Scramblers in the Rockies! Ducati Scrambler vs Triumph Scrambler | ON TWO WHEELS

Finally someone uses scramblers the way there were intended. Not just going to Starbucks.

[@Vara91391]

I agree with what you said except the big rocky part... Bike is just too heavy and not enough clearance, it isn't an Enduro.

I happened to run into this video and I'm glad I did. This was one of the coolest down to earth videos around, no hype or bs, just plain adventurous fun. I appreciated the nod you gave your dads and also staying with the retro look. Reminds me of old films I saw of my dad spinning his Triumph in the mud, taken just after the war. That little Duc and also the Triumph were really put to the test, you guys rode them well. I've had four Ducs over the years, my latest is the 999R. My hats off to you guys!

[@michelt4390]

+Ari Henning There's something to be said about taking inappropriate equipment to out of the way places! I've got to say, I'm surprised you didn't break any shifter/brake pedals on the Scrambler... I'm on my 3rd shifter and 2nd brake pedal ;-) and loving it!

[@arisimonian6870]

This was one of the best "review" videos I've seen. I can get all the specs from the company website and when people doing a review focus on the minutiae the personality of the bike gets lost. From this video, I feel as if I have a good understanding about what it's really like to ride those bikes. You showed where the bikes worked well and where they reached their limits while at the same time coming across as regular guys who are reasonably good (competent) riders. Well done! I subscribed and I look forward to more videos like this. I started riding in 1972 on the old enduros and those were great days.

I wouldn't call you guys idiots. I think you're right, that's the true spirit of offroading. Bikes are supposed to be fun, and you guys once again showed that you can have fun on these bikes! Awesome video.

[@QBallRacing]

awesome, this is what the motorcycle community lacks. just plain down to earth test rides that is suppose to be fun and sets value on the feeling of the bike and goofing around, not all about data on horsepower and suspension or chassie or other stuff that is secondary... most of the customers don´t care if bike x is 3 horsepower less than bike y.. for most of us it´s the feeling of the bike and/or the lifestyle that it represents or comes with it....

[@dreyn7780]

No, that's the fault of male gossip. Keep away from men. Don't speak to them about anything and get to tune your bikes and have a great time on earth.

[@BlackerWinter]

How can you not love this sort of video? These guys' personalities, the retro throwback bikes and gear, awesome scenery and terrain! This is living, these guys got it right.

[@RealLifeAdv]

7 years later and this is still a great video. Especially because it shows the actual limit of what these bikes will actually do - knobby tires included.

[@t.s.6850]

When the triumph lost its exhaust I just thought to myself “eh sounds better that way.” Because I owned a straight piped Bonnie a few years back 😂

[@adityasundar324]

One of the best motorcycle videos I have seen in a long time. I suppose Ducati Scrambler is a better one of the two considering the fact that it a full 48 Kgs lighter than the Triumph and 18 horses more with the almost same torque. Some Skid plates and upswept exhaust with some tuning to the suspension would make the Ducati a really good offroader .

[@Real_MisterSir]

The Ducati would be incredible with some longer suspension travel and an engine guard! The look of it is also really cool, modern yet classic. And good size tires too

You guys are awesome. Street tests of these bikes are a dime a dozen, but people who are willing to test them offroad like you did seem to be scarce. Thank you for sharing. My first scrambler was a honda CL 350, and I drove it to work every day, and drove it on the trails on the weekends and occasionally raised a few eyebrows at the MX track when the guys on their RM 125s could not shake me off their tails... Thanks also for pointing out some of the off road issues, like the Duc and the lack of ground clearance.

[@MrMambott]

One point to think about is that most 1960s and 1970s Scramblers were anywhere from 100cc to 500cc with the most popular being around the 350cc until trail bikes like the Honda SL 350 made them obsolete ,, 800cc and over as a scambler is a bit nuts and a bit heavy IMO ,, They need to make some at about 350cc ,that would be worth a look ,, but I think an XR400 R or a hair raising Maico 490 is a bit more practical ( well maybe the Honda anyways ) lol ,, or you can do as other's do and custom build a scrambler from old CB Honda's and such ,, : )

+Steve O'Hare .. BSA's, Bultaco's, Montessa's and lots of other off road bikes bit the dust when the magazines started doing dynos and showing how little HP they actually had... too bad they didn't upgrade their products so we'd still have lots of companies to choose from... of course, it was also difficult for them to compete with 40c/hour Asian wages...
