The more I look at the two scrambler spy shots the more and more I begin to think the Scrambler is being designed to go head to head with the KTM Duke.
Ducati is on record saying they are interested in diversifying their portfolio and really expanding into emerging markets. Well look no further than the KTM Duke for penetrating emerging markets. The Duke in 125, 200 and 390 displacements have been big sellers for the brand in India.
Even look at the styling of the Scrambler and the Styling of the Duke...
I just worry that the Scrambler gets caught in an ugly in between style of too modern mixed with too retro. The Duke looks like a pure modern scrambler, while the Ducati spy shows something that is trying to straddle two epochs...
