Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled? Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. This one’s designed to go off-road so we sent Llewelyn Pavey into the desert to do some skids.
DUCATI has a hit on its hands and I get the impression even it is surprised by the level of its own success. 16,000 Scramblers were sold last year, enough to propel Ducati into the top ten worldwide sales chart of bikes over 500cc for the first time in its history.
'WE'VE seen our friends in Bologna doing well so we're jumping on the hipster band wagon,' joked Shun Miyazawa, Yamaha's project manager during the presentation of the XSR700. The joke fell flat... perhaps because there's truth said in jest.
