@@matviyk3066 My dirtbike has a much higher power to weight ratio so I would prefer the Streetfighter. I love the look of this scrambler but it's a freakin dog.
@@peaceprayer595 Makes 75 HP and is light, it's supposed to be just a fun bike not a SuperSport lol plus people who whine something doesn't have power typically can't ride anything but a straight line. Scrambler will tear up some corners.
That high five into handhold was just beautiful! I could genuinely see myself on that bike, it's gorgeous!! I will never get sick of those rolling shots they are bloody amazing!!
Ducati Spacers fixes the mechanical throttle slop in the electric throttle tubes Ducati uses that Chase experienced around @7:29. They have to manufacture it in there, and it’s horrible feeling on some of their bikes. Easy mod, easy install, huge improvement.
What a beauty! Love those colors, the blue saddle, that sound, that electric blue frame. I guess I'd personally like the clocks to be analogue on such a bike, but other than that, the whole package is beautiful.
Dayummmm. I'm also not personally a fan of blue on bikes but I would still rock that bike. You're absolutely right, this is one of those bikes that you really wouldn't have to do anything to it. It's pretty much perfect from the factory in terms of looks. It's like the XSR700 from Yamaha with all the aftermarket stuff that you wanna do it, but Ducati does it for you and charges you a bit more for it. And you lose a tad bit of reliability for the aircooled Ducati goodness. It's a tough choice between the two
Hello from 2024! Thanks 🙏 Chase for a great 1st ride of the Ducati Scrambler 🇮🇹👍 I am a scrambler owner myself (Moto Morini) and love everything about it. It’s a 650 and I know one day I will level up. You have sold me on my next bike….a Ducati Scrambler for sure 👍
Just thought I'd comment to say that this review ultimately helped me decide to hit the button and buy this bike about a year ago. Love this bike. This is a spot on review.
Couple of things. First, it's not a bike for tootling along traffic heavy straight, town roads or highways. It's for twisty, country B roads, and secondly I can assure you that when you ride it properly, there is very good and very useful engine braking in virtually *every* gear, so much so that I find my country road trips roughly 50 - 50 engine braking/brakes for corners.
I like how you switch to third person according to the road condition of the first person footage to achieve continuity. Lots of thoughts behind production!
2014 Triumph street triple Thats another bike that you don't have to be going fast to have a GIANT smile on your face! NOt a huge fan of cafe racers in general but this one is pretty good looking one. OC
I think it’s a great bike - I bought the icon and am using accessories to take it in the cafe direction as I will add Carbon, shock, fork kit, wheels etc. buying a low mile second hand bike gives you a budget to start with, and because I will upgrade so much, I don’t need to start with the expensive model. Excellent review
Think that throttle slack is built in to stop newer riders accidentally popping 1st gear wheelies, I think a spacer kit is available for the throttle to tighten up initial response
AW HELL NAH..throttle slack is dangerous AF, you go to twist it and instead of a smooth and predictable power delivery you get a twitchy response, also you can never take off your hand from the handlebar because you'll need to find the point where the gas opens every time you do that. The only slack you need is to prevent the bike to accelerate in a full steer lock, you just need a couple of millimeters of play (and this also applies to the clutch cable).
FRB Freeridebeans I agree, borrow a nice car, wear nice clothes and make them believe you got the means to buy it. Most will ask if you want a spin, at least in my area or experiences.
Even though im not into the scrambler model, the blue color scheme is awesome, would love it if ducati put this scheme on other models like the monster or panigale.
