Ducati is often referred to as “The Ferrari of Motorcycles,” and with a lineup that includes the batshit Panigale R, the more “accessible” Monster and the funny-looking-but-incredibly-capable Hypomotard, the epithet is clearly not without its merits. Ducati has long been a brand about Italian bravado and ludicrous speed, but as motorcycling grows in popularity, Ducati must expand its product lineup to reach more riding audiences. At the 2015 EICMA motorcycle expo, Ducati unveiled three new models that show the Bologna-based manufacturer is keeping up with the times.
Ducati Scrambler Sixty2
Since it came out, the Scrambler has been Ducati’s beginner-oriented, throwback moto of choice. And with solid sales numbers, the Scrambler was destined to see even more variations to spread the wealth. Enter the Scrambler Sixty2, the new entry-level model in the Scrambler range. It gets a smaller 399cc L-Twin engine making 41 horsepower (compared to the bigger version’s 75 horsepower 803cc engine) and weighs about 403 pounds. It makes for a nice beginner bike for aspiring Ducati owners and a solid city runabout for both new and experienced riders alike.
