By far the best reviewer i saw on youtube! like ever , watching this i felt like i was sitting with a friend telling me about about a bike he tested , genuine manhood and pure motocycle awesomeness !! subscribed and would love to see more of his videos !! Chapeau bas
68, ridden for 30 years, Suzuki, Kawasaki, 9 BMW 's and now Ducati Scrambler 800 Icon. So much fun. Great mileage and FUN. LIGHT, ENJOYABLE and lots of smiles
Thanks in no small part to this (in my HO the best of SO many I've seen) review I finally did it, went out and bought the 1100 Special for a crackin' price after 12 months of deliberation. Fantastic bike. I love it. My wife loves it. We've put 6000 on the clock in 6 months of ownership. (I work 6 days a week). Thanks for getting me over the line after so much "shall I or not..?"
Thank you so much for making a video which is more relevant to the real world perspective buyers who would be riding on the road for every day purposes. This helps clear out a lot of things that I look for in reviews not just numbers and specs of the bike and how fast it can ride on track and the gadgets that help it perform on track. How often will one have the time to go on track and buy something just for that purpose. Please keep on making more such videos. Love from India ❤❤❤
Excellent review. I live in the states, but love watching your videos. My dream bike is a matte gray Ducati XDiavel with the brown leather seat. If I wasn't so committed to the XDiavel the Scrambler 1100 would be very compelling. Thank you for all the great videos, and keep them coming :)
Bike World ...regrettably I now have to buy one... after the lockdown of course, having been very close to pulling the trigger on the Desert Sled. This video has me asking “just how much desert features in my commute into Bristol?”
@@mattwilliams9758 This would make a better commuter bike, the sled looks cool though. Let us know what you go for, we can tell Ducati we sold them another bike!!!
Well you can tell Ducati you sold me one, I had a test ride after seeing your first review in Lisbon and yes TC off and it's great with the odd cheeky wheelie. Big Thanks 👍🏼
Good review. I love this bike, the fact that Ducati can still sell a large air-cooled engine bike with euro5 laws is great. Not much plastic, future classic.imo.
I think this one the best "street bike" engines around. Awesome sound, lots of torque, but not too crazy fast so it you are actually able utilize it fully.
Great review, I love my 800 full throttle as it has enough power even in A2 restricted form. Only downside in summer is the raging heat that comes off the bike. In UK I imagine that is welcome but not commuting in south of France 🤣🔥🔥
I just got one about 2 weeks ago and is exactly what I wanted from a bike It can do so many things ! Is like 3 bikes in one seriously Fun to ride ! Love the sound of the exhaust being the stock one , gear box and clutch are so smooth and can be aggressive if you want to ! Is very comfortable even with someone in the back , the more you get to know the bike the more you get from it , I’m happy I got this exact model , I was going for the hypermotard or multistratada but after look at them close and thinking 🤔 I’m 40 and I need a serious bike , this was the right fit ! Thanks for your review! Again ! Cheers 🍻
Got my 2018 demo with 300 miles for $7999. Had the known issue with the piston slap (on 2018's) fixed under warranty. Have been enjoying the bike ever since. Thanks for the review! I dig the black tank panels Ducati put on there. Not a fan of all the aluminum bits. I'm thinking of anodizing them all on mine. I will be putting on my competition werkes exhaust today and will probably post some vids of before and after.
I know exactly what you mean about having to stick your leg out in the wet. The mountain climb out of Grenoble, France is deadly in the wet. It was as though someone had laid and lacquered marbles. Great review and I can't wait for the next Desmo build vid.
