2015 Ducati Scrambler?

Take that bottom Photoshopped photo and replace the low exhaust with a high one, and you have a sweet scrambler. I like it.
I like it - they seem to have honored the history pretty well. In your photoshop exercise I'd put the rear fender/indicators back on. Not a fan of stock seats just left hanging there in the wind with nothing around them. Looks like a 17 year old's cafe racer 
Too bad no high pipes, but I think they were perhaps a) avoiding criticism of copying Triumph's current 'Scrambler' and b) leaving the door open for a $750 accessory

I like it, but I don't understand the passenger pegs on the swing arm. I would think that might be a problem.

Not a fan of the marketing campaign...
but overall I really like it. I might prefer a straighter line from the bottom of the seat through the tank, but this does look more retro.
The reports make it sound like a detuned engine, which sounds crappy. I'm sure there is a reason for it though.
I think it's just an optical illusion from the side view. from the back it looks like the peg supports are separate

the seat and tanklines follow the design of the scrambler single and very closely they do
it was a motorcycle that sold big for ducati

Yeah I like it! Here's a guy talking about it. I had a Ducati single in the 70's one of the coolest bikes I've had. I'm gonna look for one to fix up someday hopefully! But I agree about riding the new scrambler to see how it does! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDIanKN2hcc
Whoever designed it without high pipes and substantial fenders should be kicked in the taint.
Or better yet forced to ride on the dirt roads around here, if the horse/cow/dog shit from the farmers moving cattle between fields doesn't make a point the rocks will.
