The Ducati 125 Scrambler was a beloved period piece from the Italian marque, boasting a dedicated following among riders.
Its evolution began with a 125 cc SOHC narrow case engine, before growing to 160 cc and eventually topping out at 250 cc, which also featured Marzochi forks for added handling prowess. Some models even retained the “125” moniker while sporting a SOHC single engine paired with a five-speed transmission.
The 125 Scrambler’s charm lies in its diminutive size and featherlight weight, making it an ideal companion for off-pavement adventures – one bike that invites you to get down and dirty without hesitation.
