Help me choose

Which of these two modern cafes would you choose?

I’ve only been riding a little over a year and looking to upgrade from little 250cc. Any suggestions for what I should consider when comparing between the Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe and the Ducati Scrambler 800 Cafe? Both have comparable miles.

Depends, how much money do you wanna spend on services? Personally I feel the Kawi is the better buy.

I 100% agree with this. I used to work at a shop that serviced Ducati. Parts are VERY expensive. Even simple things like oil changes were really expensive, mostly because of the amount of shop time it takes just to remove all the stuff you need to in order to be able to do the job (mostly fairings and stuff which wouldn't really apply to the scram though)
