I'm looking forward to the release of the Scrambler Desert Sled, be interesting to read the specs and do a test ride when it's out, from posts here it has 19 inch front wheel so hopefully the suspension will be changed to more off road friendly. I haven't taken my Icon on the dirt yet but I reckon it would be pretty rough, for a "scrambler" the suspension is more solid sports bike orientated and nowhere near as comfortable and compliant as my dual sport bikes (I have a 98 BMW F650 and a 2007 Vstrom 650). I really like my Icon, love the low seat and the bike feels like it was built just for me but in reality, on the average bumpy Queensland road, I'm quicker on one of my dual sports.
Love the Icons looks so hopefully they don't change that but the perfect Scrambler for me would be more compliant suspension, a few litres more fuel, and don't make the seat height much more (I'm a short arse)
