moe666 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have been on a car rode trip but while stopped at a PTT station a Ducati Scrambler was parked at the Amazon and a very nice looking bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 ^ think he means financially ,however the ducatis of today are pretty reliable unlike the ones in years gone by.plus if you buy new have warranty so no matter if it breaks. You are joking right a friend's Multistrada spent most of a year in the shop for them to figure out the problem, if you cannot ride it what is the point of a warranty. Italian engineering ride it 10 miles 10 days in the shop 9700 kms trouble free on my 899 so far. Done the lot. Touring up North, track days, Bangkok city riding etc. Couldn't be happier with it.

pbas400 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Seems nice, a bit overpriced https://www.carthrottle.com/post/7-things-i-learned-about-the-ducati-scrambler-sixty2-in-a-wicked-week-of-riding/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokerkid Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Another nice review. For me too it's more fun to drive a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. Especially on the roads here. Edited April 11, 2016 by pokerkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CousinEddie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 They sleeved down the 803cc engine to 400cc? A 400CC scrambler needs to be lightweight, one cylinder & off road suspension. no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no. Obviously not. Thinking these bikes are mainly to look cool, rather than to ride dirt. [but if you are looking for a bike "to storm a French castle"[???] or a "fun, charismatic bike" for only ~$10,000...] Edited April 12, 2016 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian engineering ride it 10 miles 10 days in the shop He is based in Pattaya, right? Problem there is not the bikes, but the mechanics. They have no clue what so ever. Break more than they fix. Even a tire change they messed up. Gave me bike back without working breaks. Started doing service in Bangkok. Not perfect, but miles better. I can finally use my bike. Can't be bothered to tell all of the cockups done by Ducati Pattaya. But believe me, you will not believe me if I told you WB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But believe me, you will not believe me if I told you WB Pattaya mechanics almost destroyed my scooter after just a tire repair! 6 bolts were missing and 2 were cross threaded & stripped. Only one bolt, was holding on the swingarm and it had backed out. Just 2 or 3 threads keeping the rear wheel on! Could've killed me! Muffler bolts stripped, radiator cover missing. and they insisted a 20amp fuse is OK to put into a 10amp slot! Don't let morons near your Ducati.

canthai55 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Same Duck CNX. Million baht Multistrada broke down in Laos, had to truck it to the border, cross and find a Thai pickup, truck it to the dealer. Sensor gone. Took over a month to get - it was the size of a matchbox. Unbelievable. Not the bike for this country, too bad too as I would buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisfeld Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 My Scrambler spent 3.5 months out of the 12 months that I had it waiting for repairs. The mechanics of Ducati Phuket were not able to diagnose and fix a worn out clutch plate and had to wait for a mechanic from BKK to come even though I told them what exactly the problem is because other owners reported this issue on the Scrambler forums! Took all in all about 5 weeks to fix this time. Not only pisses this off customers but Ducati is wasting their own time and money too... Ducati revoked the license of the Phuket dealer and now a new owner is taking over and building a new showroom. Lets see how that goes but it's pretty insane how unreliable the bikes are and on top how bad the mechanics are. From all I heard, the only proper mechanics seem to be in BKK.

papa al Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Reading the above, seems very frustrating owning a duc. for a really expensive, non-reliable/difficult-to-fix bike prolly get a Bavarian motor werk.

papa al Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Would like the Scrambler genre in something like this. .. Screenshot_2015-11-29-22-21-47-1.png UR 400? tires ++. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an SR400 Scrambler conversion that I would buy. I've been tempted to buy a new SR400 and convert to this but the thought of working with the local technicians just puts me off.
