I'd pick the Triumph 1200XE, its basically a "naked ADV bike!" The power of the Africa Twin, yet almost similar weight as the V-Strom 650! I see this as a win-win. Yeah the price is a bit steep, but I tend to keep the bike in the long term anyways.
I own the XE and I love it. It is my first bike, so I don't have too much experience. But as a guy who pushes 6'4", its super confortable, that I really didnt get with a lot of the smaller bikes, because the XE is a tall boy. The engine is super strong and the bike lives in the low revs and enjoys being pushed high. Quick, torquey and all around a blast. As it is a naked bike with less fairings, it does get a bit windy on longer travels, but Im getting used to it and will go on longer trips in the future. The bike all around feels like a tool and looks like a show bike.
@@kristofferrummelhoff2403 The detachable windscreen from Madstand would fix that long distance issues on the bike. And it can be easily be detached for city use. Or the Unit Garage "Dual Scrambler Kit" would turn the 12XE into a low-key retro ADV bike! I NEED this bike!!!
Great video as usual!👍🏻 I got a call from a dealership with a Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro (someone ordered it and then changed their mind) so I immediately put down a deposit! Driving to pick it up first thing this weekend. Can’t wait to get out on it! Gorgeous paint and graphics plus quite a spirited engine!😁😎
The Ducati (urban enduro model) was going to be my next bike but then I sat on an Indian FTR and loved the balance of the lower center of gravity. I still need to test ride both to solidify my decision but I'm now leaning more towards the FTR
I'd be riding a Triumph Scrambler XE, an Indian FTR Rally and the Fantic Cabellero before I bought any of them. There are some super cool bikes in the category for sure!
Vfm and a weekend toy the RE for me yes it has its limitations but not everyone has the money or abilities for some of the more dare I say prestigious brands and as with all things,and I do enjoy your videos, it's one person's preference.
I think the Indian FTR is one of the best looking bikes across all categories. As a Brit it makes me wince a little that the Yanks have Knocked it clear out the park. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video as per, looking forward to your FTR content.
i thought Triump bike are not that good looking since theyre pretty rare on my country and now Triump are ramping its PR, oh boy i was so wrong seeing it in person specially the Scrambler 1200 XC in matte khaki green and the new Tripple speed 1200 RR on red color with carbon fibers theyre pretty gorgeous. those bike are definitely on my list.
Most likely I'd opt for a Beemer having owned an R80GS and R100GS. Shaft drive, low engine eight, bags of low down, mid range power. Blue Ducati looks interesting.
The Fantic is far and away the best looking of the lot and the power/weight ratio is just right for the genre .. pity its a little overpriced and the reliability might be questionable . My last bike was a Street Scrambler and its a brilliant " better than sum of its parts " bike , BUT the weight! ..why can't Triumph build a lighter version ? if they produced a 500 / 600 single with 50 - 60 bhp and loose 40 Kg it would be a sensation ! BTW , the BMW boxer engine has no place in any motorcycle called a scrambler !
How reliable are they I am very keen on a desert sled and ride daily all year around so wondering if it’s a wise move from my Africa twin or just a list thing
Dude, don't embarrass us here bro. There is a place for everything. Do you think that scrawny-looking ugly bike can stand with Ducati, Triumph, and BMW? Let Hero make a better bike with a heavier engine and more power.
The only thing I'd say about the Ducati is the maintenance cost adds up real damn quick, in the long run it costs more than the Triumph if you take time into account. Still wish it hadn't gotten stolen though!
Sure! I own one. I think it should have been on the list as it is a bit scramblery. It's way cheaper than the Caballero (which looks fantastic nonetheless) and way more powerfull than the Royal Enfield for about the same price :)
Had the top of the line Ducati Scrambler 1200 (2019) and loved it until piston slap raised it's ugly head. So vibey that I couldn't ride it longer than 45 minutes until my hand and butt were so numb that I had to get off of it.( terrible throttle twist resistance as well). It made the Kawasaki Concourse vibe feel like a massage. It vibrated that bad. If Ducati ever solves that problem and for the love of God, adds cruise control i would purchase another one. It's a shame because it really was a hoot of a bike to ride. Btw-best stock exhaust of any bike I ever rode.
i find it very funny that in India, you can get the Scram 411 for 2800 Great British Pounds 😂 in Britain, even for 4600 pounds, you all call it amazing... in India, its dirt cheap
What other options are available for the trail riding and scrambler looks of the Caballero? I live in Canada and can't seem to locate any Fantic dealerships close to me at all.
Maybe you should have mentioned the Triumph Scrambler and not the Triumph 'Street' Scrambler. Mine's got 1200cc and is able to handle the dirt just fine.
Love the look of the Scrambler 900 but worry it'll cook my right inner thigh. We all know its business... but that Indian is not looking like a scrambler.
all these scramblers on your list get pretty expensive after no,.9, would you take a BMW, Indian, triumph off road...? it might get dirty or scratched... I'd buy the cheapest, upgrade the tyres, and ride it like i stole it....

