Earlier in the year I went to a Ducati ride day. I used to be a major fan, and probably my all time favorite bike is a Ducati, but I ended up leaving the place without trying a single bike. Seriously, I would not buy any of their current range, and the Scrambler is not about to change that.
I really think that they could have a success if they bring back the SportsClassic range, to compete with the likes of the R9T and the CB. And I wish they would also come out with a new ST that doesn't look like the rest of their range...
Heck yes! When I bought my VStrom 1000 in '07 I was looking really hard at the SportsClassic, but the dealership was such a cluster I couldn't get the deal done. Which turned out to be a lucky break because the GT's fiberglass gas tanks turned out to be a nightmare. I know a guy who had to replace the tank 3 times before he finally sold his bike.
Or how about another bike like the Paul Smart replica? I'd line up to buy one of those, or something in the same vein. Ducati has so much design history to draw on...
