Ducati Scrambler
They also have a flat tracker version of the bigger model.
Cool.

Worst bike commercial eva. Makes me want to join the jihad. What was the bike that Fonzie jumped the shark with?
Fonzie jumped the shark on water skis.
Normal is an illusion, what is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly.
What commercial ?
Wow, selling a lifestyle at its best. That little shot at 0:26 sums it up, high five and miss....

Why all the hate? Ducati is the only brand I see doing creative marketing and actually attracting new riders to the game. Not to mention the scrambler is a great looking, fun basic motorcycle with a massive aftermarket. The riding gear (though hip) doesn't look like something out of power rangers. They are being copied by nearly every other manu now. Nothing wrong with bringing some stylishness back to motorcycling IMO.
New Yamaha is a hideous attempt to get in on this...
They have a brand new model that looks like the scrambler's ugly brother. 900 something or other.

I like the Yamaha compared to the Ducati.
The original scrambler, sure. Fine. It's hipster, stylish, but has decent numbers to back it up.
Now, take that bike, take half the HP away, put on shittier brakes and suspension and you get to save a WHOPPING $500.
And that is called a MISS, ducati.

The 400 was perhaps a mistake. Should have been a smaller motorcycle. Not an underpowered version of the original.
The Yamaha is butt ugly. It ha zero flow design wise. The modern frame doesn't fit, the tipped back tank? WTF. Also, on this type of bike, a vtwin makes loads more sense to me.
The SR400 is their scrambler

The one your talking about is more comparable specs/performance to a monster... to me, just a new look for the FZ series. I don't mind the look at all, and the hurricane graphics make the tank look less like a 1Gen SV tank!
You can't convince these guys to open their minds, Paul. Ducati only had their most successful sales year EVER last year.
They suck and they're stupid - f Ducati. lol

Open your minds! You don't like a single bike (possibly two) from a manufacturer! FOOLS!

Yeah...I really like the xsr900. If I was going to get a street bike that would be it for sure.

It's good looking, but it ain't no twin.

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.
I wrote to Ducati and suggested a retro bike. In the 60's they had a 450 single and then they simply took two jugs and made a twin. I told them to take half a 900 and make a 450 modern single bike. I even posted about about it here in one of my first posts.
I expect a cafe and naked version of this 400 will be forthcoming. And yes the commercial sucks unless your buying a skateboard.
Maybe they could do a full race bike like KTM has with their RC390 and go head to head in a series. That would be awesome. Maybe I need to write a letter.

I enjoy the fact that it is okay to ridicule Harley for producing and marketing a style over substance product, but when folks do the same to Ducati it is blasphemy.
I don't ridicule Harley either.![]()

I think it'll age a lot better than the rest of the "modern retro's".
I like the mechanical chunky machined look of it. It's a lot better to have this style than something like a new Bonnie with their "hey look I have carbs!" FI throttle bodies.
