A nod to customized vintage iron but with modern efficiency and reliability, Jason Chinnock, CEO of Ducati North America, brought the latest version of Ducati’s Scrambler motorcycle – the Scrambler Café Racer – to the Jay Leno Garage. Then Leno throws his leg over it for a new Ducati experience and a few first ride comments.

Deserving a Harley badge…
The Ducati Scrambler and the Triumph Bobber are stealing sales from Harley here and in Europe.
No doubt the market for mid sized Scramblers and Bobbers is growing while heavy weight cruisers is falling. But the biggest difference I’ve seen with my own eyes on the streets? Throngs of young men having a ball on their Honda Grom’s. That’s the bike bringing young people into motorcycling.
Only HD knows how to market basically the same bike as a new one better than Ducati does. Different market, same game.
I’ve liked all the Scrambler variations from Ducati so far, but this one doesn’t really do anything for me. I might just be getting bored of the whole retro thing too.lol
What I want to know is how can you have a cafe racer and a scrambler at the same time with the same bike?
cool!
I wonder if the fuel tanks will expand and spread (when they reacted to ethanol in the fuel) like the prior cafe racer bikes Ducati made in the 05 – 08 time frame. That was fun for everyone who bought one. Especially when Ducati never corrected the issue.
I really dig the Scramblers looks, I need to get out and ride one. It looks like it would be a fun 2nd or 3rd bike when you want to do some not too serious pavement/gravel riding and go explore. The Triumph Bobber looks a little bit like they tried too hard. The Ducati looks great.
