International Motorcycle Shows -- west coasters going?
Hey guys, any of you going to San Mateo, Phoenix, Long Beach or Seattle shows? If so, can you please post up what versions of the Ducati scramblers are there? Pretty please? Pictures would be even better
I've actually taken the plunge and put a deposit in on the Enduro version, and I really want one to be at the NYC show. I've never bought a new moto. I think I'll cry first time I drop it. KTM took too long to release the baby Duke, and my eyes have wandered...and yes, a 390 thumper or a 800 twin is an odd choice.

Thanks JHScoot!
I'm just being antsy as the NYC show isn't until mid-December. But if Ducati has all four models of the Scrambler at San Mateo, they will most likely have them in New York. And they're releasing a high pipe. Gaaaah. How much is this thing going to cost me

I went today, and to be honest, I was disappointed. Suzuki showed the Burgman 650 and 200 and the Vino Classic and Honda brought a Ruckus and a PCX (PCH?). That's it. No Vespa, no Piaggio, no Genuine.
Here are some pics:

Syd, thanks dude!
The Ducati Scramblers are all the same platform (803cc air-cooled Monster engine). There are four versions with tweaks (different seats, different pipes like the Termignoni on the Full Throttle version...sigh, different fenders, blah blah). The Icon was out front & center because it's a throwback to the 1962 Scrambler.
I took out a friend's ST3 this weekend. Man, are those Ducati twins just a beautiful engine. I never got out of 4th gear, even though I got up to 65mph on the back roads. I canNOT wait!

Wow did this pic make all my little motorcycle neurons snap! I'm like one of those cartoon characters whose hat flies up in the air and eyes pop a foot out of their heads. Holy cow, it's a stupidly good thing that there is no Ducati dealer anywhere near me.Syd wrote:I went today, and to be honest, I was disappointed.

Click on the orange box with three lines in the upper left corner to see each model in detail. That's the Full Throttle you posted. LOOK at that exhaust. Swoon. Accessories will show you the high exhaust available.
I think Ducati have hit it out of the park with this design. 2015 was supposed to be the year I went orange. But not after seeing the genius of Ducati.

"Swoon," is right. That Termignoni Exhaust is the hottest thing I've ever seen.siobhan wrote:http://scramblerducati.com/en

From looking at the pictures again, I would say that the Scramblers are just a little larger than the TU250 pictured (with the same camera). That doesn't matter to many, but I couldn't ride the Suzuki for very long because of it's size. The S40 showed is even smaller. I felt like I was sitting on the floor!

Will do Charlie! I'm pretty easy to spot, too, as I'm usually wearing pink and am almost 6 feet tall. Can't wait to see the new KTMs and Ducatis!charlie55 wrote:Hey Siobhan, if you're going to the Saturday show in NY, pass by the Yammy exhibit and keep an eye out for a 6-foot nun with a mustache and size 11 engineer boots. I'm working the guilt-trip angle to get them to donate an SR400 to the Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Penury.

JHScoot, THANK YOU The finish looks really nice. I hope I don't fall in love with the baby Duke.
