Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled vs Ducati Hypermotard 950 Comparison

The Scrambler Desert Sled is near perfect for someone upgrading from a smaller motorcycle, or for someone who wants to get back into motorcycling after a hiatus, or for someone who wants to begin learning how to ride off-road. The Desert Sled does offer a unique proposition, with retro-cool looks, entertaining performance and decent off-road ability. You can use it for the occasional long ride, and certainly do decent off-road riding on it.

The third-generation Hypermotard takes inspiration, and strengthens its ties with the supermoto racing world, and has aggressive lines, and an "adrenaline fuelled personality," according to Ducati. With dual under-tail silencers, the Hypermotard 950 offers an aggressive and sporty machine with an upright riding position, offering ergonomics derived from the super moto world. Buying the Hypermotard 950 will always be a decision of the heart and not the head.