Well I looked around and no can find a playlist whose title indicated it was a continuation of this comparison. Please stop being cool and simply supply links in THIS video. besides this I really enjoyed your review method. One of the best. Unfortunately I could NOT find your review of the Scramble model I was interested in. I might would have subscribed.
I have a ducati cafe racer 2018 which is matt black instead of silver but still has the blue chassis... and it looks even better (at least in my opinion😁)
Try the nightshift next man it has straight low lean forward handlebars not raised like the icon, nor clipons like this one. The Nightshift will blow you away man! I HATE the clipons on my cafe racer they reduce turning angle and cause tank slappers. Prefer nightshift or icon style handlebars. Much more control on the windy turns, and less danger of the death wobble (Ducati scramblers do that if you hit the throttle too fast). I own one of each so i have experience to opinionate a bit
I currently own a Grom but just purchased Cafe Racer and shipping it here. I love the way it look but not a fan of blue color and it’s the only reason I holding back till now. I prefer red/black combo like my cars and Grom
Nice video :) you’re looking good on it :p and I agree, it is indeed the best looking of the new scrambler line. Got mine last year and it is my “only bike” :) I just changed the blue sattle into a black one with blue stitches. Ok...and I got not the Core but Ruroc’s Ultramarine which fits perfect to the blue color of the bike xD xD save ride & best wishes from Germany
Different position, the Monster is more upright. Spoked wheels instead of cast aluminum on the 797. Monster is a bit lighter. Honestly if you're looking for a cafe racer, buy the Scrambler Cafe. But if you're looking for an air cooled Monster... don't buy the 797. It's a parts bin bike. Buy the Monster 796 from a few years ago. More horsepower, lighter, better brakes, single sided swingarm, under-seat exhaust, etc.
@@CBRboy1717 I'm not too worried on the parts bin thing since monsters were always like that and the lower power and longer desmo intervals make it more enticing for a beginner
Aesthetically: don't like the single side exhaust, the number plate, the blue seat, the spoke wheels, the tiny front fender, the rear fender thingie, the blue seat, and the offset instrument pod. Performance-wise, it sounds great. Brakes I've found can be highly variable from bike to bike even of the same model. Let's assume you could bed them in properly, bleed the lines, or if necessary replace pad material and change the lines to stainless steel. And the throttle free play is fairly easy to fix. Like the sound and the riding position. Practically, though, an air-cooled engine in Texas in the summer in traffic is a pretty bad idea. -------------------------- As far as clip-ons vs. handlebar... I sat on a used Z1000 (2016 I think) yesterday with a Pro Taper bar that was lower than the clip-ons on the Ninja 650. I do prefer a more aggressive pitch, just not Ducati superbike-level committed. Something like the VFR, or the 2005-2008 ZZR600.
I have a 2019 cafe racer that I’ve customized. A lot of the aesthetic things can be corrected. My bike is full gloss carbon now and the tank is matte carbon. A luimoto seat cover in black, tail tidy, and slip on does the trick. I swapped the headers and went full akro with a titanium slip on to match. The blue that burns in on the pipes look sexy with the blue frame. Also sounds beefy haha
That outside car cam is so great compared to all the other POV reviews.
IMO that's one of the best looking stock bikes out there.
I agree and absolutely love the looks. But that thing is powered by squirrels running on rubber bands inside the motor. My 234 pound 450cc dirt bike makes only 9 less hp than that scrambler. Its way overpriced for what you get imho.

