Im emailing the dealership as we speak haha, the 883 was going to be my Christmas present. The ducati looks way more flexible especially considering my street style vs outdoor hobbies. Im so excited! this thing looks fun as hell! Read more

Wes, would this be in the Ninja 650, SFV 650, CBR650, FZ-07 category? Read more

My thoughts: Read more

I know the Supercompressor guys and those numbers seem right to me. Read more

so uh, yeah i want one. its perfect for me! looks good on the street but can still handle a little trail action. good for commuting, saving some gas. and my lady will love it too! i had no idea about this bike and ive been looking to go get an 883. i think this will be a better option! Read more

Nailed it. I used to be obsessed with bike stats. Which bikes had the most of this or the least of that. In the end, you've got a machine that shreds your license and doesn't commute well, or really anything else for that matter except put down lap times on a track. I've had/have the fast bikes. They're fun until… Read more

I've ridden or owned a 250 thumper, a 600 cc crotch rocket, a xs650 bobbed out, a sportster 1200, a sweet triumph tbird 1600 (current bike), a couple of friends crappy Harley's , a children's dirt bike, and even a 50cc Chinese 2 stroke scooter... And I so very much want to wrap my legs around a scrambler and ride it… Read more

Brilliant stuff Wes. So many wins, but especially the part about the US mainstream motorcycling press. Read more

Sorry I just meant it is retro stylish and fun but not actually fast Read more

Agree with everything in this article 100%. Read more

I'm awfully skeptical a funky website I've never heard of has 50 times the audience of any major mainstream magazine. Also I read hardly any negative things comments about this bike so far. Read more

I like the Scrambler, and I hope Ducati sells a bunch of 'em. I, however, am saving my money for a much more expensive, and less versatile bike. Read more

Damn't Wes. I told myself no more bikes for a while and now you're convincing me to buy this badass new Ducati Read more

Wow. If I had known hipsters were spending all their money (funny, we used to call them yuppies - but I understand them to be the same thing) on retro street-styled bikes, I would have kept my old late 80's Nighthawk or KZ. Any decent hipster/yuppie isn't going to want to leave the pavement on purpose anyway. Read more

It does, and it's a pretty good bike. But, it weighs 507lbs (wet) to the Ducati's 410lbs (wet). Read more

As a car guy who's never seriously looked at a bike before, this thing keeps grabbing my attention. I think it's working. Read more

I think I'm going to buy one of these, and I am far from a hipster. In fact, I'm a total bro. Read more

Well the noise out of any Ducati (at least with Termi pipes) will be infinitely better than the SV. I had a Honda NT650 for a few years and it's still my favorite bike of all time. Shame it decided to consume 3/4 of its oil on a single 90 mile trip once and never got rid of the wrist pin noise after that. I still kept… Read more

That's a pretty solid insight. Read more
