Today local dealer already sold two! Not all models will be available at the same time. Pricing is around 10000.- CHF, so guess its less than 10000.- USD.
I like the "Full Throttle". I don't like the single disk front brake and the non-hydraulic clutch actuator.

Good point. But why did Ducati "spent" the new Scrambler the same horse power compared to the Monster? Not a good idea to keep Monster customers happy
obviously have to see them in person but a red icon at a low, low price wouldn't be a bad second bike for me....or her to ride.

I don't think the OP asked about comparing bikes... but asking, of the four Scramblers, which one you liked the most...
Would be a complete different thread if the questions was "Do I buy a Scrambler, or a Monster 696, or a Streetfighter 848, or ....?"
All I want right now is a Panigale... but I can play in this thread.

"None of the above" wasn't an option so I made the comparison. Just because this is a Ducati, doesn't make it any more appealing. No doubt it will sell. Obviously the lack of visual appeal isn't going to stop it from selling. S1KRR is a perfect example. For $10k'ish, give me a speed triple.

I may be in the minority, but it being built by Ducati actually does make it more appealing to me. I wouldn't be nearly as interested in a similar bike from any other manufacturer. The simple lines, air-cooled L-Twin, ties to Ducati's history, and ability to go off-road when feeling a bit spontaneous all draw me into this model.

While perusing the site, I was given tacit approval from the ministry of interior, aka my wife, to get an enduro version. Well that's how I took it, she said I like the enduro version the most, so I am getting one to .... around town on.
On another note, anyone here track the hypermotard? NH makes it look really awesome for the track, but I've heard others express disappointment.
Sorry to hijack the thread.

I did one on my hyperstrada and it was fun as hell. Granted not a balls out day but still a blast to do on it. Id imagine the SP would be an even more fun track day run

Yes, but if you're used to riding a sport bike hard on the track you either need to completely shift your way of riding to accommodate the different riding position or you'll be sorely disappointed and/or crash due to not having as much weight on the front tire. You don't trail in hard on the front end on a Hyper, you have to either ride it supermoto style (foot out) or you can ride it sporbike style (knee out) but with a squared-off cornering style. It's fun, but different.
