Motorcycle specifications DucatiSCRAMBLER 800 Cafe Racer 2018 Mood swings

Everyone wants a Café-Racer. From Triumph to BMW, it's all the talk of the scrambler. Ducati already has its Scrambler, which is a big hit. Just to ride the wave, the little mutt is mixing it up with racing. Put on your Superbikes, forget the stopwatches, and get out the grated leather, the bowl and the goggles. And grab the half handlebars of the Scrambler Café-Racer.

with your paws in the racing position, that's the basis for a café-racer. It also needs sport tires (Pirelli Diablo Rosso II), 17-inch rims, and a Termignoni pot that smells of arsouille. Then it's down to a series of small details to complete the package. You'd better believe it: a minimalist headlamp cover, handlebar-mounted mirrors, a seat cover, a small chequered flag on the sides of the tank, and a large number plate. With a 54... A reference? Yes, to Bruno Spaggiari, who won the 1968 Mototemporada romagnole, a racing series that opened the season.

in short, style and conviction, but that doesn't mean we're going to get into the racing spirit... You can't ask too much of the 73-hp twin. It's perfectly suited to the Scrambler spirit, whether Icon, Desert Sled or Classic. But telling it to think it's at an Ace Café fight is just too much. But don't blame him, he'll give the rider a good dose of pep. In the workshop, it's been painted black and the fins milled. On the engineering side, we've upgraded it to Euro4 and smoothed out the injection mapping.
Braking is adequate for the power developed: 330 mm disc and 4-piston radial caliper, ABS, and a 256 mm disc at the rear. To really get into the racer spirit, a double disc would have been in order to complement the inverted fork.