God this bike looks so badass. I’m currently saving up so I can buy one outright, it’s going to take a minute but I’m so stoked for the day I’ll be riding one
Great review mate. I only just discovered this model. I have been thinking about what type motorcycle I would get next. Honestly I had been thinking about a standard bike like a Royal Enfield Continental GT. But I've grown kind of fond of the scrambler look and I'm not serious about an adventure bike. The scrambler looks like a great Urban brawler. The ability to take a dirt trail now and then would be fun. I'm surprised I see the great bargains are leftover 2019 or even 2018 models brand new. Under 10K USD. I think the Ducati will do it all for me and will be my next motorcycle 🤠
That the best review I've ever seen on 1100 I have 1100 sport edition 2018 model still 500 kilometres only i can't tell how much I love this bike Power is a true thing on this bike no one would regret getting it Thank you again for such a review One thing I don't like is the factory mirrors i can't see much with it so am thinking to have side mirrors it might gives better visibility.
@@jason7i2 since last comment I have changed the handel bar to zero drag the 2021 sport pro handelbar and added a end bar mirrors much much better view and more aggressive look and put 15k km and I still in love with it best to ride with a fancy look and massive good maneuvering
Went to test ride a Monster 797 here in Thailand last year, liked it. Had an 800 Desert Sled test mule available, rode that, preferred it, even though i'm more of a MonsterMan. Different gearing i think. Sat on the various Scrambler range in the showroom, nice but too small for my 110 kgs and 6'3" frame. Until i spied the 1100's, lovely. Nice colours and much bigger in proportion, really liked them. Must ride one. Not keen on all that plastic shrouding that covers airbox, reg rectifier, oil cooler stuff on the the 796/1100 old Monster range, even worse on the 797 and Scrambler range - hiding a lot of the motor from the R/H side. Surely could be detailed better? Not overly keen on the sticky outy bit on the speedo either, and being a Luddite, not a fan of ride by wire. Having said all that, and being a twin type of guy, i drove 200kms to my nearest Yamaha dealer a month ago to test ride an XSR700 with a cable to the injection bodies, loved that, but the showroom manager said one of his staff wants to sell his farkled out, full system XSR900 triple.... have a go... Possibly the bestest, most insane street motor i have ever ridden. Insane torque and fantastic throttle response. I mean smiles per miles? So, 2 questions John please, what happened to your project XSR900? and what bike do you prefer, Yam triple or Ducati 1100 twin? Both bikes have the same peak torque figures too. Great review as per, TIA.
Great review. True words. A bike is never just a sum of it's numbers on paper. The 1100 feels much more substantial and the motor feels way more lively than and of the 800s. It is to the point you'd think the bikes aren't related. It also sounds and revs much nicer, sportier than the R nine T. That is preferential however. I regret getting the Cafe and not the 1100. Likely sell mine privately and pick up a 1100.
Like listening to a review from a mate, no bu11shit full of fluff. Everything you want and need to know, no pretentious bollox that you don't. Nice one my man!
You came testing this bike on my backyard, Serra da Arrábida. With wet weather or cold days, some parts of the road are very slippery indeed! I love this engine, the old 1100 air cooled they already used on ducati Hypermotard 1100 s, and that was a BEAST! Nice video, thanks for sharing! When will you do a sinilar one with the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S? Pretty please!!!
MotardFeio SC you have beautiful roads mate. I’ve ridden them in the dry as well and they’re incredible. They were very sloppy the day we filmed out there.
When I reviewed the Special a year + ago I had very similar conclusions. The engine is wonderful and punches well above its weight and the bike handles like a peach in traffic. The 1100 is a superb urban tool that sounds and looks great. Definitely worth looking for a 2nd hand low mileage example. Here in the US there are leftovers around too.
I found 2 with with basically no miles on them. They are 2018's. $8,500-9,000USD. I am going to look at the Yamaha XST700 on Tuesday. The Yamaha has to absolutely slap in order to talk me out of the Scrambler 1100.
@@atastefortheroad4475 Thanks a lot man. I watched your review and I gotta say, great job. Hope you're still riding and enjoying that beautiful VA country side. I have to ask, did you try the 1100 sport at all? Or do you have any experience with the Yamaha's? I found a 2018 1100 Sport for $9,500 with only 75 miles on it. It's a dealer demo bike. Just wondering if you think the Ohlins shocks are worth the extra $500-1000 it will tack on to the price of the base models I found for sale.
