Ducati Diavel 1260 vs BMW R nineT Scrambler Comparison

The Diavel 1260 S with its updated engine, new chassis and electronics make for a sporty package with solid performance that will have you grinning from ear to ear every time you whack open the throttle. The relaxed ergonomics of a cruiser, enough firepower to scare you silly, and the riding dynamics of a sportbike. That level of versatility is what makes the new Ducati Diavel 1260 very, very appealing.

The BMW R Nine T Scrambler is BMW's version of a neo-retro scrambler. It has a lovely retro charm and is offered in two variants - R NineT and R NineT Scrambler. The scrambler is the more affordable model. The R NineT uses the air-cooled, 1170 cc boxer twin engine. The engine makes 109 bhp and peak torque of 116 Nm. And while it is a classic model, it still gets all the required modern features. With prices upwards of Rs. 16 lakh, the motorcycle is an expensive proposition.
