Also, make a million vids with this gem, we all want you destroying some trails.

Went to a Ducati dealer this weekend and saw this bike and was immediately drawn too it... absolutely beautiful machine . Great choice dude.

Welcome to the Ducati family, Papa Yams!! The Scramblers are great “city” bikes for sure, and fun as hell, especially now that they have higher cc engines!!! WARNING: the amount of Dainese gear in your home is about to increase SIGNIFICANTLY!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂👍🏾

Still not a hayabusa god damn it!

Dang papa yam has all the money. Throw a Mt-07 this way papa.

You have opened my eyes to a bike I can see myself buying as a 1st bike. I've always been drawn to Ducati and enduro/adventure bikes and I absolutely love the way this looks.

OMG! I bought my son a Scrambler Icon yesterday with the 7 year warranty yesterday. So kewl! I loved the ride. Even compared to my BMW RT, the Scrambler was pure fun and a great ride. Good choice Mr. Ducatista 😁

I love the fact that the naked bikes are back. The mechanical look is where it's at. A plastic covered bike with a dust covered leaky engine hidden from view is out.

This is my favourite scrambler. One of the few ‘scrambler’ branded bikes that can actually go off road.

I just bought a 2016 scrambler icon I love it with 4k miles for 10 out the door. Also bought a warranty for 3 years. Took me almost 24 hours to turn on the brights haha. I went in bought it. Didnt ride it. Fell in love from the picture. So glad it's not a catfish

No Wayyyyyy. I love the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled!

Internet: Yammie Noob how many bikes will you get? Yammie: yes

Less than a month on my 2019 Sled and oh boy how I relate to everything you said. I didn't even take a test ride before getting this one and so far it has been worth every penny and then some more! Keep 'em content comin'.

But daaaad, it’s not a HAYABUSA!!

You'll slowly start to feel like a ducatista, it consumes you more and more as time goes.

Why don't you buy a turbobusa my friend bought one first bike and had to layerdown in the driveway

I work for euro cycles of tampa and I'm riding our service loaner which is the scrambler icon, we degreed the cams and put the termi on it. It is super fun ,love riding it to and from work every day and weaving through horrible Tampa traffic good choice yamster!!

I loved this vid. Been saving up for the XE because I'm 6'6" & 250lbs but the Sled is so dope! Swiss-army-bikes are the best

I watched the video where you rode your friends Scrambler Icon a few days ago and I was convinced that it was the bike for me. So, I got myself a scrambler icon 2 weeks ago. Now you got a scrambler for yourself. w00t w00t!!!!

Brilliant Gabby Noob! You are an officially an adult now and have purchased my dream bike haha love your series, loyal viewer since your first Triumph... glad you have a bike you can finally ride wfo without getting tickets or unplanned rides to the doctor! Perfect, bike never sell it until they come up with the anti-grav version.... that's the best bike in your collection, hopefully for a long time.

Mr. Noob. Congrats on the sled! I have a monster 797. The Termi pipe with up-map takes it up a few notches. Sound is amazing and worth every-penny...plus keeps your warranty.

Walked into Ducati last year with the intention of buying a Supersport. Took this out, off road, in the mud and damnnnnn. Came back to dealership later in the day with a smile shining out from the muddy face. Sold! "Y'all just have to detail it for me now! "Lmaooo! One of the best bikes I own. BTW, bike is very stable at triple speeds, in the freezing rain. You may consider riding out to Burnett, Llano, and over to Mason. Great stuff out there! Cheers!!!

The road is amazing...even 150cc small bike will be fun to ride.Here in Mizoram..the roads are about 20ft wide...so tight for all vehicles to move.Just google it if your curious.

I’ve been watching your videos for a little over two years while I’ve been working up to being able to get the bike I want on my own. Got myself a 19 Ducati Monster 821 two weeks ago. Glad to be watching papa Yam;)

This is actually pretty cool to see as a review; I was pretty close to buying a new bike but decided to wait till next summer, and I was specifically considering a Scrambler.

Excellent choice, I know exactly what you are talking about. I was riding a Ducati Desert Sled loaner in April on Mallorca (Spain) and I had a blast. Even with the slightly knobbly tires, it felt planted on the street, but it was happy at the same times on sandy back roads with gravel. Also, the fueling of that motor, so good!

Yammie, you done good! Fantastic bike for daily driving. Great Job!!

I have one and have been caught riding in rain storms. The bike does NOT slip in the rain. Tires handle the rain like there is none.

I love the scramblers those are the classic styling bikes of the late 70’s early 80’s but with modern enmities.

Shorties rejoice! I’m 5’6, 155lbs, inseam 29 inches on a good day. Just sat on a sled at the dealer. Can swing a leg over and with my right foot on the brake, left leg is down solid on the balls of my foot. If I scooch a butt cheek off the seat a little I’m flat foot, dirt bike style. With the sag set for my weight I reckon it’ll be a bit easier. Don’t be scared off if your a shorty like me!!

