· Cool Hunting – Test Ride: 2015 Ducati Scrambler – Unique Visitors: 4,328,110 o Notable Quote: “In short, the bike is definitely a Ducati—its quick, sporty and rather sleek—and certainly finds inspiration in the 60s- and 70s-era enduros, though its also not a lame heritage reproduction. In fact, Scrambler Brand Director Mario Alvisi calls the design post heritage. Its a modern bike, with LED lights, a performance-tuned engine and even a USB charger under the seat. Though the biggest takeaway for us, is that the 2015 Scrambler may in fact be the first Ducati to attract a younger generation of riders that couldnt care less about the Monster or Superbike. And though its not for beginners, it is a fun, mid-weight bike thats designed with an adventurous spirit.” o Story Link: coolhunting/design/test-ride-2015-ducati-scrambler-motorcycle · Autoweek – Ducati Scrambler First Ride – Unique Visitors: 676,156 o Notable Quote: “Yes, there is now a Scrambler brand, full of more customization opportunities than a Mini: gas tank plates, seats, color schemes, handlebars, and even shirts, hats and saddle bags. If the actual lifestyle winds up being anything like the supermodel-strewn promotional material, yes, sign us up.” o Story Link: autoweek/article/car-reviews/ducati-scrambler-first-ride · Cycle World – 2015 Ducati Scrambler: First Ride – Unique Visitors: 311,482 o Notable Quote: “All things considered, the new Scrambler Ducati is silly good. Yes, it’s an all-around easy bike to ride that also performs soundly when ridden hard, but it also has enough engine and comfort for long-distance travel. Going across a continent on the Scrambler would not be an endurance stunt; it’d be natural and easy. Sure, experienced riders would want more horsepower and more accoutrements for that, but for those just wanting simpler bags of fun, the Scrambler can do it all. Everything about the Scrambler’s performance is right on, and it really does fulfill the promises of its pose.” o Story Link: cycleworld/2014/12/15/2015-ducati-scrambler-motorcycle-review-first-ride-photos-specifications/ · Motorcyclist – 2015 Ducati Scrambler Icon: First Ride – Unique Visitors: 177,076 o Notable Quote: “In the end, this bike will likely be judged for what it represents, less how it performs. It’s cool to look at and fun to ride, and in contrast to the size and complexity of many new bikes, the Scrambler takes a welcome detour back to the basics. What remains to be seen is whether the cool kids will buy into it. Some of those who ride clapped-out old bikes wear their authentic vintage experience like a badge of honor, if not as a testament to how cheaply they can live. Ducati’s best bet is selling the “post-heritage” experience to those who ride bikes like the modern Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7. They’re much more likely to go for a shiny new motorcycle with monthly payments, especially when the price starts at a reasonable $8,495.” o Story Link: motorcyclistonline/reviews/2015-ducati-scrambler-icon-first-ride-motorcycle-review?dom=mcy&loc=contentwell&lnk=2015-ducati-scrambler-icon-first-ride · Motorcycle USA – 2015 Ducati Scrambler First Ride – Unique Visitors: 1,624,353 o Notable Quote: “Despite slotting in as Ducati’s entry-level model, the Scrambler is one of the better motorcycles that the Italian marque has come out with lately. Based on its $8500 price tag, it is a bike we’d actually consider buying. It looks cool, it rides well, it’s fun and sounds cool, just like a great bike is supposed to.” o Story Link: motorcycle-usa/103/20648/Motorcycle-Article/2015-Ducati-Scrambler-First-Ride.aspx · Revzilla – 2015 Ducati Scrambler First Ride – Unique Visitors: 275,522 o Notable Quote: “The Ducati Scrambler is a great bike but, more importantly, it’s great for motorcycling. Ducati has managed to take motorcycling back to its roots by creating a fun, beautiful, and decently performing motorcycle, and they’ve done so at a very accessible price.” o Story Link: revzilla/common-tread/2015-ducati-scrambler-first-ride
