Retro or vintage style. Cool. A little heavy and fat for dirt. But, by today's standards, maybe not.

Here is a pic of the original. The new one does have a little styling ques from the old bike. Especially the tank.

The top one does have a number plate silk screened on the seat though.

The yellow one clearly needs the engine moved backward to get weight on the rear wheel. Also the rake of the front end is obviously too steep and needs to be less aggressive.

I think it would also benefit from one more tooth to the rear sprocket.

I bet it was,did they actually call it a Ducati Scrambler? I had the chance to buy a "Scrambler" a few years ago but it didn't look like that,maybe because of it being disguised in road going trim

Link to build or anything? That thing is amazing.
I've been eyeballing this idea lately for a base model sporty:
Sportster Scrambler

It's great they brought that back but are charging way too much for it in my opinion.
