Here we go with another spy shot of the upcoming Ducati Scrambler, seemingly close to the final production version. Now, this picture appears to have been shot in Borgo Panigale, on the premises of Ducati’s testing grounds. However, after some quick checks, it looks like the photo is rather old, dating from around mid-June, pretty much the same period when the spy video of the Scrambler surfaced.
Why this photo did not become more popular remains a mystery. It shows the lines of the new machine pretty well even though the front fender and the brushed aluminium inserts on the tank seem to be missing altogether.
Truth be told, this sight looks a little more appealing than what the sneak peak photo taken at the WDW 2014 showed. The opinions on the upcoming dual-sport Ducati are already separated, with some of the more nostalgic bikers and those hoping for a very affordable Ducati machine being very enthusiastic. However, their exhilaration is not shared throughout the riding community, with a lot of riders bluntly putting it in merciless words: “this is one ugly bike!”
While the beauty if obviously in the eye of the bee(r)holder, Speedweek says that the Scrambler will be powered by the air-cooled mill on f the 796 Monster, and should be really fun to ride. While riding an almost 90 hp scrambler is definitely a cool idea, the street-only wheels in the photo are not exactly what most of us are expecting from a true scrambler, and hope real dual-sport tires are on their way, at least as an option.
The Ducati Scrambler is rumored to make appearance later this fall, most likely at the EICMA 2014 in early November.
