"Going to put the word FUN back into the motorcycle industry."

Where had the word FUN gone? Funny statement. I didn't realise I wasn't having fun already.

Cool. Last year or was it 2013 Yamaha put fun back into the motorcycle industry with the triple ...... next year it will be?


Anyways - I like - one thing bugs me and it is soooooo ironic. Ducati stuck with under seat pipes for years on their sports bikes - now they make a scramble and sling a faff looking low pipe on it? - I predict the aftermarket will produce a set of high pipes for this model and it's cool factor will go up a notch. Scrambler = high pipe - Triumph got that right.

$8,500 US - double it in NZ????????

$8,500 US - double it in NZ????????Pfft, be $19k here.

Looks shit. There's already shelves of shit to make Ducati wankers look more wankerish, I can't help but think the company are taking the piss.

[DMNTD]

Hmmm converts to NZ$11k with enough change to fill ya tank. What's it cost to post a new motorcycle to NZ?

I briefly considered that a couple years back when US dealers were running out KTM990 Super Dukes for $8k US. Alas my dream was shattered with some family expense. Suck is life.


Imagine if Ducati NZ had the foresight to market them say $500 under the price of one of those Yammy 800 triples

I like it. Haters gonna hate.

[DamianW]

Great to see so many new bikes and so many becoming available over here. Can only be good for punters.

Yeah takes me back to the days of the L twin scrambler of the 70's :facepalm:

they could have lobbed of the front pot and made a nice single.

Wankerish shit?...... I've got a jacket and a bag is there more? :drool:

[Ender EnZed]

I like the bike but, (minus the marketing spiel) I suspect the reviewer would be wetting himself much the same on a 15 year old Monster with high bars and narrow tyres.

Buy yourself a TT500 or a XR500 if you are really into having fun !

[AllanB]

Ha - never looked!

On par with the $15,490 Bonnie scrambler then.

Sporsters start at $15k (883) But $19-20 for the 1200 now - could convert one to a nice scrambler!

[Mike.Gayner]

Anyone seen one of these in the wild yet? I was interested when this bike was first announced, but at that price point there are just too many better options.

[Paulo]

Good video here, even takes the piss out of Beardo's, has subtitles but shows that it's quite capable (despite oil filter placement and not great clearance)
