Which Ducati Scrambler 2023? (Icon vs Full Throttle vs Nightshift)

[@stevesteve201]

I bought the Full Throttle, already 800 miles in. Great for my commute, and my mates are all jealous when we for on a weekend ride. I have no negatives at all so far.

[@bstn6001]

Have you found aftermarket exhausts for this or do the ones for older scramblers work on these?

[@stevesteve201]

@bstn6001 Nope, because I bought the full throttle, I have the nicer exhaust. So, I haven't looked at it. My neighbours wouldn't appreciate anything louder.

[@bstn6001]

@@stevesteve201 ah that’s right! Stock with the term! Haha the neighbors definitely must appreciate you

What do you do about the heating issue? Can you ride this without gear?

[@nicolasdelabassetiere8829]

That's hilarious because I, luckily, already have the new Nightshift (first in Portugal I think) and I've already changed the exhaust for the full sports exhaust (better than the Full Throttle one), and waiting on the quickshifter, handlebars, handguards, small windshield and the panniers. Rizoma parts also already installed :) Honestly, couldn't be happier after months of comparing many many bikes, especially, scramblers!

[@ozgurdogan2064]

which full sports exhaust did you get?

[@nicolasdelabassetiere8829]

@@ozgurdogan2064 the one from their catalogue (which actually works really well and sounds beautiful), the Termignoni sports exhaust

[@ozgurdogan2064]

@@nicolasdelabassetiere8829 that is a great sounding exhaust, great choice. For me though i dont like the straight pipe look like the triumph scramblers that exhaust looks like, still looking for an alternative..

[@nicolasdelabassetiere8829]

@@ozgurdogan2064 there is that option too I believe, which is what you call a high exhaust for scramblers (Termignoni also make one for this scrambler). Thing is, they are quite nice but not super practical if they weren’t perfectly designed with the bike (Triumph made the design specifically for it), but also because the heat and ergonomics for the pillion is not ideal either.

[@BadDriverrr]

Love the way the Nightshift looks but I stand up SO MUCH on my Scrambler I’m happy I got the Icon. Money saved went to full Akrapovic exhaust, rear shock and Sargent seat. It’s perfect

I'm still new to bikes, one of the reasons I started getting interested in them was because of Akira and because they're so much cheaper than cars, I'm still.a car guy, though. I think the X on the headlights are some of the coolest looking parts of any motorcycle I know of

[@gaz-gemw5801]

Full throttle for me, luv it 😊😊😊😊👍🏻

[@AjarnSpencer]

expect 1000 euros for a muffler cover, 400 euros for a brake lever, 300 euros for a rear indicator light (have to change whole tailpiece both indicators, even if only one is broken, it is one piece sneaky buggers!), or perhaps, like me, 3500 euros for a new front fork... meaning do not scratch, snap, break or fall odd the thing because any damage will be beyond affordable repair at Ducati prices. Owner of two scramblers (cafe and nightshift) speaking here. If the tachometer/speedo snaps then you have to change the whole central steering block for about anoter 1000 euros.. anyway i fell off and had a few scratches and an indicator and one front fork to mend and Ducati only accepted replace with new parts and a cost of 300,000 Thai Baht to repair a 430,000 Thai Baht bike! I told them to get in a box six feet under and nail themselves shut

[@VineetBhombore]

@@AjarnSpencer I just cried after learning this. The bike itself costs 17k Euro approximately where I live. Plus these additional expenses and the dreaded Desmo service.

I own the Nightshift 2022 and love it! But I have to say, I'm very jealous when I see all the cool stuff they added in the 2023: ride-by-wire, traction control, ride modes, quickshift, bigger display and multimedia system. Among the 2023 models, I'm still preferring the Nightshift all the way! Absolutely beautiful design.

[@fernandosaucedo9811]

Hi, i love this motorcycle and i would like to know if the maintenance its around … and its true that Ducatis burn extremely his oil? Thanks!

[@X_BILSON]

I like the Nightshift

[@AjarnSpencer]

I have one, it wa sgreat till it needed a few small repairs and Ducati wanted almost the same price as the bike for a few repairs... Dont waste your money on an expensive never ending bill creating burden. It is a beautiful bike and fun to ride, but you need the same money as the price of the bike to fix and service the thing. It will cost you more than what you paid for it in services over 5 years. Ducati sold only less than 500 bikes last year because nobody wants this kind of maintenance costs.. 385 bikes worldwide sold (not many eh?).. The scrambler is saving them, but in truth Ducati is dying, with the scrambler being the lifevest keeping them in exitstence. Thailand is full of Ducatis for sale (second hand) as nobody wants the cost of spare parts and maintenance, and even though Ducati factory is in Thailand, half the service centers and sales reps have closed already, because Ducati wants them to sell unreasonable amounts of bikes (impossible numbers) and they are giving up. Ducati have really xxxked up except for the scrambler, which has a separate website and identity, but the same problem will kill the movement of fandom, as your pockets get peeled by Ducati beyond what even Keanu reeves or Warren Buffet would afford or accept. second hand Ducati monsters in Thailand looks like the third reich army standing in line.. absolutely thousands of red bikes for sale... nobody wants a onster or streetfighter anymore, you can get one for 2000 - 3000$ almost new condition here. Scramblers not so much, and when you do see one for sale second hand, it is because it has a problem from assembly line like mine had. MInd you now my personal mechanic has sorted both bikes out which is better than Ducati could do and was much cheaper, so i shall be seeing how they fare now they are free from Ducati's clutches

[@day0walker]

​@@AjarnSpencerWhere are you getting those numbers from 500 bikes sold last year?! Ducati sold around 60,000 bikes last year which is more than the year before that. I don't think Ducati are doing too bad.

[@prawnstar9213]

The scrambler icon used to cost $9k pre pandemic.. IMO they haven’t made any major changes for the $12k they cost in 2024. All motorcycles are overpriced now.. they want to attract a new generation of riders but don’t realize that the younger generation will have a much harder time justifying +$10k prices.

[@martykasa7864]

Terrible... They should put the new single in these. Keep the styling more traditional... Like triumph, people buying Royal Enfield's because they look better, but you know they don't want to be riding RE's performance wise.

Night shift with an exhaust.

[@frankpinion4937]

I think the Icon however I'm not overly impressed with the lcd instrument cluster-I think a more retro round analogue dial with a rectangular section for extra digital information, like gear indicator-dual trips-clock & ambient temp. I also think they should have done a enduro option with bash plate & high guard as well as spoked wheels. I would add an off road mode to the mode options on the bike. I would have dropped the night shift as I can't really see the point in it as it really doesn't fit into the retro look or an evolution of the 62 model. I would also drop the wide tyre on the rear wheel for the Enduro model as well as a slightly deeper wall profile on the tyre for better off road & more suspension travel which would translate to a slightly higher seat height at 805 mm (lowered)-835 mm (standard height).

[@Gerry89b]

have any one changed the steering wheel on the nightshift to the same one that is on the Full Throttle and was it much work? do you need to rewire or do it all fit?

[@MrTrek164]

Love the full throttle but won't buy one because of the ridiculous short service intervals for the belts .My mileage would need 2 set of belts a year ,makes for an expensive bike to own .
