Conclusion - forever young

It is, of course, a toy, one for older children who want to (and can) spend at least 17,290 euros on their gift. Hear my words: Every penny of it is well invested!

Before I forget it: I have now studied the data sheet. The Duc is not only up to date in terms of engine and chassis, but also in terms of assistance systems: series are Wheelie Control, Curve ABS from Bosch, Traction Control, Ride By Wire and three driving modes ...

... not even this prejudice lasts more.

Conclusion

The Ducati Scrambler has a special position in the Italian model range: it reassures the driver. At the same time, it delivers a very different kind of pleasure tours, which is more aimed at cruising. For this, it dispenses with high utility value (and, by the way, also a higher off-road suitability). Intermediate sprints on country roads and in the city are their precincts, with bollerning sound it goes ahead. Those who have fun, who finally want to recognize the meaning of V2 engines and those with the sense of emotion can rejoice over the Scrambler. A Ducati? Yes, but for some it is the black sheep in the family, for others the only Ducati they want to buy. Feat: It does not have much competition, there are mainly the BMW R nineT Scrambler and various Triumph models on the market.
Last note: The 1100 is on the price list with 12,990 euros, while the little sister with 75 hp is available from just under 8,000. A hefty extra charge for 11 more-hp - but if you can, you should treat yourself to it.
