1971 Ducati Scrambler 350

THE MOST FAMOUS ITALIAN SCRAMBLER IN THE WORLD

Designed and produced for the American market by the end of the 60' s, this bike has a single overhead camshaft with bevel gears and is considered a cult in the bike history.

The Scrambler 350 has a very original style and the proportions are well-designed.

Coating and chromium plating are charming still today!

This light bike has well-balanced suspensions and big tires.

Actioning the gear is fast, fluid and precise. The only problem, for bikers like we are today, is the position of the pedal on the right side with the gears all inverted (first gear up).

Both front and rear drum brakes work quite well but does not allow sudden braking.

The single cylinder engine, designed by the engineer Fabio Taglioni, is fluid and really powerful. It is a masterpiece of mechanics. Its roar is like a melody. The frontal reduced dimensions and the large handlebars make this bike extremely handy even on tortuous paths.

The lightness of this bike offers a great acceleration but the limited engine displacement does not allow excessive speed.

However, if you ride at a tourist pace, it will be fun anyway: you can admire the landscapes with the feeling to be a 60's Easy Rider and forget every vibration. And as you go by everyone will only look at your bike!

The kick start does not agree to compromises. Despite the valve lifter lever on the handlebars to make the operation easier, you have to start it with a force kick (to avoid any pain). Boots must be worn, but Scrambler 350 is easy to ride!

Enjoy your ride!
