powwow Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not bad, but I think if I were in the market for a Scrambler type bike, it would be the Ducati. I haven't ridden one, but it sure looks good sitting still! Link to comment

FlyingFinn Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think it's a very good looking bike. But I'd have absolutely no use for such "urban play bike". Which is too bad because I really do like the looks... A funny little detail. The "street version" R NineT has spoked wheels, and this scrambler version has cast wheels. Me thinks someone got that design spec backwards Link to comment
Scud Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Not my cup of "T" but certainly cool, and I hope BMW does well with them. Some pics at the original link show spokes, while others show cast wheels. Perhaps this is an option. Retro-styled cafe bikes... then scramblers... where will the trend-setters take us next?

fourteenfour Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Apparently the front end is off the F650 which will let them hold or cut the price a bit. Not sure what else got cheapened Link to comment