I love that video ended with a guy saying "Dumbest mistake ever". Funny stuff.

So.Much.YES!!🙌🏼 Everything you said is Exactly why I bought the same bike.

Awesome bike! I have a 16’ Scrambler, Urban Enduro. The color scheme spoke to me and I love everything else too.

I have the 2016 Urban Enduro and love it! Great choice man! PS. Glad to see you are up and riding again man, I took several years off after getting hit the second time but couldn't help coming back. Scrambler is perfect for my now more laid back riding style.

Change the front sprocket to 16T if not going off road, so much more relaxed cruising

It is definitely a cool bike. Good for you man. Glad to see you happy riding safe in the streets.

Congratulation on the New Scrambler! This Ducati is a really nice versatile choice for comfortable daily riding.

Oh yeah, 3 views squad *dabs*. Finally enjoying the finer tastes of biscotti Yammie? Wooo

Didnt read the other 392 comments but the rebound damping adjuster is clearly visible in the video you shot and it's likely you have compression damping adjustment on the nitrogen reservoir next to the shock.

Come the dark (neo retro) side yams. We have no back/wrist pains

AKRA, AKRA, AKRA!!!! GET THAT GLORIOUS AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST FOR THAT GLORIOUS SCRAMBLER!!

Good choice. Good power to weight. No radiator so less maintenance. V2’s have character and sound. Truthfully you do not need 100 plus horsepower bikes. Same with these powerful cars where 1st gear is over 100 mph.

as a first time owner I didn't go for an emotional purchase because I wasn't invested to any brand or model. Simply put I purely bought my sv650 because of the spec and THE DEAL given to me by the in-house lender at 0% apr for 6 yrs. Honda and kawi in-house lenders couldn't beat it.

I love your new Duc. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do mine. the 797 engine is amazing after you get past the break in.

For 500k subs buy a little scooter

Pretty dang cool bike man and your right your street bike shouldn’t be based off what performance numbers you get you need a bike that is the most fun to ride safe on public roads

An air cooled engine is very hot in the summer at stop lights. Change the oil more often since it does most of the cooling. They changed the clutch for 2019, because that was the big reliability problem for the previous model.

Man is this a sign? 😂 Crashed my scrambler yesterday. Lowsided and luckily I'm okay! Thank God for the design though. The wide handlebars kept the tank off the ground, the pillion pegs kept the rear up and the only damage was a bent gear lever, scuffed pegs and a snapped clutch lever. Hopefully it will be back on the road tomorrow!

I totally get what you mean about not being able to get the scrambler off your mind. My dad just got one, i rode it and haven't stopped thinking about it since!

That bike just screams "I can drive anywhere, but I would rather avoid the mud if you could help it please!"

Right on Yamms!!! Awesome bike for the street and gravel roads! Fyi it's a "L" twin... Ducatista have been known to slice a mofo with a broken wine glass for less.... Last thing, put a dry clutch on that bad bishh

Love my 2016 Duc Scrambler Classic. Beautiful bike, and women tell me it's "cute". Great 'round town bike, though I have taken it on 1000+ mile trips...but the seat is a little too firm. I've also ridden a lot of Forest Service roads. It does great, though the suspension is a little stiff for washboard roads. My favorite bike!

your 2016 scrambler review made me buy one tomorrow I am going for my collection thanks man for a positive feedback

U better get an exhaust on that girl, can't wait to hear some high quality soundchecks of that sweet vtwin. Awesome choice for personal bike. Congratz

Love the bike! I was recently attracted to it and came across your video Hoping you could make more video with the desert sled Such as modifications etc. Good choice anyway and could see you're enjoying it! Cheers!

Love your choice... sorta. As you say if you love it, get it. You mention not loving other Ducati models. I am exactly opposite. I love pretty much all other Ducati models, this one, not so much. I have dirt bikes, I have street bikes. Dual sports in my opinion are just a compromise that are not excellent at anything. But if you got to, or want to go there then this is a good choice. This is a street bike that will also do well on dirt roads. But it will never experience off-road mud. And to avoid getting mud packed under the fender is why the fender is mounted high on a real dirt bike. Which on this bike will never happen and is just a bogus styling cue. To me it looks stupid and out of place. Just my opinion. You can love it if you like.

Spot on! FUN 👍 oh and btw...you are a ducatista now

Dude that bike looks fucking sick. The color scheme is just pure eye candy

Don't tail tidy it! put a Ducati Scrambler "Classic" big rear fender on it, trust me, it looks awesome. It will look like how it supposed to be. But you have to really enjoy the retro enduro look first.

Big Bend trip on the DS would be a GREAT video!! I've been to BB but on my Multistrada 950. I want to take the DS out there on off road trails. Let's see the videos! Great review! Please post more videos on the Desert Sled. Seriously lacking!

