Having had my FZ1 N ABS for four and a half years, I have traded it against a Ducati Scrambler. My new bike is being built in Italy this month, but a demo ride convinced me to make the change. The Scrambler has precisely half of the claimed horsepower of the FZ1, but it's low, light, characterful and great fun to ride. I enjoyed my FZ1 a lot, and went to plenty of places on it, including two trips to France, but it was always slightly tall and heavy for me on awkward cambers, gravel, etc. While I'll no doubt sometimes miss the raw power, I think that the Scrambler is a better "fit" to me.

Bikes should be fun! What ever floats your boat to get that smile is a win in my opinion. Let us know what it is like when you get it.

The Ducati Scrambler looks a nice bike, I reckon they will sell loads. Which version are you getting?

I'm getting the base model (Icon) in yellow. Hopefully late this month or early March. The other models will arrive rather later than the Icon.

As stated above, it would be nice for you to let us know, after a few ride outs, how you get on with the 'Scrambler'.
Good luck with it.
