Brilliant bit of marketing from Borgo, aping what HD did with their Street 750 last year, Ducati has gone a given Bayliss a 'Scrambler' style bike for his AMA stint. Hey if its going to help ducati sell more motorbikes why not.

Its got an 1100cc air head in it, so I wonder if the Scrambler branding is pre-empting the rumour that Scramby will eventually get the 1100??

It looks so much more burly. Barely can fit the engine in the middle there.

The 21-badged Scrambler received a flat-track-compliant trim, meaning it lost the front brake, retaining only the rear rotor. The bike rolls with 19-spoke cast wheels and got flat-track-specific suspensions, low bars and a front number plate. The tail section is a custom fabrication designed especially for this project.

And if you want to actually watch Bayliss race this Scrambler here are the races he will be competing in.

May 24 - Spingfield mile (Round 3)
May 30 - Sacramento Mile (Round 4)
July 4 - Du Quoin Mile (Round 7)
July 11 - Indy Mile (Round 8)
September 6 - Springfield Mile II (Round 13)

And here is what he'll be wearing.

Now if only these guys would go and sell these to us. Love the flat seat/tank profiles

But is anything about Bayliss' bike actually from the scrambler besides the sticker? As pretty as it is I don;t reallt like how ignorant Ducati thinks we are!!

I don't know, I still think it fits in well with the 'escape from reality' marketing campaign.

I've personally thought the Tudor watch collection was goofy. 3500 dollar watches sold to people who are buying the cheapest Ducati made doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Well another ex World Superbike Champion here advertising the Scrambler, it must be good for Ducati
