The Ducati Scrambler is the most beautiful bike of the 2014
EICMA show. The EICMA show was held from November 4 to 9, 2014 in Milan, Italy. The
decision on the Scrambler was made by 43pc of more than 10,000 fans who took
part in the competition organised every year by Italian magazine
“Motociclismo”. The result came from a survey among visitors with a form to be
filled out either directly at the show or on its web site. The Ducati Scrambler
was the most popular choice, both at the show and online, and has won with
almost three times the votes of the second place bike which took 15pc.
The prize for “Most Beautiful Bike of Show” was the final
act after an intense week of exhibitions and events that saw an increase in
visitors of approximately 25pc compared to 2013, a clear indication of recovery
for an important, leading sector such as motorcycles, which is particularly
suffering during the current economic crisis, said a press release.
During the Milan show, the Ducati Scrambler stand was
visited by tens of thousands of fans who were able to experience first-hand the
joyful and laid-back atmosphere, characterised by the now legendary yellow
containers and green lawn, alive with bikes, music and fun. The Ducati
Scrambler aims to transmit the joy of bike riding to every generation of biker,
with a range for all ages customers, leaving room for creativity and personal
freedom of expression.
The Ducati Scrambler weighs 170 kg dry and has an 800cc
air-cooled twin cylinder engine equipped with surprising torque even at low
speeds and offering 75 hp, a seat height of just 790 mm (that can be further
reduced to 770 mm) that allows full control of the bike and a riding position
that, thanks to the high and wide handlebar, is particularly comfortable and
relaxed.
The Ducati Scrambler is available in four versions: Icon,
yellow and red; Urban Enduro, characterised by its “Wild Green” colour, for
those who love dirt biking and are always ready for any kind of road; Full
Throttle, for fans of “flat track” racing; Classic, for those who love details
and 1970s style but don’t want to compromise when it comes to the riding
enjoyment and comfort offered by a contemporary bike. Thanks to the wide range
of available accessories, each Ducat Scrambler can be personalised even more.
The Ducati Scrambler will be in Ducati Delearships starting
from the end of January 2015.
