Ducati 50 Scrambler

The Ducati 50 Scrambler is a small on and off road motorcycle that the Italian maker Ducati built in 1970 and 1971. Its air cooled single cylinder two stroke engine displaces 50 cc and was taken from the 50SL, with a four speed gearbox and a multi plate wet clutch. Ducati built it to catch the dirt bike craze in Italy at the time and reused many existing parts to keep development costs down. The frame was the duplex type of the Cadet and SL models, and the bike had drum brakes, a high level exhaust and a yellow and black finish. It is the smaller sibling of the 100 Scrambler. It sold poorly and was dropped within about two years.