@@burroaks772 I haven't ridden the 1100 Sport. I do think the Ohlins are worth the extra and the bike will always be worth more. The Sport (due to its price) has never sold well and will be always be more rare. I haven't had experience w/Yamaha and it's a fine brand. Going this route would be satisfying. But being partial to Ducati, I think you'd really enjoy the 1100 Sport. $9500 is quite good w/only 75 miles. Typically, Ducati requires more miles on a demo bike for a dealer to qualify for the "demo" discount. Ducati must be waiving this. You might see if the dealer will waive the setup and delivery costs because of its demo status. Or see if they can throw something else into the deal. Whatever you choose, Yamaha or Ducati, you'll be getting a nice machine!
@@atastefortheroad4475 First off, I'd really like to thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Your experience and insight has been extremely valuable. I think with the current situation of how the world economy has been looking, Ducati is probably just trying to push as many of the older year bikes they can off the showroom floor. I'm assuming that's why I'm able to get such good pricing right now. I know the dealerships are wheeling and dealing hard right now too. Luckily I have the advantage of being able to pay cash and not finance the bike. I'm not going to put them through the ringer, because I know they have to make money too. However I think they are looking for an influx of liquid capital over inventory and long term payments. They sweetened the pot by throwing in the first scheduled maintenance @ 621 miles in for free about a $300 value. From what I've read and talked to the dealers about, looks like the 7,500 mile service runs around $600 and the 15,000 is about $1100. So I'm factoring that into my purchase as well. Looking forward to checking out the Yamaha Tuesday. I'll let you know what I decide if you are interested. Otherwise have a great day. Thanks again 👍
I’ve got one of these. Only gripe is that while it’s easy to switch riding modes it’s cumbersome to switch traction control levels (I.e 4 is for rain). Best to set city mode with DCT4 so if you want to power down in the rain it’s ez.
Nice review. But the motor is what makes this motorcycle such a blast to ride. Brakes, clutch and suspension are terrific but the motor is the key to its character.
Awesome 👍 review thanks! I currently own an 800 and looking to upgrade in the near future. How would you compare the 1100 to the z900 RS Cafe? Which one would you prefer to tackle a weekend day trip.
Thanks David, I think it all depends on what you're comfortable riding. When we were out filming with John he rode the Cafe more like a sportsbike, have you seen our RS vid: th-cam.com/video/Z5gnC-i87-4/w-d-xo.html
Yes, 4K is glorious. Shame you only uploaded in 1080k though! 😀 Nice real-world review, talking feelings and generalisations, rather than number crunching obsessing. Good job!
The 1100 is very likable . I have other bikes that are faster, better handling, and more expensive but I don't have any that are more fun. Great review.
This is Hogan from Super bikes, he definitely knows what he is talking about please keep him on the channel. Though I disagree on 4 years before changing the oil 11:28 . This should be done yearly regardless of mileage
I've a 2010 Monster 796 and i like the retro style of this Scrambler and also the desert sled version. I am 1,86 m (6'1ft ?), and now my 796 feels a small bike (it was my fisrt bike, so in the first years i didn't felt that). Do you feel that the 1100 scrambler is a small bike for a guy with my high? Keep up with the good and down to earth, daily use, reviews. ;)
Tian Tsering I think the longer trips (300+ miles) suited the Monster more. There was more speed available on faster A roads as well, for those two reasons I’d probably choose the Monster.
Fantastic bike! I would buy it today except for the brake hose that loops up over the gauge. Because of that I'll pass on it until Ducati fixes the mistake.
@@BikeWorldTVshow thanks mate... it did cross my mind,, maybe the lighting just made it a bit more of a badass. so thought it was a different model from shark
I have the yellow one and love it. Only done a thousand miles in a year mind. I have fitted an oil cooler and engine guard - my only gripe is that the short mudguard on the front allows the front wheel to throw up stones that chip the black paint on the front cylinder. Problem solved now though.
This guy does the best, most honest and normal guy reviews. Why can't the rest of them get it .
