Seeing as how the Ducati Scrambler isn't due to be released for quite some time still, I was wondering what bikes it will compete with once it finally does hit the market.

What other brands are making Scrambler style bikes right now, and will those bikes be able to match the Ducati Scrambler's almost 800cc displacement?

A google search gave too much info, I thought it might be easier to get info from someone who just knows instead.

I think pretty much any naked motorcycle in the similar CC category would compete.

People might even try to compare bikes out of it's segment and style just for a price and value comparison.

How about something like the KTM DUke 690?

I just don't know about a competitor that has both the power and styling to be a direct comparison.

Yamaha FZ-09, Kawasaki Z1000, KTM SD 990...

Its not going to be a straight up displacement war, more a price match thing.

The price is expected to be a bit under $10,000 right? Like $8,999 or something?

I mean Triumph actually makes a Scrambler that cost $10,000. I think that will be the closest competitor.

 

[dukes]

At least if they price it around $10k, it could be set up as a direct competitor to the Triumph

I'm also a big fan of the Honda CB1100 ($10,399) and the CB1000R (not out yet)

CB1100

CB1000R

Love the stand on the 1100, better than having a traditional stand.

They won't be able to ask more than 10k for this. Keep in mind the 696 Monster goes for less than 10k

I agree. Not more than 10k, or not anywhere too far off from it.

unless they go the NineT route and charge a premium for retro styling...

 

[exhaustleak]

I don't think that will work too well for them

Like I said
the Scrambler is lusted enough to demand that kind of pricing

I would just get a monster if the scrambler is too expensive.

What if Ducati does in fact go the BMW route and instead of building us a new Scrambler its a Monster with retro styling, kind of how the NineT is a retro styled R1220R...

I dont think i could say id be disappointed...

 

[exhaustleak]

sure

696 motor and price

with scrambler styling

might as well call it the monster scrambler lol

 

[project]

where did you get this 696 engine info?

 

[exhaustleak]

i made it up.

lol.

 

[dukes]

i made it up.

lol.

nothing better than making up your own info!

Do you think that the BMW RNineT is something that would compete with the Scrambler. They both will be a new-retro kind of style, and both are on the pricier side.

 

[exhaustleak]

i think the NineT might be more expensive than a Scrambler

actually it probably is
