Overview

Introducing the 2019 Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer, a motorcycle that perfectly embodies the spirit of freedom and rebellion inherent in classic cafe racer culture. Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate retro aesthetics with modern engineering, this bike merges Italian craftsmanship with a touch of nostalgia. The Scrambler Cafe Racer stands out in the Ducati lineup, appealing to riders who crave a blend of style, performance, and thrill, making it an ideal choice for both urban commuting and weekend escapades. At the heart of the Scrambler Cafe Racer lies an 803 cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 73 horsepower at 8,250 RPM and a torque of 67 Nm at 5,750 RPM. This configuration allows for an exhilarating ride, with a power-to-weight ratio that ensures nimble handling and robust acceleration. The air-cooled engine features a sophisticated electronic fuel injection system, delivering smooth throttle response and fuel efficiency of approximately 46.12 mpg. With a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multiplate clutch, shifting gears is a seamless experience, whether you're navigating through city streets or carving up twisty mountain roads. The chassis of the Scrambler Cafe Racer is equally captivating, built on a lightweight tubular steel trellis frame that enhances agility without compromising stability. The motorcycle is equipped with an upside-down Kayaba 41 mm fork and a rear Kayaba shock, both offering 150 mm of travel for a balanced ride. The braking system is top-notch, featuring ABS-equipped single discs at both the front (330 mm) and rear (245 mm), ensuring confidence-inspiring stopping power. Additional highlights include a sleek Silver Ice Matt color scheme, an electric starter, and a comfortable seat height of 805 mm, making this bike accessible to a wide range of riders. **

Pros

  • Stylish Design: The retro cafe racer aesthetics turn heads and evoke a sense of nostalgia while retaining modern flair.
  • Performance: The combination of a powerful engine and lightweight frame provides agile handling and thrilling acceleration.
  • Comfortable Ride: Adjustable suspension allows for personalization, ensuring comfort during both short rides and long journeys.

Cons

  • Limited Storage: The minimalist design leaves little room for storage options, which may be a drawback for long-distance touring.
  • Seat Height: Although accessible, the seat height may not be ideal for all riders, particularly those with shorter inseams.
  • Narrow Focus: The bike's cafe racer styling prioritizes aesthetics and a sporty riding position, which may not be the best fit for those seeking a more upright cruising experience.
