Yamaha SCR950 2020

The new SCR950 further expands the wide range of "Faster Sons" retro bikes. A visually extremely successful, minimalist bike with beautiful scrambler elements. When riding on asphalt, you only notice that the XV950 cruiser serves as the basis because of the low lean angle. The engine, on the other hand, pulls well and the brakes, each with a 298 disc at the front and rear, make a good effort. Off-road, however, the suspension elements quickly snap due to the high weight of 252 kilos. All in all, an interesting and very finely executed interpretation of a very early scrambler.
Ducati Scrambler Icon 2020
While the many different motorbike genres are becoming increasingly blurred and overlapping, the Ducati Scrambler Icon is indeed the uncomplicated and robust scrambler promised in its name. The wide handlebars make for unbelievably easy handling, so it's easy to forgive the fact that the comfort-oriented chassis has no adjustable fork, while the shock absorber can at least be adjusted in rebound and spring preload. You also forgive the fact that the front single disc needs quite a bit of manual force; after all, it is very commendable that a cornering ABS is fitted as standard. The rest of the equipment, however, is again in keeping with the minimalist style, which is perhaps even a little exaggerated in the case of the (outdated) LCD instruments. All in all, however, the Scrambler Icon convinces above all with its successful appearance, which conveys what it's all about even when stationary: lifestyle instead of riding style!
