I saw this new Ducati Scambler Classic at a dealers recently. A very
cool bike. Slim & neatly styled with the 800cc air cooled V twin engine.
The bike harks back to the single cylinder Scamblers made
between 1964-74 in 125/250/350 & 450cc versions. These bikes were made at
the request of the US importer, the Berliner Motor Corp. They were based on
sports models but with high bars & styling for the American market. Neither
the old or new Scramblers are, eh, scramblers. The new bike is more in the flat
tracker style.

The new Ducati Scrambler has me intrigued.
ReplyDeleteA friend has one on order but it won't be here for a month or so. We'll see how he likes it compared to his Ural and Triumph Tiger.
Power to weight. Ooh.
