New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Of course you know this is deliberate, right? Ducati will be selling their "Termignoni high-mount shotgun scrambler exhaust" for a cool $2,200 (w/ECU & air filter, of course)... And will lump it into your payments - for uhhhh convenience! How nice of them...
And I bet they sound glorious $$$! :)By the way those pegs look a bit slippery. Tack on new rearsets too . . . . ;-T
While the engine is sourced from the Monster 796, it doesnt go unfettled into the Scrambler. The 88mm x 66mm bore and stroke remain, but the valve overlap has been reduced to 11 degrees, which helps to smooth the power curve to suit the nature of the bike.In this guise the engine develops 75bhp at 8250rpm, and 50.2lbft of torque at 5750rpm. The engine also gets a single throttle body, which sits inside the airbox with the twin injectors; the only way the traditional teardrop-shaped fuel tank could work with the available space
Someone over at ADV posted some prices for the scrambler - basically very reasonable, except in Mexico! ???Must be a transcription mistake or the wrong currency conversion!
I'll be riding one as soon as my local dealer has them available to try out. I wonder why the red model is $100 cheaper than the yellow?
Interesting that it appears they MAY have detuned the motor somewhat from the Monster version:"In this guise the engine develops 75bhp at 8250rpm, and 50.2lbft of torque at 5750rpm."
Definitely. In the Monster, it is rated at 87bhp @ 8250 RPM, and 58 lbft @ 6250.
If you get one of these, I may have to call you my brothah from another mothah...
Ha! I got dibs on the red Icon w/Termi's :)Nice website with the breakdown of each rendition availablehttp://scramblerducati.com/en
The only reason I hesitated and said "may have" is because the numbers they quote are almost EXACTLY the rear wheel 796 hp and torque figures. Though it seems unlikely that they gave RWHP in the press release.
One thing I did notice on the video was the fishtailing of the bike in the slippery stuff under acceleration. It looks a difficult to control the bike, the rear end wants to pass the front wheel.Would that be due to a front weight bias?
The torque peak RPM is 500 RPM lower than the spec numbers for the Monster 796. RWHP and Crank HP numbers are both crank RPM figures, so, if that was the case, then the torque peak RPM should be 6,250.
This leads me to believe that these are crank figures, and that the engine was tuned for better lower RPM torque (which, usually brings lower high end HP).
