There were a lot of motorcycles introduced at this year's EICMA show. Everything from a new Vespa, a slew of electric motorcycles (even one from Harley Davidson of all producers), the Yamaha FJ-09 an ADV bike, to the crazy-fast super-charged Ninja H2. Men's Journal took it upon themselves to put a Top of the Show list together. Click through and sitting at Number 2 is the Ducati Scrambler.

If you’re nostalgic for Steve McQueen-era dirtbikes, Ducati has your number. The brand’s new Scrambler lineup following the Ducati’s half-century of absence from the offroad bike market, and offers four takes on the genre: the entry level Icon ($8,495), the more dirt friendly Urban Enduro ($9,995), the retro style Classic ($9,995), and the flat track racer-style Full Throttle ($9,995). Though touches like LED lights and an underseat USB storage compartment put the Scrambler firmly in the 21st century, its styling cues and go-anywhere spirit keep it rooted in motorcycling’s Golden Age.

I think this could mean that the new Scrambler will be a good seller. What say you?

I know it sold me. I was looking at the Fz-07 or Fz-09 by yamaha. Less money for the 07 i can buy them both now. I chose to wait for this sexy beast.

I have an FZ09 and you cannot beat the bike for the price and it is really nice but I too cannot wait for the Scrambler, I hope that I Iove it like I do the FZ09 and my GROM !

When you get your scrambler let me know how it compares to the fz. I hope i am making the right choice. My wife says 1 bike is all i am allowed.

My wife says 2. So can I count my KTM 250 XC and my KTM 500 EXC as one (dirty) bike?

Yes. I think if they are the same style and brand it counts as 1

 

[Stu]

Great! I wouldn't want to use a Scrambler as a backup dirt bike!

I have a feeling once this bike is actually released it's going to win all kinds of awards.

Ditto

The awards and accolades don't matter to me. What does matter is the total experience: handling, power, ease of maintenance, adaptability to different riding surfaces, light weight, aesthetics and last, fun, fun, fun!
