Ducati Scrambler Sixty2 A2 Rider Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2017
- Our A2 license rider Alex spent a couple of weeks with the Scrambler Sixty2 to see how it stacks up against the A2 market.
Note: Slip of the tongue the Scrambler Icon is 803cc.

We just did over 800 miles from LA, CA to the central coast area and back and my wife's Sixty2 (I have a Scrambler Icon 800) performed awesomely. If you are going to ride a long way, I suggest an Airhawk seat pad - cured our saddle pain - and is just a 100 bucks.
Thanks for the tip on the seat cover 👍
Really great review! You've gained a like and a sub. I'm the same generation as you and your talk of insurance and the like was really informative. No other reviewer or first rider disucsses things such as insurance.
Welcome Lionel
Fab review - I'm a Suzuki Van Van rider looking to do my A2 and this seems the logical step up - thanks!!
Thanks for the review Chef Ramsey
Great honest review, just what we all need. Thx
Lovely review
Am an older rider and bought one of these to ride around town and I love it! Makes my bmw 1200rt feel like a car by comparison. (still can't beat a large bike with wind protection on long rides and freeways)
Thank you. 👍🏍
Gonna try to get one from the dealership in Northhampton, wonder if they could retrofit it so i could actually use the USB wiring? Also, what kind of exhaust would u recommend again?
Top notch review 👌🏿 thank you
Good review.
Looks so much nicer than the KTM.
I have watched this again. I forgot to give it a 'thumbs up' last time, so have one this time.
I have come round to being convinced that the Scrambler is reliable, to the extent that I am going to buy the 800 in Chiang Mai for use in and around Chiang Rai in northern Thailand where I live. I've been banging on about Ducati unreliability for so long I've got out of date, so I have deleted my original comment and your thoughtful reply.
How tall are you, please? Did you find the Scrambler roomy enough?
Excellent review.
Whats the name of the background score it sounds so enticing for riding
How does the exhaust affect side luggage?
Good video
a good review.
What end can would be a good replacement for it?
Prefer if front 17 inch rims rather than 18..
Ducati should consider a new Monster 400
is it ok for beginners
:D Can I feature clips of this video in my video this Friday?
5:37 indicator cancelation? geez, just push it in like on ALL other bikes.
nice review!
thebikeryogi cheers mate
This vs. Honda CB300R?
What is the sound track starting at 0:35 ? Thanks
Hi Martin, it's a library clip: audiojungle.net/item/summer-lounge-house/19438771?s_rank=1
I just wish major manufacturers would produce geared 50cc bikes that don't break the bank.
Should I get a sixty2 or an Icon? Planning to get my first bike
What did you decide?
@@danielp1945 Icon... now dead!
Thank you. Great review. That helmet looks terrible dorky though.
Duke 390 Cheers dude. As for the helmet you'll have to blame my gf, she did the stickering. I've grown to like it
I understand you like it. I would too if my wife did such a terrible thing.
Another thing I really like about this bike is how quiet the exhaust is. ok nvm
selling my kawasaki z300 in 5 left-over a2 months for a hypermotard 939 or monster 1200s =)))
So the correct pronunciation is DEW-Cati.?!
If it's in our vid then yes!
It’s too difficult to become an a2 rider nowadays no ones got time to book and do the theory tests as well as the practicals
Bob Burn it is a shame Bob, I’m afraid the motorcycle industry’s blind to the fact that their audience is dying off, literally!
My pair felt it, ha!
This motorcycle gives me a sexual reaction. I'll be getting one asap
By the sounds of it the fantic caballero 500 is a lot better than the ducati 400.
Could have just restricted the 883cc one to 46bhp
You're right you could restrict the 803cc (slip of the tongue), but insurance wise higher cc bikes still tend to hit your wallet in the end. Also I tend to find restricted bikes don't have the same character as bikes designed for purpose.The twitchy throttle on the 803 could catch novice riders out. Also, I had a chat with Ducati, and apparently they aren't doing restrictions on the 803s anymore really as they will steer people to the sixty2.
they made only one mistake with it,...the price!! or you buy and plan to keep it and take advantage of the lower insurance and spend a little more a get the 800.
I feel bad for people who live in countries where you can't get a 1100cc rocketship for your first bike... My first time on a motorcycle was a 1100cc cruiser and the thing was huge, heavy and pretty damn fast... It left skid marks on the road and in my briefs, so much fun.
Being only 3 kg lighter & $800 cheaper than the 800cc. I would not concider it. Make your first bike a cheap grom & then upgrade.
what is A2 rider? My first ever bike was GSXR750, lol
Cornelius Maximilianus it's a European scheme that limits riders between 19-24 years old, getting a bike over 49hp. The idea being to stop inexperienced riders jumping on bikes they don't have the skills to handle and crashing them.
AJ Corona here in Australia we have a similar scheme called LAMS (learner approved motorcycle scheme) limiting power:weight to 150kw per tonne and max capacity of 660cc.
The KTM 390, especially a grand cheaper, is a no brainer. As would be a cb500F. Seriously Ducati.
Agreed, but styling wise the CB500 is pretty plain and the Duke 390 is more modern aggressive angles, so looks wise the Sixty2 wins in my opinion (if you like retro style). Whether the extra grand is worth that though depends on the person. If they hold value well in the second hand market, could help things.
AJ....I owned a cb500F recently. It is a great low powered bike that handles like a sport bike but overall it's very bland. Not too exciting. I sold it and bought the new z900. Now there's a bike!
Nice, Z900 is a beastly thing, and there's that new Z900RS coming soon for people who still want that retro vibe. Looks like it actually gets better brakes as well!
AJ Corona I have the z1000 kawasaki they are great bikes
It's a non-bike.
"Another thing that I really like about this bike..." NO
ahahahahah
There is no good time to be an A2 rider. Ever. You were able to get a 125 and after 2 years or so get a proper bike. It's just a scam to get money.
Xerdoz meant to be about safety, but I agree it pretty much is just a pain in the ass. Then again see a lot of bike accidents in the states caused by inexperienced riders jumping on bikes they can't handle and bottling it

oh you poor soy boy no us port , wow end of world hipster end of the world
crap bike, buy a Yamaha xsr900 much better
Which isn't a bike an A2 rider can really use...