Freaking awesome bike man! So stoked for you, can't wait for more videos!

hi Yammie. your videos helps me a lot especially im new to bikes. I'm hoping in the future that you can review the lower displacement bikes like my CBR150R, or the R15 and GSX150R. these are popular sportbikes that i think are can only be found here in Asia. but having these bikes in your videos will definitely boost your channel and will help a lot more riders all over the world. I trust your videos, tips and judgements. more power and stay cool!

Lime creek rd, good times almost took the vfr out there today. If you ever see a yellow 5th gen vfr doing whoolies giving you a crazy nut bag wave, that would be me.

This bike is on my shortlist. I couldn’t afford much in high school but bought a 78 Yamaha DT400. I loved that bike and this takes me back to that. I just have to break it to my wife that this is happening. Minimum she can give me for a midlife crisis...

8:20 missed the perfect road on your left for this bike

Man I think you've officially changed my mind on this bike, started out with my same old opinion and about half way through my feelings changed, then the walk around did it, I fell in love with the Scrambler. Talk about a change of heart! Not sure I've changed my opinion about the style of a bike so quickly before, nice presentation man, you missed a trick by not starting her up during the walk around though - it would have been nice to hear the engine and exhaust note!

As you describe why you bought this bike, the more I think about why I am waiting for the tenere 700 when it comes to the states.

Great bike! ...every model has riding modes not just the DS, and those LED drls were not new for 19, every scrambler since 15 has them.

Welcome to the World of Ducatisti...!! I own a 2018 Hypermotard SP... my favorite bike I’ve ever ridden... Congrats...!! I also own a Harley & race a KTM.... BUT... my Ducati is my favorite...!!

Watch yammie get a Ducati partnership instead of a triumph partnership 🤣🤣 I wouldn't doubt it considering how much he is praising the beautiful sled

great choice, that bike is amazing, I would love to see you down some double black diamond trails, hitting some jumps and drops and roosting berms. Or maybe even a motocross track. That thing is a beast. I would love to own one. ENJOY!!!

I lived in Austin for 7 years and used to ride LCR all the time! Such a beautiful area and awesome road. I got a 2017 Hypermotard 939 SP about 8 month ago. I always have a blast on it, but it's just so aggressive and fairly stiff and uncomfortable. I'm strongly considering selling it and getting a DS, but a little concerned I'd miss the torque and power of the Hyper. Whatcha think?

I dig it. Going to be fun seeing where it takes you.

My Scrambler (R.I.P.) was a great Swiss Army Bike. Never did anything GREAT (except for maybe styling). But it was absolutely solid in nearly every category.

Welcome! Have a biscotti! Never thought I’d see you go Ducati. I have a feeling you’re moving towards Multistrada. Then you will have finally arrived!

This is on the top list of my next bike and you got it. I feel good about they.

One dude used this bike for his around-the-world trip (with minimal changes - I believe he only installed some engine guards). Sick thing.

Looks like a rebound adjuster on the bottom of the rear shock, I like the new bike. Congrats

I really really really really REALLY REEAAALLLY want this motorcycle. I've been trying to save up for my first bike, but I cannot find a Svartpilen 401 within any reasonable distance of Detroit, so I think I might just have to start on a biscotti Ducati.

Ducati made a killer 450 dirt bike in the early 70s

As soon as you said it had "rider modes" meaning electronics and it being a Ducati makes me think the non rider mode Ducati Scrambler Icon is the better purchase.

Love your choice and review. Might get one myself if priced reasonably.

Yams, have you tried an Indian FTR 1200?

Yammie noob: Bought a scrambler for city commute Street bikes: am I a joke to you?

GOOD choice ! variety is the spice of life.. Enjoy

Yessssssss beatuful bike, I don't know if I like more this bike or the yamaha xrs 900, I just can't decide!

Sick bike bro. Glad you got yourself a new whip 😁

You should take it OFFROAD!(its a scrambler)

thanks for the review, really great

I want to see what some black cycra crm handguards would look like on that bike. And some 1 1/8 protaper bars.

It has a sort of honest and simple mechanic vibe going on, but I dont see how it can justify costing 3000€ more than say a Yamaha XSR700.

great review. love this bike.. will be my first one!

I just purchased the 2018 Desert Sled black edition. The 2019 is great, but the black edition is just so damn cool looking I couldn't pass it up.

Hey man, we really need a scrambling video on the sled - take it on the trail some place and give us the goods - great sound and video

Why didnt you choose a naked like the Kawasaki z900 or any other middle weight nakeds yammiee??🤔

I just really confused myself. I thought I clicked on a fortnine video. But papa yam is nice too

One of the few ducks I like, and the only bike thus far I'd consider vying for in a giveaway. Learn to slide and you'll have a blast on the fireroads with that sled.

I have a 848 and HAD a 996- i love Ducati and the way they perform across the board 100%. I have a question PaPa Yamm- why doesnt Ducati have a dirt bike? Like it would be epic to see a Ducati factory team in the Motorcross championship.🤓😀🧐

I’ve never really liked Ducati’s, but I kinda want one of these now.

I love my 2018 Sled, people comment on the bike all the time. Congrats !
