2019 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle | The Domesticated Flat Tracker

[@viperq]

Ducati did a great job attracting new riders with the Scrambler line.

[@jimhlee]

I agree, I've always had more fun riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. Cars ditto.

[@snbifb8293]

I'm looking at a 2016 scrambler classic right now, pleasantly surprised to see you have a video on one even if a few years newer 😄

[@DrKinesin]

Micah, not only do you get to review cars for a living, you have a sweet helicopter. I have always loved flying since I was a kid and hope to learn someday. Now I find out you have a Yamaha FZ 09 motorcycle which is my dream bike. I am very envious of your life. Keep up the good work.

[@an_kan]

In my opinion the cafe racer is the most refined and most beautiful bike of the ducati scramblers.

[@mark-qi6di]

Came here because of the Mazda 6 video. This will be my first motorcycle video that I am watching, haha

[@edwingonzalez9031]

Please more motorcycle reviews! Great review! Thank you

[@fahadkhalid6944]

Plz do a lot more bike reviews. Its fantastic. Almost every car guy is also a bike guy. We all love good engineering.

[@mattmccegan4031]

There ya go.. finally... we got a bike video.. Still waiting for the reviews... Thanks Micah

[@trihops]

"That's properly douchey." Micah, you are one funny guy!

[@muhammedismail6474]

I NEED A HONEST ANSWER, SHOULD I BUY DUCATI SCRAMBLER OR MONSTER 821 ?

[@spacemarine8289]

That brake cable sticking out above the speedo is freaking me out.

[@pmlsantos]

Kinda weird yes but you get used to it. I think they wanted that way to feel old school.

[@p016264]

I have that same bike, and never notice it while riding, just like your brain doesn't notice your nose unless you choose to focus on it even though you "see" it all the time.

[@johnnyboy1586]

Yep you think they could have tucked them away somehow

[@StephanoHamez]

Love the review and humour I’ve just bought a Monster was very close getting a Scrambler ❤️💪🏼 🇮🇹

[@YocoWheelin]

I really like the scrambler desert sled.

[@Mattworthy96]

The headlight switches on automatically at night... Impossible to forget. Also, the dash tells you it's on. As for the seat sliding you forward, just use the pegs to push back. Lot more comfortable

[@th7321]

Congratulations on your first Bike review. May I suggest more footage of the road ahead with voiceover with less of the helmet facing camera. All the best!

[@MicahMuzio]

TH Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughtful input. It’s much appreciated!

[@Wilbenster]

I wouldda never known of this video, if it weren't for the Mazda 6 review! Nice!

[@pmlsantos]

Nice review. Interesting.. I'm from Portugal I own this moto and mine doesn't have that light button at right. Mine turn on lights when in low light. Like entering at my garage for example. And indicators turn off automatically if I set that option ON.

[@MicahMuzio]

Pedro Santos Automatic lights seem like a much more logical solution. Unrelated, I love Portugal! I’ve had some great times driving there. 🙌

[@pmlsantos]

@@MicahMuzio yes seems mofe logic. That's nice. Come back again soon 😉

[@pmlsantos]

I own this bike and couldn't be more happier 😃 Nice video 👍

[@ScottKelley]

Whoa you used to do motorcycle reviews too?! Way cool!

[@MicahMuzio]

I dabbled around with them. But they proved to be high-effort, low-reward. 💁‍♂️

[@ScottKelley]

@@MicahMuzio Yeah I get it. My other channel is a motovlogging channel, but I did not put much effort into the videos and it shows haha. I want to get back into it though when I pick up a bike again.

[@randledewees4405]

Did you mean "splay" toed? The front of your foot is pressed out?

[@MicahMuzio]

Nope. The bulky structure near my heels pushed them outward, forcing my toes inward to stay comfortably on the pegs.

[@randledewees4405]

@@MicahMuzio Ugh, not good. It just seemed so unusual that's why I asked. I suppose there are, or will be. aftermarket wider pegs to at least help. In my search for a middle weight funster I doubt I would get a Duc Scrambler over say a MT-07/XSR700/T7/Desert Sled. Or even the new Trident, though I think the pegs are too far back on that bike for me.

[@robchang4410]

is that a gopro on your helmet? what do you use to keep that camera on your helmet?

[@aluisious]

Good review. I like the bike. I like "how it rides" reviews far more than spec sheet recitations, I can find the marketing materials myself. I'd also suggest more POV of the road, that's what I would be doing on the bike.

[@shanesprague764]

Is the front tire backwards???

[@rubenduran86]

Micah you should keep doing bike reviews. This one was great

[@pistolpete4422]

Great review, well done. How tall are you for reference of foot position? You need to let people know. Big difference from a 5-8 guy v a 6-2 guy with foot placement. Thanks.

[@MicahMuzio]

Excellent note about height. I'm 5' 10".

[@karifuravacaihua7750]

Sound amazing!

[@gwgrote5]

I enjoyed your first "cyclic pitch." 😎

[@jeffcoulter7181]

I’m 6.2 with long legs, will the foot peg to seat hight be too cramped?

[@MicahMuzio]

Jeff Coulter It might be a bit cozy but it really depends on personal preference. Definitely worth a test sit.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, nice video with a lack of windowless white vans!😸😸

[@MicahMuzio]

Oh, I'm sure there were there. Hiding in the bushes. :)

[@ryanfrisby7389]

😹😹 There is a widowless white van that drives around my neighborhood with a minion on the side of it. I talked to the guy once, he found this van at a used car lot and it fits his whole family for a cheap price.😺

[@jaewardtattoo]

Did you notice much performance difference between the sled and the full throttle

[@MicahMuzio]

jaewardtattoo Honestly no. But for a proper comparison I’d need to ride each back to back.

