The Triumph Scrambler had the most authentic look, but will this 500-plus pound motorcycle have what it takes to stack up to the competition? Read the full comparison review: www.Motorcycle-...

Nice, I have basically tested those three bikes 2 months ago. The Guzzi was the new v7 850cc though. I have found the Scrambler the most comfortable of all the three. It felt to me like a proper bike. With the Arrow 2:1 exhaust it's the perfect bike.

[@pcasso87]

They forgot to add that you can get an optional skid plate for the scrambler. I test rode one today and put a deposit on a full throttle edition righter after the ride. I just could not stop the grin on my face after riding it, its pure fun.

[@clairebannister4749]

Well presented, informed and informative reviews of the 3 bikes - well done.

[@logandrayson4175]

Motorcycle USA GREAT 3 Part Series! I'm new to motorcycles and these 3 happened to be the 3 I was looking at, Amazing! Thank you.

[@orangeorphan]

It seemed like they all liked the Triumph more than the Ducati but the Ducati still won. I don't get that.

[@TopGun930]

Side by side at a bike show, the Guzzi V7 comes off as a much higher quality looking piece (I've not ridden either machine). The treatment around the handlebars on the Ducati looked and felt very cheap.

[@1990-t1j]

2:27 'A little bit too much response out of the bottom'. That's exactly what you want.

[@katana258]

its all about off road scramblers and the duck was the worst on susp. throttle , seat , bashing the underside ... and it wins because it has more power on the hard road and cheaper..i just do not under stand ...ya agree price , power lighter = fun .. but if you can not do off roads how is it all around better ... ??

[@MrSlowestD16]

Yeah, and only the base icon is cheaper, the urban enduro/full throttle/classic versions are 10k, highest price here.

[@katana258]

10-4 strange just change the seat fenders, muffler ,color and charge more ..like they cost way more then the base seat, fender, muffler, paint .. low ball loss leader ..for the lazy pretend hipster with $$$ who can not screw up a cb350 .. what you say hipster sure look at the high priced new threads that are made to look like used old hipster wear from goodwill ..week end instant hipster and bike market ..same as the upper rich bmw hipster r9t ...at least the triumph does not market it that way triumph owners do not have to pretend to be hip or want to be ...the badge says it all and was around [ the new triumph bonnies /scrambler ] before any new age calif. hippsters were born ... it just is what it is a riders bike on and off the road ..

[@FlypFlap91]

Roy Rodriguez yeah, right, its worse offroad than a bike thats 90 lbs more heavy... jesus christ, get a grip man...

[@katana258]

FlypFlap91 hey happy hipster ...check ou 3.20 even theses clowns say the triumph was a better off road bike ... you see let me explain scrambler = some off the road ... get it and this is a scrambler test ...well as long as you so not leave your hipster parking lot with the paper cups and dodging wooden spoons your duck will be ok ...but get 50 miles out in no where and and no starfuck and you rip off the oil filter , you better hope your $ 400 new /old hipster looking jacket can soak up the oil pouring from the holes so you can send smoke to save your ass ..... three diff bikes for two diff use , tested by fools like a sport bike ...get it ... triumph dirt , duck urban ..

[@FlypFlap91]

Roy Rodriguez i dont think i qualify as a hipster or ride a hipster bike. and i dont really care what these "clowns" are saying, a 240 kilo naked bike will be shit offroad, deal with it. i fucking rode it and its the most boring bike i've ever sat on.

[@veegs23]

Couldnt you just chuck one of those engine guards at the bottom of the engine like the Triumph?

[@MrSlowestD16]

Probably not, the engine appears to be a stressed member of the chassis on this bike, so what would you bolt the bash guard to where it actually has support? On the scrambler it has a double cradle frame so when you bolt the bash guard to that it has 2 solid rails to provide support for that bash guard. Get what I mean?

[@veegs23]

MrSlowestD16 Yeah, makes sense, thanks

[@mariorjcorbin]

The enduro comes with a bash guard. You can add one to the Ducati Icon as well. Its part of their accessory range.

