TANK SLAPPER
DUCATI SCRAMBLER VS YEZDI SCRAMBLER
Not too far ahead of me is Sherman astride the Ducati Scrambler. We’re both going absolutely flat out, me giving all that is there to offer on the Yezdi Scrambler. We were riding on dirt, off the tarmac, the kind of environment where power is not everything, which also was the only reason why I was somewhat able to keep up with Ducati. Now, I could either try a stunt or something, or maybe cut across the set path and possibly line up with Sherman even if it only meant for a few seconds. It is a game of who dares wins, really. Welcome to the world of scramblers. Welcome to unadulterated fun.
WAIT, WHY THESE TWO?
It’s a comparison that just does not make sense at first. But, if you had to look at them as the few proper scrambler motorcycles out there, we could be getting somewhere with them. But, before we get there let’s get all the dissimilarity out of the way, shall we? Now, you’ve already seen the Ducati Scrambler on these pages before, not just once, but on multiple occasions. This motorcycle has been around for a while now, and it is the most affordable way to add a Ducati to your garage. The Yezdi Scrambler, on the other hand, is the young gun that is one of the three motorcycles to have been launched by a brand, resurrected only sometime back. If we are to leave the obvious differences aside, what we have here are two motorcycles that are based on the same concept, share the same name, have the same intent and for sure pack a lot of fun, in abundance.
