SalMaglie,
I wasn't actually thinking of the current on-off offerings but was contemplating a trend similar to that of the supermotards (in terms of niche). Specifically that these scramblers would also be play-bikes but with off-road capabilities (some).
Expect the Honda "Rabbit"
Scrambler (using the Dominator 650cc or Transalp 650 twin engine) in 2-3 years.

The only one missing from offering a bike of this kind is Kawasaki, but they had one in Europe that used Suzuki's DL100 motor before dropping it.
Unless you've picked up on something, it is currently on the market now (for the last 2 years, perhaps more) - it is called the Kawasaki KLV 1000 and is identical to the Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom (in fact they have a collaboration agreement [Suzuki-Kawasaki] on this model). There are very minor differences (only visible from close up) other than the color schemes (one of which is orange and black).

These are all 2wd SUVs of the motorcycle kind.
Good description!
