![]() The wide ‘bars, low COG and narrow tyres along with the light weight means the FTP is a great old school style cornering bike that loves long classic lines and lots of lean angle, scraping the footpegs just at the limit, which, like the bikes of the 1990s and 1980s, lets you know where you are. It is one of those bikes you can have a blast on, grinning from ear to ear, without needing 200-horsepower. A proper Ducati steel trellis frame with great geometry really makes the Scrambler a weapon in the twisties. It loves doing big drifts and really is top fun having so much power and torque on hand in the dirt! I had a blast on the Flat Track Pro on the smooth loose dirt. The shift lights/rev limit lights will be flashing before you know it once you get into it and shifting through the box chasing the tacho is a blast. Acceleration is thrilling enough and the donk is so silky smooth, combined with the slick gearbox and clutch action, that it really is a pleasure to experience and it just loves to rev as well so brings the hoon out that is for sure.įuelling is quite good but could do with some fine-tuning, however, throttle application is smooth so that is the main thing and performance is strong. With 68Nm of torque on hand at 5750rpm the little engine has plenty of go for a fun ride without sending you to the lock up. The 803cc L-twin is a two-valve air-cooled unit and makes smooth, tractable power yet still has a purposeful top-end hit that with a bit of clutch action can have the front 18in alloy wheel pawing for the sky! ![]() The Desmo engine is a gem and originally for the Monster 796, though slightly re-tuned for the Scrambler with revised valve angle, camshaft profile and timing. The note from the street legal ADR approved Termignoni slip-ons is really quiet so I would be doing something about that straight away! No MotoGP lean angles but plenty for the tyres and loads of fun. ![]()
