New spy shot of Ducati Scrambler revealed

Last week, Ducati had given a sneak peek at the much awaited Ducati Scrambler to motorcycle fans at the 2014 World Ducati Week.

There was no unveiling as such; rather fans were given a glimpse of the Scrambler inside a ‘secret room’ – a similar yellow metal container which Ducati used to show the Scrambler to employees weeks ago.

Security was tight and Ducati only let in groups of eight or less inside the container to have a glimpse of the Scrambler. Cameras and even cellphones were not allowed, lest images of the Scrambler be leaked out to the outside world. That clearly has not worked as one fan managed to take a shot and post it on a Facebook fan page.

The retro yellow paint scheme looks cool and also visible is the forward cylinder of the V-twin motor, clearly confirming our earlier reports that the new Scrambler will be powered by one of Ducati’s smaller air-cooled v-twin motors. The original Scrambler series bikes from the '60s and '70s were powered by single cylinder engines.
