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

[@TwoFistsOneHalleluja]

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!

[@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

[@tbraun513]

I really like the exhause pipe layout on this bike. It has a boa constrictor look to it, like it wraps around the whole engine block.

[@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

[@mb23detailing93]

Just purchased the Full throttle love it!!

[@SrMway]

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

[@thebrowns5337]

[@HermanVanlent-i9w]

0:17 I bought the Ducati Scrambler Nightshift with the Termi Race exhaust. It is fun fun fun to ride and abslolutely stylish. Great bike!

[@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.

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

Just ordered the nightshift:) cant wait . Great video

[@DS-nw4eq]

I like the one that goes vroom

[@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.

[@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).

[@dIsAstErTR]

Really good video. I'm torn between Icon and Nightshift.

Can u customize it ?

[@dave8549]

Great channel. You guys work well together. I'd go for the icon.

Thanks. Clearly my mind was elsewhere! 😂

[@desertx8444]

Pls bring back the desert sled…. I want one and I am here all excited…

[@Shinysideup]

As a 2020 reg scrambler owner I don’t like the look of the new ones. I was looking to update when the new ones came out but have been underwhelmed when seeing them in the flesh. Brought a new speed twin 1200 instead

[@kulebrero]

Nice video. I've been riding the same bike for four years and feel ready for something new. The Nightshift is on top of my list so far. Not sure what else to consider....maybe a Bonneville T100?

[@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.

[@Andre-Mostert]

Awesome feedback, if I my ask what mic setup do you use while riding. I have been really struggling to get some good audio on my ride videos. Many thanks

[@raldyjimenez3319]

I agree night shift with the full throttle handle bar and quick shifter...if possible then that will be my pick

[@alex27076]

Great video and thanks for the detailed review! Wondering though before I would buy one and given the scramblers are air cooled, are they operating optimally also in warm climates (Mediterranean countries with long dry summers)?

[@napoleon9514]

Those look stunning 😍

[@zsalemmackall]

English biker Dan appearance 😂

[@josephlilley9249]

Is choose the nightshift and do some upgrades bc it has the spoked wheels witch are better for off-road. They should have just kept the desert sled.

Full throttle! With spoked wheels :-)

[@jduarte1506]

Nice bike, I never had a Ducati, it really appeals to me and I would like to buy one, I would like a Desert, but now seeing the Fantic with Yamaha engines, the same Yamaha, and the new Triumph 400 that looks great for the city, I'm going to see over time, the only thing I don't like about the Ducati is the high cost of maintenance

[@renatobfa]

Can i get the bar changed on the Nightshift ? I prefer the more straight up body position but the nightshift i so much more good looking

[@Steve-motorcycles]

I think the new Fantic cabarro 700 have these beat

[@peternielsen9208]

Nigthshift is +6kg heavy. Icon for me, full throttle handlelbar.

[@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 .

[@AlbesADV]

Remember when the scrambler was a retro modern bike? I’m surprised they haven’t added winglets to it 😂

So many people don't understand, why this "old school" engine and maintance is still around.
