The Ducati Scrambler was the brand name for a series of
single cylinder scrambler motorcycles made by Ducati for the American market
from 1962 until 1974. Its creation is attributed to the American Berliner
Motor Corporation. Models were produced in 250 cc through 450 cc
displacements. The 450 variant was sold as the "Jupiter" in the United
States.
The first Scramblers (1962-1967) were derived from street-legal models, and
featured "narrow case" engines with lightly altered frames. It originally
derived from a Ducati Diana road bike converted by Michael Berliner for
dirt-track racing in America. These Scrambler models all had a maximum engine
capacity of 250cc, and are generally referred to as "narrow case Scrambler(s)"
The Ducati 250 Scrambler was the third model in Ducati’s
line-up to use wide engine crankcases. Packed with a 249 cc SOHC single engine
and mated to a five-speed transmission, the 1972 250 Scrambler became one of the
most sought-after bikes of its time.
The 250-cc engine is often considered to be the smoothest of the entire Ducati
Scrambler range, despite not carrying a decompression lever to assist in
starting.
