Ducati Scrambler Icon 2017

The Ducati Scrambler Icon is certainly not a 'new bike' for 2019 but a successful facelift of a bike that was good from the start. New features include daytime running lights, LED turn signals, new suspension tuning and, most importantly, Bosch cornering ABS. For those who want a simple motorbike that can be used to cover short distances in a very relaxed manner and with a lot of style, the Scrambler Icon is the right choice, because if you let it glide along on the country road in a relaxed manner, with the Ducati you get a very cool all-rounder that is also really fun.

Even though the new V-Strom 1050 has moved up in price to a league in which it has to be compared more with the competition than before, it has remained true to itself despite the most modern safety features, or rather, it has remained an uncomplicated motorbike that is ready for the big journey. Its favourite terrain is the road, which, thanks to the good chassis, can also be bad and bumpy. Off-road passages are no problem either, but those who regularly seek rougher terrain will be less likely to end up with the Suzuki due to its mighty weight. On paved roads, however, the mass can be moved surprisingly quickly and effortlessly. The addictive engine, the successful retro design and the extreme suitability for touring make the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT a top motorbike for long journeys.
