Triumph also has a bike called a scrambler, Motorcycle.com did a youtube video comparing the two.

I really like the look of the ducati scramblers, besides the color scheme in that picture. But they seem like a blast to ride. Looks like a dirt bike for the road.

I really am starting to like that bike.

How is the power on it? Can one do wheelies with ease or will it be a struggle?

I had a friend bring up a ninja 500, but he had to clutch it and rev a bunch to get it to come up. So anything can be wheelied, just wondering the torque on this one.

i wonder if adding an aftermarket exhaust would rectify the quietness issue.

This one even had the exhaust that was supposed to be quiet, however this bike with a loud muffler would be amazing. It really sings once you get it going.

Different angle of the same bike, not the exact one. This model package is supposed to have the louder exhaust too.
Im going to try out the 899, multistrada, and Diavel S in the next couple weeks.

Really cool little bike, super torquey, too quiet for my taste, everyone stares at you.

I hate quiet bikes. IMO They are often ignored/unnoticed in traffic leading to accidents with cars.

I enjoy setting off car alarms in my neighborhood on my morning commute at 6:30. I dont' think I'll ever go inline after getting used to a v-twin.

Air cooled yea, really nimble great little city bike. Pretty quick, this one had brembos on it so it really stopped.

seems like a pretty cool bike. Watched some youtube vids of it.

no valves on a two stroke :devil:

aside from the power valves, but if they are anything like the YZ and CR motors they dont adjust if i recall correctly, been a while since I've torn one apart

HAHA touche'

Just what i've heard. I do know that parts seem to be really expensive for KTMs. From the posts on Midwest Motard, facebook group, i've seen people say this.

I do like the KTMs they seem to be a better option though the new WR seems to have a boost in HP. Saw a video of a new one racing like a 2012 one and the new one smoked the older one. Gardensnake video.
