Ducati 100 Scrambler

The Ducati 100 Scrambler is an on and off road motorcycle that the Italian maker Ducati built in 1970 and 1971. It has an air cooled single cylinder two stroke engine of 98 cc taken from the Mountaineer, a four speed gearbox, a multi plate wet clutch and a 24 mm Dell Orto carburettor. Ducati designed it to take advantage of the dirt bike craze in Italy and used many parts from existing models to hold down research costs. The duplex frame came from the Cadet and SL models, the brakes were drums and the exhaust ran high. It was offered alongside the smaller 50 Scrambler, sold badly and was soon dropped.
