Yep especially the bottom picture which is the “Street Scrambler” version. Looks big and heavy. Not exactly what I’d call a scrambler. Yamaha and Ducati did it right in my opinion.

They're strange beasts, brilliantly marketed. I've not ridden any of the new watercooled models but I hated the previous generation. Top heavy, under-braked and under-powered. The engines sound good but have a very flat and featureless torque curve. Weird, given they're perceived to be 'character' bikes. They remind me of a honda superdream on steroids.

They look good in the flesh imo. Definitely a modern bike though. Plus everyone has been going on for years about the 900 twin being underpowered.

I'm obviously bias, but again I think it's on point. The Yamaha looks great but I struggle to get excited about The Ducati. TBH the whole scrambler thing is a bit pointless start to finish.
At least an adventure tourer is suited to it's task, even if there only driven to the City and back with all the accessories. Even bobbers are shamelessly style centric. Whereas the "scrambler" style is 100% marketing over substance.
This is what I think of...

Reminds me of the late 70s Bonnevilles and not in a good way. They were never small bikes but the new ones are so fat and bloated.
