Which would you choose, if any?

Looks like Ducati are moving with the times, rival for triumphs scrambler perhaps?

Moving with the times, we'll I guess it will appeal to the emerging hipster open faced helmet market. I'd still have one for popping to the shops if I was loaded.

Got to be the one with the Termis.

Urban Enduro gets my vote too, but they'd have to do something about that fugly exhaust.

Urban enduro definitely a winner in my eyes. Although it looks like something David beckham would ride so it has to lose points Thumbs Down

Feeling a little underwhelmed by anything without forced induction and 300bhp right now. I'll get back to you once it's worn off.

Will it be being used parked outside a trendy wine bar, or a fashionable coffee shop?

The triumph scrambler has more in the looks department. An the Ducati exhaust is ugly, can't they make any exhausts nice anymore (on about all bike manufacturers).

You realise ducati did hipster before it was cool? The monster came out in the 90s and its matching helmet was open faced, but with a plastic fly guard - if that isn't the epitome of hipster I don't know what is!

On topic, I rather like the scrambler Smile

75 hp, compared to the scrambler's 65

made in italy, well it's better IMO to thailand

and I'm a big triumph fan

Or you could get a used SV650 which is a similar spec but a fraction of the price - also has more sensible road kit.

Lacks the trendy wine bar hipster thingy, of course.

They look nice enough and kinda proper old bike classic in one way. But better to ride than a Monster? No way IMO!

Anything new will be ride by wire EFI, with lean fueling, indirect throttle response, too many electronics and not enough fun!

Tl:dr, The scrambler Ducati looks okish, has a hint of old bike cool, but an old school classic built not brought rival would be the better rider and more cool without the complexity too!

Anyone who can afford that Ducati, could probably make something nicer from an XS650 or Z750 IMO!
