Ducati Scrambler (original)

The original Ducati Scrambler was the brand name for a series of single cylinder scrambler motorcycles that Ducati made for the American market from 1962 until 1974. The idea is credited to the American importer Berliner Motor Corporation, and it began with a Ducati Diana road bike converted by Michael Berliner for dirt track racing. The first series, to 1967, used narrow case engines up to 250 cc, and the second series used wider engine cases and frames improved with experience from the factory racing bikes. Models ran from 50 cc up to 450 cc, and the 450 was sold as the Jupiter in the United States. The name came back in 2015 on a new model.
