Ducati
Scrambler Icon
Ducati's Scrambler Icon puts an approachable 73 hp air-cooled L-twin in the brand's lightest current chassis at 408 lb — the most accessible entry point to Ducati ownership, with cornering ABS and traction control at a sub-$11,000 price. Budget for desmodromic valve service every 15,000 miles as the main ongoing cost distinction from Japanese competitors at the same price.
