Wheels, brakes, er....
Re: Scrambler versus sport
From the pictures they look very similar. Front wheel looks bigger and mudguard. Read somewhere brakes are sliding calliper(to be softer)? Gearing probably lower. State of tune?
Re: Scrambler versus sport
I've had both, Scrambler first now Sport (which was for sale on here but I decided to keep it).
The main difference is riding position, the Scrambler seat is noticeably higher than the Sport and being a shorter gentleman I was on tiptoes with the scrambler. The bars on the scrambler are also slightly higher giving a slightly more comfortable ride at normal speeds. I've found both bikes to be the most comfortable I've owned.
Seat heights from the 2009 brochure:
Scrambler : 840mm
Sport : 800mm
Other differences as others have pointed out, the front wheel on the Scrambler is 19", the Sport 17" and the Scrambler has the 2 piston sliding callipers and the Sport has the 4 piston callipers same as the Corsaro.
The engines are in the same state of tune, again, from the brochure both run 17/40 sprockets, I would be surprised if the primary drive differed between the two.
Oh, and both have 'tubeless' wheels which loose air, solved by fitting inner tubes.
Hope this helps,
Robin

Re: Scrambler versus sport
Some Scramblers came with 17" wheels!
Re: Scrambler versus sport
Is there also an 18" version of those Excel-wheels? I think it would make cornering far more easier than with the 19" I have now... Maybe also the tendency to exit curves when opening the throttle halfway might be less (oversteer?)
