At about 09:05 I mention two more bikes in the range, I talk about the Full Throttle and then go on to completely forget to mention the Nightshift. You can see all three bikes in the written review at www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/bikes/ducati/scrambler-803-2023-review

Top review guys! Loved my 2019 scrambler and regret selling it. Have called my local dealer today and placed an order (lucky to get to be getting one for June due to demand) did on a pcp for the first time and it cost £136 per month for 3 years with a small deposit. Seems like a great deal to me!

Great review, nice to see manufacturers offering several colour choices 👍

All three new 2023 800cc Scrambler models are Quick Shifter Ready. On the Icon and Nightshift it's available as a £237.60 Ducati Accessory. However, the Full Throttle has one as standard equipment included in the £10,995 OTR price. They can be ordered now at M&P Ducati, Cardiff where I work as the Ducati Sales Executive.

Nice thorough review. Also enjoyed the dual presentation chat style. It's a nice bike & I can totally see the appeal but it's rather expensive for what it is & you're definitely paying a heavy premium for the Ducati badge.

Just picked up a nightshift and I absolutely love it. 🥰

I've ordered a full throttle and this is the best review I have seen thanks.

Very nice substantial video and review. Most profound was the man to the right saying the Scrambler brought back his interest and enjoyment of riding a motorcycle.

2015 Full Throttle owner here - it seems like ‘the bike’ is still fundamentally the same in 2023 as it was in 2015 - same engine, same power + torque, same basic frame/suspension/handling, same familiar (customisable) styling - but all the ‘improvements’ are electrical gadgets that the bike probably doesn’t need - TFT dash, phone connectivity and rider modes don’t make ‘the bike’ better - Traction control on a bike with 73bhp? Cornering ABS on a bike with soft suspension and only 1 brake disc up front? The two main issues from the original bike were the seat - which was a torture device, especially for taller riders - and the clutch, which was a very weak mechanical point. You could argue, as Chad rightly does, that the ‘Hipster’ marketing around the bike hasn’t done it any favours in the long run either. Servicing is expensive (compared to other budget bikes) too with a Desmo servicing needed every 7.5k miles and new timing belts every 15k miles or 5 years - these are competent DIY-er jobs or, more realistically, into a dealer or specialist. They were (still are) lovely bikes because of their basic-ness and simplicity, fun character and miles of smiles. It seems all the extra gadgets have taken away from this and inflated the price unnecessarily.

Loved my Ducati 1100 scrambler but hated the repair costs and $400 dollar oil changes. Wasnt sure about the extreamly loud engine rattle when it was hot. Im glad its gone now.

I brought the 2016 Urban Enduro, as much as I loved the style and low seat height- that was a brick ☝️, I got the seat modded , upgraded the suspension and a small dart screen,made a massive difference in comfort. BUT the poor fuel ⛽️ range in Australia ( as I tank range ) just didn’t do it for me . My latest bike is the Moto Guzzi V85tt -upgraded model with the tubeless rims etc . Has for features I love 1. Large tank -500km range 2. All day comfort 3. Shaft drive 4. Cruise control 5. Great TFT layout Fantastic timeless looking bike for going to a coffee shop or touring with some light off road .

That’s a ridiculous price, definitely paying for the Ducati name, I’ve just sold my 18 plate scrambler 1100 I bought as ex demo 500 miles for £9500 and I thought that was expensive, but couldn’t resist its beauty. No regrets as it was a fantastic bike and sounded amazing with a pair of SC project cans, Ducati should sell this 800 with sump guard and radiator guard and quick shifter as standard for around £8500, that’s what i missed on my 1100 so eventually had to buy.

Did you mention ABS? I was curious if you could switch it off for when you were riding on dirt roads.

Ducati are premium bikes for a reason. Stunning bike. Safe, happy travels 👍

Fantastic bike The design/the sound & everything But would you take it scrambling without a worry Me not But l would love to turn up to my Cafe or where ever with that bike ❤

Can you tour on it?

Nice bikes I like it, if it can be olso here in Uganda 🏍️🏍️🏍️

It certainly does look nice.

Great review. But my question is does it still burn your leg like the old ones do?

Hello, great review. Do you guys have any opinion on the Scrambler 1100? Is bigger better or just less agile and fun? Cheers

good to see a much needed up grade on previous one of the worst bikes every made terrible scrambles,tell us about service intervals ?

Very good review, thanks. Hot summer in England this year and I live in a hotter country. What is the Scrambler like on a very hot day in city traffic? Is it a good summer comuter?

With almost 20k usd due to tax in my country, hope Ducati can improve horsepower/torque to. 80hp maybe reasonable with the price

I have heard so many people complain saying they need to take the exhausts off to get the oil out of the oil sump, This is wrong there is an easy to access valve and oil change is easier than most people believe

"The wierd hipster imagery" is literally something that motorcycle journalist have created. I have never seen a hipster ride a motorcycle except for motorcycle festivals.

Vivo en estado unidos y quiero saber si van estar disponibles aquí?

I've got the 2020 icon and was really hoping this new one would be based on the 950 monster engine. As it is I'm not sure it's worth upgrading to the new one?

Hilarious that they can get away with charging Street Triple 765 R money for such a bike!

great retro motorcycle. the only thing missing is a kick starter. the added modern electronics are a plus indeed. still air cooled, a plus. light weight, a plus. the price is higher than should be, but w.e.

Well done review. For my money, I think I would take Hinckley Bonneville or Speed Twin over one of these every day of the week, but I can definitely see someone feeling the complete opposite since styling is so subjective and such a major reason someone buys a bike of this type.

It’s all about the desert sled for me. But it’s no more

Nice to see a no BS answer for would you upgrade from someone who owns an older model. I've got to agree at that price hike vs what you get for it I probably wouldn't either.

cant say i enjoy the silver panels under the tank... black on it looks better.

Of course it's orange.. what would you call the bike in front of you?

Waited until the end a the new guy said he wouldn’t upgrade, and it’s £2k more expensive with no comments that the price was a reason. Both said most of the upgrades aren’t needed, which I agree and the lack of a quickshifter is poor. Ducati tax?

Well to sum it up for the price it isnt worth it but the changes they make from the previous scrambler is definitely an upgrade. For people who does chill ride like the vespas this is for them..otherwise so many bikes better

Who builds Ducati and were are they built?? The only Ducati for me is the 916s.

For that price it should have a quick shifter and cruise control

Nice design but that’s about it. Now with an Over inflated price, still expensive service costs, extremely hot and massive vibration. No one needs riding modes on a 72 hp bike, no cruise as even an option and no quick shifter for all that money. Why anyone thinks these are premium bikes has fallen for the marketing and why people continue to purchase Ducati’s is beyond me. There are a huge amount of competitors out there that have better bikes for the money.

Premium bike...£10,000 Is it made in Italy...or India? Prefer the looks of the old one.

Great bike but still over priced for what it is!

No no no, get a xsr900, this is no Ducati as far as I’m concerned

Just not interested.

Ugly now

It's only for Ducati Fanboy otherwise there are so many option available in market with extra features and with lower MRP🫵🤧
