And, unlike a Harley, you won’t have to take out a mortgage to get one. The biggest change is the 803cc L-Twin engine, with 75 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 50 foot-pounds of torque at 5,750 rpm. No flash, no touchscreens, just a machine that can handle any job it’s given. The Icon has a few modern touches-there’s a USB charger in the under-seat storage compartment and an LED headlamp on the front-but the reason we love this bike is that Ducati stayed true to the original. Yet it’s light and nimble enough to make quick trips to the grocery store or across town. It has wide, off-road-ready handlebars, a trail-friendly suspension system, and dual-sport wheels made to go on- or off-pavement. All nod to the original’s classic motocross styling-big round headlights, long seats, bright paint jobs-but the Icon most closely resembles the beloved original. There are four iterations of the reissue: Classic, Full Throttle, Urban Enduro, and Icon. That changes this spring, when Ducati brings back the Scrambler. But the industry shifted, and minivan-size half-ton touring behemoths and window-rattling choppers squeezed the stripped-down, go-anywhere bike out of the market. Production of the new Ducati Scrambler, already featured in the seventh episode of the Ducati World Premiere 2023, has begun in the Borgo Panigale plant. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was the ultimate bike: lightweight, beginner-friendly, great looking, and both smooth enough for a commute on paved roads and tough enough to take down trails or onto the beach. If you know anything about motorcycles, you’re probably aware of Ducati’s original, iconic Scrambler.
