinking about the Kawasaki W650 vs the W400 which was the SAME bike with smaller cylinder bores and pistons)

What about the insurance? I know here having a smaller cc lowers the insurance by a lot. Here the insurance is half the price with a 400cc than a 800cc

Here is the rumour you were referring to. It talks about a single cylinder 500cc and a larger 1200cc twin version. Haven't heard anything more about it since then.

 

[silverluxe]

It doesn't really matter in the USA. My insurance is mostly affected by the age of the vehicle (older are cheaper.)

I pay $8.64/year (liability only with a signed medical rejection wavier, ha!) for each of my Vespa scooters from the 70s. But full coverage on my 1974 BMW R90/6 is about 110/year. Full coverage on my W650 is 150/year. Full coverage insurance on the new Scrambler is 200/year.

My 1150cc Speed Triple was 150/year as well.

 

[MotoChief]

I do not think they need to build a lower CC Scrambler, but I think it would sell if they built it.

 

[silverluxe]

A single cylinder option COULD be interesting. Especially if Ducati decided to throw out their accountants and create a bevel drive engine from the ground up like Kawasaki did with the W650.

This made to modern specs in a reliable setup would be a work of art.

Do you mind me asking your age? I'm a younger male and I know for a fact that the CC plays a large role in the insurance, but for my father its a completely different story. Similar to your coverage.

I'm 37 and have a bunch of other stuff insured with the same company (other vehicles, my house, umbrella policy.)

 

[Zeus]

I knew that they were planing on making a larger one, but I hadn't heard as much about a lower one. I thought that maybe Ducati thought it was too premium to put out a bike that was less powerful and expensive than the current Scrambler. It would definitely sell. I think its just a matter of if Ducati sees that as fitting with the brand they are building.

ahh okay, maybe that's the difference

It's already pretty neutered. Scrambler 821 or 1100 evo is what we need.

 

[P-Happy]

Like that?

 

[PeteI]

Like that?

wow, look at that. even has the teeny-tiny little flyscreen. nice

 

[Doc59]

I reckon there will be a Scrambler 659 coming up, at least for our LAMs market here. They already have the engine ready to bolt in.
