FCR Original’s modifications on this thing are rather discrete - as they should be on a bike that looks as good as Ducati’s Scrambler.
Just over a couple of weeks ago, we took a look at FCR Original’s spectacular portfolio and drooled over a glorious Ducati SportClassic 1000-based project that goes by the name of ‘La Rage.’ Needless to say, the workshop’s less-is-more approach seems to work wonders, so we’ll be taking a second to analyze yet another sexy piece of machinery brewed under the workshop's roof.
This time around, the donor bike was a 2015 model from Bologna’s beloved Scrambler lineup. In stock guise, it is brought to life by an air-cooled L-twin leviathan that hosts two valves per cylinder head and a colossal displacement of 803cc. At approximately 8,250 rpm, the powerplant is fully capable of producing up to 75 ponies.
On the other hand, a torque output of no less than 50 pound-feet (68 Nm) will be accomplished at 5,750 revs. The mill’s oomph is handed over to the rear wheel by means of a chain final drive, coupled with a six-speed transmission. Ultimately, this whole shebang results in a respectable top speed of 106 mph (170 kph).
The FCR crew crafted this bespoke Scrambler as an entry for Europe’s annual Bike Shed Show. For starters, the French moto masters kicked things off by treating the bike’s standard bodywork to a graceful color scheme that blends a tasty blue base and a selection of black accents found on the gas tank.
Furthermore, the triple clamp was tweaked to bring about a revised riding stance, while the standard dashboard has been discarded to make way for an aluminum alternative that’s been manufactured in-house. Speaking of alloy components, FCR’s pros went as far as fabricating a pair of unique side panels and a fresh radiator shroud to round things out.
In terms of powertrain modifications, the stock exhaust system received a neat muffler from Spark, and we’ll bet it provides a gorgeous soundtrack to go with your ride. Additionally, the Scrambler’s original saddle was replaced by a handsome two-seater counterpart. Last but not least, the finishing touches come in the forms of a Renthal handlebar and Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT tires that’ll provide ample grip.