[@harrys7701]

I rode them back to back. The Desert Sled felt slightly less nippy, but at first I couldn't tell if it was just down to riding position and height difference etc. But one of the Ducati guys did ask me afterwards and agreed that the icon, classic and FT feel a bit quicker than the desert Sled. The difference is pretty damn small anyway and I had a lot of fun on these and performance was never a concern.

[@photorowe6062]

Like the bike review and sweet helmet too.

[@LeDu1]

I would take you as my back passenger (not a good idea either) :D Fantastic review! Could you please add a height from the seat to the ground and also the weight of the bike next time? These are important for me. Looking forward to watch new bike reviews. Good luck and take care ;)

[@MicahMuzio]

Good suggestion on height and weight!

[@muhammedismail6474]

ICON OR FULL THROTTLE ?

[@kanna1980]

dovresti venire in Italia per fare un po' di curve al lago ! ciaooo

[@MrJasonjace]

nice. What camera & mic are u using?

[@neiljborja]

You guys haven't posted a motorcycle review on KBB since that ancient S1000RR one, right?

[@MicahMuzio]

Correct. Man, that was eons ago.

[@1990-t1j]

Old review, but can I ask how tall you are? I am considering an 800, but maybe I'm too tall.

[@MicahMuzio]

I'm 5' 10". Which I really should've stated in the video. 🤦‍♂️

[@1990-t1j]

@@MicahMuzio Thanks for getting back to me, Micah. I am almost 6ft 1 but disproportionately long in the trunk. My legs are only 32'', so I reckon I'd fit on an 803 no problem.

[@billycushion9266]

Good review bud

[@bwong515]

Love your videos! I’m 5”3 ... could this bike be lowered? With the flat seat option and to assume that this bike could be lower, would I be able to be on my toes ?

[@MicahMuzio]

billy wong Thanks for the kind words! To answer your question. Yes, I think you have some options to lower the Scrambler. If you dial back the pre-load on the rear suspension that’ll increase static sag. That plus the lowered seat might be the solution you need.

[@bwong515]

Micah Muzio thanks Micah for the quick reply! For all you short riders I’m 5”3 and just sat on one of these yesterday.. I could get both my toes on the ground. Ifeel pretty comfortable as the bike seat is very narrow and the bike is light as well

[@NiklasAdv]

How tall are you Micah? Thinking about what you said around 1:25. just as a reference :)

[@MicahMuzio]

5' 10"

[@revico9353]

Wait why that head light sounds like glass , plastic is more strong

[@fastrabbit22]

Wow, great review Micah! REFRESHING.

[@imagiben]

Nice. How tall are yu ? Regarding your size, what's your opinion for guys like me between 5'9 and 6'1 ? Thanks ;)

[@MicahMuzio]

imagiben I’m 5’ 10” and the Scrambler fit me just fine. For riders within a few inches of my height I think the Scrambler’s ergonomics would work great.

[@5hirish]

Pretty entertaining!

[@BTC909]

What will Micah review next? Submarine, Hot Air Balloon?

[@MicahMuzio]

Hovercraft.

[@revmotor]

Thanks Keanu.

[@ejs93033]

Edit: I just watched the rest of the video and holy shit I have a MT09 also 😂😂 and I do concur, the stock mirrors are trash. Particularly my passenger side one. Anything over 80 mph and all I see is the right side of my helmet haha.

[@MicahMuzio]

I wish I could double-love your comment. I've been looking for a long lost black twin and I've finally found him!

[@jimhlee]

Can I be the long lost Asian one? Sold my MT09 last year, a good choice, but my wife isn't unfortunately a twin of yours. She didn't like me riding.

[@MicahMuzio]

It’s a big tent at Micah Drives. Plenty of space for all my twins!!

[@jamesonpace726]

Oh he'll, thought I was yer twin. (But I do thank you for the grammatical correctness, it's a dying art.) But nah, yer ginger, leftie no matter. Still, (was) married, have daughter, am also rider, writer, flyer, rocker, etc. Maybe more like yer older twin...?

[@TLYRIDER]

How tall are you? I am 5'7" and wondering if I would be able to flat foot

He said in another comment that he is 5'10".

[@code23hyper44]

Seat height is listed on the Ducati website. They are not tall bikes.

[@AccelerList]

Yeah but correct me if I am wrang, scramblers are supposed to have the tail pipe up high as to not get damaged with the off roading...so this is really not a scrambler and just more a cafe racer, yeah?

[@MicahMuzio]

AccelerList Pretty much. Nobody’s actually scrambling with these things.

[@tonio427lostone3]

I love you micah!

[@YA-ee9zf]

still do not understand the labels people give the scrambler like domesticated like flat trackers back in the day went 0-60 in 3.4 seconds

hmm for the same price I can buy a Street Triple S... Both are beautiful bikes

[@billyabroad8057]

It's very beautiful but it sucks that they didn't think to hide the cables in the front. Looks bad. Great review!

[@kaveiros75]

I really wished that you took a minute to unscrew that seat cover and show us the pillion seat! I often ride with a passenger, and nowhere have I seen a 2019 Full Throttle without that stupid seat cover. And man, you were so close....
