The Ducati Scrambler will make an appearance at CPOP for the first time The Ducati Manchester stand will feature a number of Scrambler icons and the “DMC Eccythump Scrambler” special Ducati Scrambler clothing will be on sale The Ducati Scrambler brand will be making its debut appearance at the eighth staging of the Cholmondeley Pagent of Power which will celebrate ‘power’ on land, air and water. Regional Ducati Scrambler dealer, Ducati Manchester will be bringing along its ‘Land of Joy’ – the term used for the world of the Ducati Scrambler that describes freedom of expression, fun and sharing of positive emotion. The ‘Land of Joy’ will incorporate a display of a number of Ducati Scrambler Icons and also a special customised bike showing the workshop skills of the dealer. The special is called the “DMC Eccythump Scrambler” and has been built using 1950's / 60's Superleggera coach building techniques and in partnership with builder Paul Eccleshare. The Ducati Scrambler has been a huge success since its launch thanks to its post-heritage design and its focus on the pure essence of motorcycling: two wheels, wide handlebars, a straightforward engine and endless fun. The bike inspired by the iconic 70’s model now features a 75hp oil cooled L-twin two-valve 803 cc engine housed in a trellis frame. The bike has Kayaba suspension and Brembo powered ABS brakes which are featured across all four versions of the Scrambler – Icon, Classic, Full Throttle and Urban Enduro. As part of the Ducati Scrambler display there will also be Ducati Scrambler clothing for sale and sales staff on hand to discuss the bikes in detail. Also at the event, the world’s only flying Vulcan will be taking to the skies above for its last ever Cheshire flight, with the Red Bull Matadors entertaining the crowd with an aerobatic display. The above, combined with camping, live music from Tenors of Rock and the RPJ Band and hundreds of exciting trade stands, will make CPOP the family-friendly motorsport event of the summer.

As thread titles go, that one sounds just a tad camp... Mind you, so does anything with 'Ducati Scrambler' in it. I'll get my er, flouncy fake-fur coat.
I had a lot of 'Joy' when I rode a Scrambler for the first time this morning.in fact I had so much fun I have put a deposit down on one.I don't think that I fit into Ducatis idea of a Scrambler World.I will have to keep me helmet on at all times whilst out with the Scrambler.
If we were all the same in out taste of bikes,it would be very boring.I think it's about time Ducati varied their style of bikes,and not only that,making them affordable too.....good for you!
Couldn't agree more JenC.My taste in bikes is varied and changes almost on a daily basis.I have,however,reached the stage where I realise that my wants have to be tempered with a bit of common sense.My brain still likes to think i am still 18 and invincible,my body tells me something else. I want some fun in a bike that doesn't demand Rossi type expertise or contortions.I like the Scrambler for what it can give me,not interested in lifestyle or image,done that years ago.
When I worked at Pidcock Triumph,their Scrambler and the Thruxton used to sell better then the Speed and Street Triples,as they were more affordable and more fun....the roads these days are now too dangerous to be going warp speed everywhere,too many idiot drivers and hidden cameras,etc.,
I have been looking at the T100and the Thruxton,not in the flesh though.Both very nice bikes,but somewhat heavier than the Ducati.I have been sorely tempted though.luckily I have a good rapport with my Ducati dealer-they have looked after me very well,so they have got my business. I found the torque of the Scrambler quite sufficient for my skills,and very much liked the flickability.
Nope, he didn't want it for your new weirdy lifestyle home of fun and all things cosmic club - he just wanted the bike, didn't you read?
I have put a deposit on a red Icon.if however another variant becomes available due to a customer no longer wanting it,I could be tempted by it. I am delighted that the test ride confirmed exactly what you and others have said about fun factor of the bike.
