Where did this notion that the Scrambler is a hipster's bike arise from?
And what exactly is a hipster?
I am 61. Can I be one?
Let's speak clearly for a moment, because while Ducati doesn't want to outright say it, the Italian motorcycle company is clearly pitching the hipster crowd on this retro-cool machine.
Thus, listing performance aspects, horsepower figures, and the various whistles and bells on the Ducati Scrambler is a lost cause…this isn't a motorcycle that is being sold on its technical aspects. It is being sold on its emotion, on its aesthetic, and its resonance with a younger and newer demographic.

Mad Max!!!!
They won't have them in China, will they, TB?
Do you want one?
No worries ~ not my bike, random pics floating around the internet.Was at Hong Kong Ducati dealership ÅKÃMºô»x www.ibike.com.hk the other day and they have the full Scrambler line available now...HK Ducati Scrambler Launch = 2015 Ducati Scrambler Launch Party 18 Apr 2015Very nice. Very nice indeed. I'm sending a photo of this bike to a friend by email. I hope you don't mind.
Technical question: I take it the Scrambler has a cambelt as opposed to a camchain. How often does it need replacing, please?
Is changing them an expensive job?
Are the services 12,000 km apart? Seems good if true. But I've always thought motorcycle service schedules are too frequent.
Standard is boring, wait and see while the aftermarket parts manufacturers kick into high gear like HP Corse, an Italian exhaust company is making their Hydroform pipe fit the Scrambler.The standard ones look better.
Only 24 of the special limited-edition Paul Smart replica Ducati Scramblers were built by Thailand's Ducati importer, and they all sold instantly to Ducati Asia's VIP customers.....