[@katana258]

Veggieburger sure on the motor no lower frame thats why the duck is part lighter ...anyone will tell you the bash plate should be on the frame for max protection not just looks ..so you can slide over the object till clear ..protecting all of the underside area ...and up the frt from anything thrown up from the tire ..and what is needed on the triumph is the r&g oil cooler screen to protect that from holes ..even the duck needs a screen with the short frt fender

[@MrSlowestD16]

I think this bike is a really nice addition to the duck line-up. Look forward to riding it! It's a shame the suspension is a bit soft on it.

[@bananamanstrikesback5553]

how did it get first?

[@NYCLusso]

Hello boys, I am considering selling my 749s. I love everything about the bike but I want something a little bit more comfortable. I am considering the Scrambler but I would also like to hear your thoughts on the new Harley Davison Roadster. Thanks for the videos!

[@phongle6179]

tell me the drive tracks in the video is not ? thanks!

[@jasunto]

So you're saying it has the crappy infamous Ducati low throttle chop due to low fueling because of S3 emissions? I was hoping since my Streetfighter S has this, one day they would fix it on the newer bikes.

[@atarian345]

The rear shock is adjustable on the Ducati.

[@yellowduck3062]

Personally I was disappointed with the styling of the Ducati Scrambler when I saw it in person. Styling wise it's a truly modern interpretation of a classic concept, and really contrasts with the more honestly retro-looking MG and Triumph. Not to my taste personally, but if the main performance gripe is the soft suspension...well, springs are cheap. Tell the dealer you want $200 off MSRP to buy stiffer springs for both ends and I doubt they would send you packing.

[@bullsaber871]

I think the moto guzzi is clearly the winner because itis the most original bike. It comes only with a few new modern things but looks and even sounds the same as the models in the 70ies. It has even the same engine!

[@screenscanner]

did you just say you basically loved everything about the triumph and then it didn't win?

[@katana258]

Salacious Crumb yes they did but these fools are sport bike riders and test any bike by that factor ... as in duck more power , lighter, better brakes , wheelies .... a scrambler is both on and off road ...and thus the test should be can any of the bikes do both ... triumph less brakes , seemed to work for the past 14 years on other models with the same brakes , does one do 70 mph in the dirt and need better brakes [ NO ] ... lighter triumph has a full frame and thus a place to mount the bash plate proper like ....power off road one needs the low speed crawl , low end torque , heavy flywheel to pull with out slipping the clutch ...... triumph could put the bonnie motor in it thus gaining 15 more hp stock but at the cost of power at 5000 rpm up , not down low like the scrambler style motor ..and really the triumph has been around and works in this model and in the 60's also where the duck was a failure in the 60's ..triumph knows what works .. duck is learning and anyway markets this as a lazy pretend has $ ego urban hipster bike complete with over priced new / old looking clothes [ see videos and sales papers ] ....sure fun road bike even urban pot hole / curb bike but scrambler .. it comes up short , from the low pipes , no real bash plate , gearing , flywheel weight ...

[@kribar96]

First time ducati have ever won a competition. Except the one against mv agusta.

[@p.l.c8876]

[@libinchandran9934]

[@cjbrisco2145]

How is the ducati so "jarring" if its suspension is "soft" wtf?

[@FunkyGravityRacing]

Love the bike but that's different for the reviewers

[@danfavata2821]

too bad it isnt made in Italy, Id buy one if it was,

[@lucamenna8208]

I think the Moto Guzzi v7 is...

[@lucamenna8208]

Ow, just saying, the italian and European version is made in Italy, in Borgo Panigale.

[@TheSebastianmartinez]

I went to check one out and I couldn't help but thinking that it looks like a giant toy. It seemed like it was made out of plastic. Doesn't look raw which I dig in scrambler style bikes.

[@mikeydempsey]

You Canny Take A Ducati off Road,, Street ok, Dirt Dont Think so It,s Italian

[@lucamenna8208]

It's a scrambler. It's suppose to do that...

[@woppini]

Sat on the Duc at the dealer. Couldnt get passed how flimsy the handle bars look.

[@nikos-giorgos]

+woppini Easy remedy!Change them...