jesus they are expensive, silimilar on amazon for £20
I got the Caballero Scrambler and the Triumph Street Scrambler 900, being on the short side they both suit me fine
i'd go with ducati scrambler nightshift. looks really really cool.
The Triumph probably has longer maintenance intervals. And knowing Ducati, well, you'll probably recover the price difference after a few services.
I'd pick the Triumph 1200XE, its basically a "naked ADV bike!"
The power of the Africa Twin, yet almost similar weight as the V-Strom 650! I see this as a win-win.

I NEED this bike!!!
Ducati Desert Sled as my first option
You forgot to include the Moto Morini Scrambler. That would be top of the food chain in this list with an incredible engine!
the 411 Scram is the one l will heavily looking into a new rider...
Great video as usual!👍🏻
I got a call from a dealership with a Ducati Scrambler 1100 Tribute Pro (someone ordered it and then changed their mind) so I immediately put down a deposit! Driving to pick it up first thing this weekend. Can’t wait to get out on it! Gorgeous paint and graphics plus quite a spirited engine!😁😎
your gain by someone loss..
For the Ducati, I’d choose the Nightshift
Same I'll start doing Night Shifts too I need that bike 🤧
Desert Sled for me.
After having owned a Bonneville for the last 6 years I would go with the Street Scrambler.
Great videos
The Ducati (urban enduro model) was going to be my next bike but then I sat on an Indian FTR and loved the balance of the lower center of gravity. I still need to test ride both to solidify my decision but I'm now leaning more towards the FTR
Riding the Urban Motard next week - really looking forward to it :)
We can't get the Caballero here in Canada but if we could I would own one! Probably better at actual scrambling than any other bike on the list too.
Being a Triumph fan I lean toward the 1200XC if I were to buy a scrambler, but my neighbor let me ride his Desert Sled and that bike was hella fun!
That Desert Sled is 🔥🔥🔥
Caballero hands down
Desert sled or the triumph 1200xe scrambler if
I already have picked up scrambler steve mcqueen last year. It's a heck of a bike.
It would be the Fantic for me 👍
I'd be riding a Triumph Scrambler XE, an Indian FTR Rally and the Fantic Cabellero before I bought any of them. There are some super cool bikes in the category for sure!
The Caballero is beautiful!!!
Vfm and a weekend toy the RE for me yes it has its limitations but not everyone has the money or abilities for some of the more dare I say prestigious brands and as with all things,and I do enjoy your videos, it's one person's preference.
For me its either the fantic cabellero 500 explorer or ducati desert sled
Who makes cabellero?
I think the Indian FTR is one of the best looking bikes across all categories. As a Brit it makes me wince a little that the Yanks have Knocked it clear out the park. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video as per, looking forward to your FTR content.
It's going to come down to the Triumphs for me. Not sure which model so that's likely a game time decision but Triumph for sure.
what about cfmoto clx700 heritage scrambler. superior to ducati 800
For all the Indian friends, there's Yezdi 350 Scrambler and Hero Xpulse too 😋
Hey hey where is the Benelli Leoncino 800 trail? Have you seen it yet? Quality/Price 👌🏻 Great video, really like your channel, love from Portugal
🤔???
I’d choose the Street Scrambler 🤔 oh no wait I own one already 😂 great video Rob as always👍
As a speed twin owner I would stick to the retro styling of triumph
i thought Triump bike are not that good looking since theyre pretty rare on my country and now Triump are ramping its PR, oh boy i was so wrong seeing it in person specially the Scrambler 1200 XC in matte khaki green and the new Tripple speed 1200 RR on red color with carbon fibers theyre pretty gorgeous. those bike are definitely on my list.
I got the Urban Enduro and would not change it for any other, however if I would have to choose today I think Indian would win against Ducati :)
Most likely I'd opt for a Beemer having owned an R80GS and R100GS. Shaft drive, low engine eight, bags of low down, mid range power. Blue Ducati looks interesting.
Ducati costs a heap more to service/repair therefore triumph in the long run works out cheaper ✌🏽
I currently ride a STriple 675 but that Indian FTR keeps catching my eye. I just don't know if it'll be a trade or an add🤔
I choose the 22 Urban Motard from Ducati with an all black paint job and some Perelli MT60’s.
Great selection👌🏼
Which one would you go for with your own money?
How abt nightshift frm ducati
The Fantic is far and away the best looking of the lot and the power/weight ratio is just right for the genre
.. pity its a little overpriced and the reliability might be questionable . My last bike was a Street Scrambler
and its a brilliant " better than sum of its parts " bike , BUT the weight! ..why can't Triumph build a lighter version ?
if they produced a 500 / 600 single with 50 - 60 bhp and loose 40 Kg it would be a sensation ! BTW , the BMW
boxer engine has no place in any motorcycle called a scrambler !
