In the 60s, American importer Joe Berliner was bringing in so many Ducatis that he had the ear of the corporate office. So when he started asking for a do-it-all bike aimed towards younger riders, the Italian firm obliged him with the Scrambler, a dual-sport based off the road-based Diana which Berliner had converted for dirt track competitions in the US. A few years later, that had evolved into the Ducati Scrambler 350 you see before you.
In 1968, Ducati released the ‘wide-case’ Scramblers in 250cc and 350cc variants – frames were widened to fit the new engines. While the 350 did not receive the desmo valve train, they were still quick enough, as the 336cc engine produced 24 horsepower. For more information, check out this general Scrambler write-up from Ducati Classics.
This specific Ducati Scrambler 350 is unfortunately not running at the moment. It has compression but no spark. But cosmetically, the bike looks great – even the 45 year old chrome tank looks good and is dent free. It has Akront rims and a custom exhaust.
