Ducati Scrambler 1100 Sport: Chitty Chitty-Bang Bang

Hooliganism Takes A Step Up As Does The Ducati Scrambler. Time To Unleash Some Mayhem.

- Sherman Nazareth

It’s been three years since the Scrambler first laid treadmarks on our hallowed soil. It’s also been one of the few things to make this world a slightly better place. I say this because this Scrambler family is a concoction of Ducati lineage and heritage that’s perfectly capable of making an absolute mockery of all things civil, while still making you look as cool as a hipster avocado on wheels. And in a world where everyone takes themselves a little too seriously, it’s good to have a machine that’s designed to cause nothing but mayhem. When the dimunitive 803cc Scrambler first launched in India, it didn’t receive the warmest welcome; mostly because we Indians have the inherent tendency to wildly overcompensate for a lack of, well, you know what. That wasn’t the case globally, though. The Scrambler makes up for a third of Ducati’s worldwide sales, so it’s obviously got the right elements in all the right places. It isn’t just for the horde of factory produced beard-clad, crew-cut hipsters that love sipping on a dainty little glass of wine when nobody’s looking. The beard is just a distraction, trust me. But Ducati’s addressed these feelings of inadequacy and created an even wilder, bigger version of the Scrambler, the 1100. See, everyone’s happy now.