Is a 2023 updated list coming?
Triump 900 is the best “all arounder”, that low end torque is fantastic
Which ones are best for someone who is 6'3"?
Own the Desert Sled Fasthouse and love it! If I didn’t have the sled I’d probably go with the 1200 Triumph Scrambler.
How reliable are they I am very keen on a desert sled and ride daily all year around so wondering if it’s a wise move from my Africa twin or just a list thing
Good day. Which one do you prepare. FTR or R nine T.
I'd go for the Fantic Caballero; most of the others are all too big, and too powerful to be a true Scrambler......
I am loyal to my Sandstorm, so I pick the Triumph of course, both 900 and 1200😅
Got the r9t gs… true classic with some capabilities
Nice one Bob !
I bet Ford are pleased that Indian bought up their old stock of Mk2 Escort fuel caps 😀
Ducati Desert Sled for the win in my opinion!
Ducati Icon for me........Sal : )
Although these are really nice bikes, I've gota go with the new Honda 500 Scrambler!
You should check out the Hero Xpulse. Just a 200cc 4V. Ideal for our Indian friends here.
Xpulse is not a scrambler bike
Dude, don't embarrass us here bro. There is a place for everything. Do you think that scrawny-looking ugly bike can stand with Ducati, Triumph, and BMW? Let Hero make a better bike with a heavier engine and more power.
I ordered a Ducati Icon a couple weeks ago, looking forward to riding it.
Fantic caballero is best of all cos for the price what you get is more than what is required by most.
The only thing I'd say about the Ducati is the maintenance cost adds up real damn quick, in the long run it costs more than the Triumph if you take time into account. Still wish it hadn't gotten stolen though!
I picked the XSR700 XTribute you forgotten to add
Desert Sled all day long.
But the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 is an amazing bike with all top kit but at a crazy cheap price tag.
Sure! I own one. I think it should have been on the list as it is a bit scramblery. It's way cheaper than the Caballero (which looks fantastic nonetheless) and way more powerfull than the Royal Enfield for about the same price :)
Benelli Leoncino 800 Trail would be my choice. Urban G/S if I wanted to spend more money.
lookswise yes, since it's chinese owned, NOPE.
@@its_EZ I get that bit.
If I had the money to spare, I’d go with the FTR Rally, Triumph XE, Desert Sled. In that order.
I I'm going to get the Triumph 1200 XC or XE not sure just yet...I'll need to ride them first.
Thank you! 😊
XSR700?
Had the top of the line Ducati Scrambler 1200 (2019) and loved it until piston slap raised it's ugly head.

How about the Husqvarna 401 Svartpilen ?
My own money got spent on the Benelli Leoncino Trail 500. Note I also have a Vstrom1000
Check out yezdi scrambler too.
Desert Sled just on the looks 👍
i find it very funny that in India, you can get the Scram 411 for 2800 Great British Pounds 😂
in Britain, even for 4600 pounds, you all call it amazing... in India, its dirt cheap
What about yezdi scrambler
Bonsoir, et la Benelli Leoncino 800 trail elle est dans la catégorie, pourquoi pas en parler ?
Team Titanium - Matte Black 🙌
I would just go with a Honda Monkey and have as much (or more) fun and save some money 😉👍🏍️🇳🇴
We have our great return Jawa Yezdi's scrambler
Indian or Ducati even though I prefer Bonneville as a street bike
Street scrambler or desert sled
Scrambler, aka the best hipster bike to buy.
Sorry, Fantic Caballero all day long....there's a few of us in the Algarve mountains with them, and we wouldn't swap them. Desert Sled excepted.
Bob great stuff, but it is Caballero not Cabayero ..even in Italian it is Caballero, with the LL's like in Love and lust.
Triumph should produce a 900 twin version of the Scrambler 1200XC/XE.
Fantic for me!
Can you make video on bmw g310rr
Bluroc hero 250 is worth a look, looks fantastic, more power than the scram for same price.
R nine T hands down
Fantic 🤤🔥🔥🔥
What other options are available for the trail riding and scrambler looks of the Caballero? I live in Canada and can't seem to locate any Fantic dealerships close to me at all.
Ducati desert sled and triumph 1200 xe
1200XE.
Y there is no yezdi scrambler
RE bikes are half the price in india than in uk...imagine if re 650 was being sold for 4000 in uk...
You got to add the costs of operations in other countries too like UK will have extra costs to be paid in pounds.
@@ROHIT690THAKUR yes offcourse but still imagine if...
What About Yezdi Scrambler!!
Please try Yezdi scrambler 🙁
why are there no comments here
There is now !
Nice bikes but I still want a Honda Monkey.
Still no love for Leoncino Trail 500 or the new 800? Biased.
Scram 411
850 Motoguzzi
CL500
Maybe you should have mentioned the Triumph Scrambler and not the Triumph 'Street' Scrambler. Mine's got 1200cc and is able to handle the dirt just fine.
