We have a demo scrambler at both stores which are in great demand and sales are through the roof.

Carlos which one would you keep... ???

Raux the tricolore went a couple of years ago and was replaced by the S4rt a model which I'd always wanted as a project for stuff that I'd had in mind but didn't want to try on the tricolore.

Went to my local dealer and basically heard a lot of things I didn't want to hear. Like they are getting their last Scrambler Full Throttle in the next ten days that they're getting for this "model year"  the LAST thing I wanted was to be rushed. so I guess as much as i want a Scramble FT- good things come to those who will wait. And their ballpark trade in value hurt my heart. I'll try my hand at selling my bike locally.

 Having owned a 696 and also looking over a scrambler at Laguna also, I think I would pass on another very low spec bike. I think the scrambler will be the next 696 with many good low mile bikes for sale in the future.

Geoff, I would keep the S4Rt. I love the gray and red color combo, plus the sitting position on the Streefighter is far less comfortable.

+1 If you truly want to be patient, I would wait for the first batch of Scramblers to be resold. It's a low spec bike and people will eventually move up.

... or mod the hell out of it with expensive bling and turn it into something special.  I can certainly see the appeal.

Even if people mod the hell out of it, many will sell them and as we all know, mods don't add sales value.

 Why not modify the 696 into a scrambler?

Looking over the bike but not yet riding one, it seems like an even lower price point bike than the 696, but very similar parts. From what I have read the scrambler is not a money maker like the 696. If Ducati is using the same strategy as the 696, they will use the low priced bike to get new customers to the brand, fully sucked in like crack heads, and release a higher spec bike later to suck more money out of customers like they did to me! 😲
