I bought both the 800 and 1100 scramblers used for like $15k combined
Really loving both of them but imo I like the 800 more as it's smaller and more agile and I mostly keep all my bikes in 5000+ rpm range all the time, but the extra torque is really great on the 1100

[vinay]

My verdict- buy a used older scrambler- cheaper and better looking; the new ‘aesthetic’ looks plastic…

The 1100 is gorgeous.More torque, kicks in lower. That's what I like. Does it have the same electrical glitches as the 800? A TFT on a scrambler doesn't look right.

Lovely bike, that TFT is a crime though.

Nice the front brake hose finally got rerouted 😊

[joaoroque]

I love the design of the 1100, would it be a stretch for a new rider?

[Vicegoodn]

Motobob looks so different here, who’s his surgeon

[AndoniTejerina]

I'd love a 1100 desert sled with the 2023 upgrades

[michaelgodliman]

Its the belt changes and desmo service cost that puts me off ducatis

[johnglover]

Hello, is the sound of the stock exhaust good enough? I suspect buying two Termis would be expensive.

[bendriscoll]

I already have a Streetfighter V4... I'll take the new 800 since I won't be left wanting for more power. Plus I'm spoiled with quick shifters.

[stevesanelli]

The most smallest disappointing part on the tribute is the Phillips head screw fastening the side covers.🤦‍♂️ Really? Is it at least stainless or zinc plated?

[larrrevenga]

I road both & the 800 is more fun & nimble to ride

[donsmith]

I’ve just sold my 18 plate 1100 a great bike especially on the twistys lower bars fly screen sticky tires, the brakes are amazing I miss it already

[gerryryan]

That tank panel on the 1100 with that stainless x head screw is awful, lovely paint job but my eye would always be drawn to it

[EmmaLundin-vt]

Why not get a Monster 821? Lighter, more powerful and better looking. You are not taking this lump offroad anyway.

[maciejtrybilo]

Scrambler: popular for its simple stripped down vibe.
Ducati: let’s put a stupid butt ugly colour TFT display on it.

I’m on a 2015 Icon 800 and my children will inherit it from me.

[williamrae]

C'mon Honda, a CL1100 with DCT please?

[frankmalone]

Good to see you Tim what's going on with your channel?
