rode it for two days, two weeks ago.

first day was full of excitement, the engine is great, my type of seating position with wide bars.

but after overnight the whole excitement wore off and next day was a bit of awakenning.

The suspension is really undeveloped and front is very harsh, fuelling is very jerky, you can not move around on the seat, it just sticks you to one place, there are vibey vibrations at footpegs from chain, mudguard is non existant - first day was rainning and my whole back was covered in shit.

I can see this bike perfectly in Rome in rush hour for a quick commute. No more, nowhere else :unsure:

Ouch V_King

In a parallel dimension where I'm cash rich I'm really tempted by this, the only one of my bikes Mrs Paulie ever pillioned was the VanVan which this looks very similar to. Being small she doesn't like clambering aboard, so the current Beemer & CRF are both out (I'm not sure theres room on the crf anyway)

I shall save my monopoly money a while longer (thumbs)

Interesting comment about the numberplate on a stick style of mudguard...lots of modern bikes have them which precludes me from buying them.

If you pay about £1000 more you can get a Scrambler with faux retro ally guards that give more coverage.

But, yes, an urban pose machine to impress people who don't know about motorbikes.

I love Ducatis, but the current range consists of loads of version on a theme, and I couldn't see room for any of them in my garage.

I don't know if this helps, but the Ducati Scrambler has got a built-in USB charger!
