Ducati Scrambler

The 450 variant was sold as the "Jupiter" in the United States. The first Scramblers (1962–1967) were derived from street-legal models, and featured "narrow case" engines with lightly altered frames. It originally derived from a Ducati Diana road bike converted by Michael Berliner for dirt-track racing in America. These Scrambler models all had a maximum engine capacity of 250cc, and are generally referred to as "narrow case Scrambler(s)" • Scrambler OHC 250 (1962–1963) • Scrambler 250 (1964–1968) • Scrambler 350 (1967–1968) The second series used a wider engine case. Frames were modified with experience derived from Bruno Spaggiari's Ducati factory racing motorcycles. • Scrambler 50 (1970–1971) • Scrambler 125 (1970–1971) • Scrambler 250 (1968–1975) • Scrambler 350 (1968–1975) • Scrambler 450 (1969–1976) • R/T 350 (1971–1974) • R/T 450 (1971–1974) (desmodromic valves)
