MOST PEOPLE KNOW THE SCRAMBLER AS THE entry-point into the Ducati family and that is true, but there is more to it. The Scrambler range has its own identity and the new generation has only added to that charm. They are the simplest and easiest Ducatis to have fun on. We did, too, except that our time was spent astride the Scrambler Full Throttle, a motorcycle that has everything the Scrambler has, plus a lot of high-end kit.
So far as styling goes, one is aware that there is something that sets it apart from the standard Scrambler but one is usually unable to put a finger on it. That is because although it is largely similar to the standard model, the Full Throttle has been inspired by flat-track racers. The shape of the handlebars, side-panels with the number "62" on them, and the rear bodywork are giveaways to that design philosophy. It works in the motorcycle's favour, especially in this colour scheme. That is where the inspiration ends because while flat-trackers use 19-inch wheels, this one has 17- and 18-inch units at the rear and front respectively. Lights are LED all around and Ducati's eye for detail even for something as small as the turn indicators needs to be applauded.
The number "62" is a tribute to the first-ever Scrambler that was launched in 1962 and since then the evolution has always been within the guidelines of what the motorcycle was initially developed to be. Even the Full Throttle offers an incredible combination of old school charm, motor sport inspiration, modern technology, and high-end componentry.