I like that this bike has the cables around the handlebars routed out of sight
Also, this is the best review yet of the Scrambler Cafe Racer (post-2019 refresh). Lots of third-person perspective b-roll of him riding. Really nice.

Got this bike in Jan 2020
I have a 2017 Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer. Before all those electoric upgrades
What a beauty! Love those colors, the blue saddle, that sound, that electric blue frame. I guess I'd personally like the clocks to be analogue on such a bike, but other than that, the whole package is beautiful.
Congrats on a million! I like when people local to me crush it on RUclips!
I bought the 2019 Cafe Racer as my first bike and absolutely love it. Great Video!!! Thank you for making really transparent bike reviews.
Beautiful bike and first ride. Love this model. Sadly, only one front brake disc, that's why the lack of grabe 😓

Come on Chase. How hard would it be to adjust the throttle cable and levers before you ride the darn thing?
This vs the vitpilen, I can't really choose one or the other tbh
Think that throttle slack is built in to stop newer riders accidentally popping 1st gear wheelies, I think a spacer kit is available for the throttle to tighten up initial response

@@RoadUser_Motovlog I ride a scrambler and don't have any of those problems
I Love The Third Person Shot ...
Its like you're reading my mind Chase. Been thinking of which one to pick!
Chase: This thing against my leg is hot
Me singing: chase’s nuts roasting on an open fire... 😂🤣
OMG I AM IN LOVE!!!! My colors just need to chang that 54 to a 79
So interested in one of these in black/gold
Best retro styled naked bike 🤩💯❤️.
I totally have these rev-it carbon gloves
That bike is just beautiful I like it after the MV Agusta rush ❤❤
I’m trying so hard to get test rides but with this COVID 19 it’s getting hard. Great bike keep up the great content 👍
You trying to buy or just ride? They may not take you seriously. If they see a sell, they’ll usually let you ride.
Gorilla Moto true but I was just trying to be honest we are only a small channel and they just ain’t interested. But everyone has to start somewhere 👍
Riders Share my friend, rent someone’s bike and review it!
Wolberstyle yeah been offered a few people tbh I might just take them up on it 👍
FRB Freeridebeans I agree, borrow a nice car, wear nice clothes and make them believe you got the means to buy it. Most will ask if you want a spin, at least in my area or experiences.

I love my Scrambler Icon to bits! 800cc is the goldilocks bike for these Scramblers. A true candidate for "if you're only gonna have one bike".
Hey bro i got one too. What type of fuel do use for it. Im very conflicted with the user manual and what the dealership said
@@shutatataa I use fuel with 95 RON/octane or higher only. Anything lower and it may cause engine lag or knocking in the worse case.
I have a ducati cafe racer 2018 which is matt black instead of silver but still has the blue chassis... and it looks even better (at least in my opinion😁)
My cousin has this bike and that is what I learned on
everything but shocks man! its a shame ducati did not put adjustable shocks, you can upgrade though with Öhlins at your own expense 🤪
The white/ red combo of the desert sled would look so much better on the Cafe Racer.
Neat bike. I’d seriously consider it if I were in the market for a bike

Would rev matching a bit more when going into 1st prevent someof that engine braking?
Nice job mate. I wasn't sold, but you may have convinced me! I've always loved the look, but an 800!? Still it certainly is an AWSOME bike! 👍🏼👌🏼
The way Ducati appears to be going with the 2021 Monster (no more trellis frame) this Scrambler Cafe Racer is more Monster than the Monster.
This is not a monster.
This is something else, unique and much more beautiful in my opinion.
Looks like a good competitor for the SV650X
Did you change up to 6th gear, I have a 2018 Cafe Racer, love it so much.
Great video 😄👍🏼
Prefer clip ons looks wise, but handlebars are more comfy!
Think this is the best looking one
How did the riding position feel compared the Monster 797?
great review very detailed (y)
what helmet is that ??
looks sick!
I quite like the swingarm thing too, banana tails look wak
I like the color
Chase, please redo the Drz400sm first ride
What do you prefer this scrambler cafe racer or the speed twin 1200?
can you test drive a ducati scrambler dark icon? Thanks man
I guess this version is the one that feels closest to the original 750SS this bike is based on.
How does this bike do in traffic during summer?
Since it's air cooled, i would think it doesn't do very well in traffic ?
Hey chase! Any chance you could review a Royal Enfield Himalayan? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Does the exhaust have to be removed to change the oil?
Wow. A bike review showing the bike travelling in a straight line for the entire 30 minutes. 😂😂🤔🤔
Now you need to find the night shift version and give it a go!
This is sick
I think you should call the right hand turn "Smooth sailing" 😃
I really want to get this one for my first bike but idk. Is ducati really that bad as they say regarding maintenance?
What about the Icon? No first ride with that variant?
Think I’m going for the cafe as a second Bike (well second to the Grom).
I currently own a Grom but just purchased Cafe Racer and shipping it here. I love the way it look but not a fan of blue color and it’s the only reason I holding back till now. I prefer red/black combo like my cars and Grom
When are you gonna ride a triumph thruxton r
is the seat of this cafe racer slimmer compared to the other scrambler in terms of width ?

Hay chase you should call that turn that you talk about in your videos, name it (first ride) we're coming up on first ride turn.
They dont have blinkers on Ducati's? ;)

Interesting to see a blue Ducati... they’re usually red lol this is a nice change
Yes..i agree.I love this bike and this color makes the bike beautiful and unique.
Brakes on a new bike always feel weak until bedded properly.
