Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Scrambler 1100 2018

What works for the "small" Scrambler 800 models is now perfected for the Scrambler 1100: A powerful, high-torque "old school" engine that fits the concept wonderfully, paired with a great braking system and high-quality chassis components. This makes the Scrambler 1100 extremely comfortable on the one hand, but also very sporty and superior to any cafe racer in tight cornering. The look is also right, the 1100 models were designed with much more attention to detail than the 800s. As expected, the price is therefore much higher.

Powerful and powerful V2 engine with a lot of character

very comfortable seating position

top braking system with cornering ABS

high-quality chassis

easy handling

harmonious transmission gradation

Not cheap

fittings could be easier to read

BMW G 310 GS 2020

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price
