It was an eye opener for me.
The first stop on the tour was at a theater for Ducati’s presentation. Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali was happy to report that the Scrambler, with 14,644 worldwide sales, cracked the top 10 of best-selling motorcycles. It slots in behind Yamaha’s FJ-09/MT-09 Tracer in ninth. Aside from BMW’s R1200GS (third), Yamaha’s FZ-07/MT-07 (fourth), and FZ-09/MT-09 (seventh), the other five bikes in the top 10 are all Harley-Davidsons! “Scrambler means the future,” said Domenicali, adding more Scrambler news will be released in February 2016.

Well Duc was #10 which is new. With all those High-Dollar bikes does that mean cost is not a real issue?

That is interesting news!
I am not into "scramblers," but apparently many other riders are! No wonder Moto Guzzi has come out with the V7 II Scrambler (Special) for the hipster, er, US market...

The Scrambler is actually not that expensive, in terms of today's motorcycle market. The big GS is a high dollar king on this list. You'll be hard pressed to get a GS out the door for less than the low $20K range, and that was the third largest selling model.

1st and 2nd were HD's so obviously money is not the issue.
