Ducati Scrambler 1100 Sport PRO 2021

The retro flair that works on the "small" Scrambler 800 models is perfected on the Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro: A powerful, high-torque "old school" engine that fits the concept wonderfully, paired with a great Brembo brake system and high-quality Öhlins suspension components. This makes the Scrambler 1100 Sport Pro 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.

What more can be said about the BMW R nineT? Since its release in 2014, it has been a real perennial favourite in the customising scene and also at BMW itself. Its ingredients, however, are of very high quality and explain why the result is so coherent. The boxer engine, full of character, is a real joy every time you pull the throttle and, thanks to the wonderful sound, it never gets boring in the long run. Despite the relatively high weight, the BMW is pleasant to ride thanks to the high-quality chassis and finds a balanced mixture between cruiser and sporty naked bike. The look is of course a matter of taste, but the sales figures suggest that BMW must have done something right. And even if you don't like the standard look, accessories are a dime a dozen.
