The Ducati Scrambler is a 75bhp 803 cc L-Twin scrambler motorcycle made by Ducati. The Ducati Scrambler was introduced at the 2014 Intermot motorcycle show, US sales beginning in 2015, and is offered in seven configurations: Classic, Urban Enduro, Icon, Sixty2 (399 cc), Flat Track Pro, Full Throttle and Italia Independant.[1]

The Ducati Scrambler was the brand name for a series of single cylinder scrambler motorcycles made by Ducati for the American market from 1962 until 1974, and with the production of the new Ducati Scrambler in 2015.[2] Its creation is attributed to the American Berliner Motor Corporation.[3][4] Models were produced in 250 cc through 450 cc displacements. The 450 variant was sold as the "Jupiter" in the United States.[5]

The first Scramblers (1962~1967) were derived from street-legal models, and featured "narrow case" engines with lightly altered frames. It originally derived from a Ducati Diana road bike converted by Michael Berliner for dirt-track racing in America.[6] These Scrambler models all had a maximum engine capacity of 250cc, and are generally referred to as "narrow case Scrambler(s)"

  • Scrambler OHC 250 (1962-1963)
  • Scrambler 250 (1964-1968)
  • Scrambler 350 (1967-1968)

The second series used a wider engine case. Frames were modified with experience derived from Bruno Spaggiari's Ducati factory racing motorcycles.[7]