Thanks man, you have a knack for this stuff.
A good honest review, why can't everyone do it like this !

It's nice isn't it, gone back to Ducati now 😢
Sounds epic!! Does it have just the slip on pipes or the full system??

Watched this today while should I shouldn’t I on my sofa . Got it paid for it arrives 2 days 👍🏻
Great review. That grey colour was used by Italian police on their Alfa Cop cars.
Nice review. But the motor is what makes this motorcycle such a blast to ride. Brakes, clutch and suspension are terrific but the motor is the key to its character.
Okay... that was a good one. Maybe one of your best ones. Touché
Massive fan of his reviews
Awesome 👍 review thanks! I currently own an 800 and looking to upgrade in the near future. How would you compare the 1100 to the z900 RS Cafe? Which one would you prefer to tackle a weekend day trip.

The 1100 is very likable . I have other bikes that are faster, better handling, and more expensive but I don't have any that are more fun. Great review.
Love this bike, prefer the look of the Special though with the wire wheels
Great review. What you'll think the deferences will be compare to the scrambler 1200 xc , in every day use.
Thanks
I would say this would be more usable everyday, the XC is a bit tall.
Nice review ,, ive got the desert sled , so maybe up the anti and go for the 1100. Nice helmet ,,what is it ??
What backpack/messenger were you using please?
I hAve the sport version and I LOVE 💘 like crazy
Any issues with heat off the pipes when riding in town?
What a beautiful looking bike! Just proper sound those pipes are amazing! The only obstacle will be the cost of purchasing it and the service cost.
I am a beginner but I just love to get one. This bike looks so nice. Would it be a bad idea if this is what I get as a beginner?

Thanks, John's about the same height as you and he found it really comfortable, the Sled is very cool though.
how does it compare to the monster 1200s you reviewed last year?
Tian Tsering I think the longer trips (300+ miles) suited the Monster more. There was more speed available on faster A roads as well, for those two reasons I’d probably choose the Monster.
My dream bike. Handles wayyy better than a BMW Nine T. And the low power band is perfect for city hooligan riding.
Nice beastie boys ref at 1:34 🤟
Fantastic bike! I would buy it today except for the brake hose that loops up over the gauge. Because of that I'll pass on it until Ducati fixes the mistake.
Nice review as always.
I wonder if they are considering a Desert Sled 1100. That would be sick but than again maybe too big/expensive for off roading.
Sick [adj]: ill; Sick [verb]: to chunder.
Ducati already got you covered fam.

Jesus mate, smile once in a while!
honest review, respect . but real question here.. the helmet on 0.29 second,, what model is it ?? asking for a friend
That's a Shark Drak helmet.
@@BikeWorldTVshow thanks mate... it did cross my mind,, maybe the lighting just made it a bit more of a badass. so thought it was a different model from shark
4,000 miles 😂
Great review 👍
This real world review just sold the bike for me. Ducati UK should let you have one for another year just because I’m on my way to the dealership!
Just a coincidence, I was listening to Gerry and the Pacemakers before this.. and there they are in the background!
No BS review of the bike,i like it. Who cares about the nos,it's how you feel for the bike when riding it.
I have the yellow one and love it. Only done a thousand miles in a year mind. I have fitted an oil cooler and engine guard - my only gripe is that the short mudguard on the front allows the front wheel to throw up stones that chip the black paint on the front cylinder. Problem solved now though.
Love mine
Is this the sport pro 1100?
How reliable are they, are there high maintanance costs.
Would you recomend this bike to a beginner(A2)? Ducati offers it with a restrictor kit.
No, if you seriously want a scrambler go for the 800.
Adam Waheed could learn a heck of a lot about presenting and reviewing motorcycles from this guy.
We're not saying a word.
SECOND THIS NOTION.
I disagree. They are both excellent but different.
Who?
Pleasuring two invisible men 🤣 fucking classic
Would you say this is better than the triumph scrambler and/or the Triumph street scrambler ?
