Object to "clone" should be elegant Ducati Scrambler, unreleased in the 70-ies of the last century and is equipped with a single-cylinder air-cooled engine. This motor is not a model of reliability - he had a problem with the crankshaft, and a number of other "congenital diseases."
However, Ducati is not going to soon give up the tradition of recent years to equip all of its two-cylinder motorcycle engine with the angle of the cylinders 90 degrees. Apparently, the new scrambler will be no exception, as the most likely donor engine is well known for its high reliability Monster 696.
Production of the new model is planned for the Ducati factory in Thailand, but this would require a capacity expansion - now the plant is fully loaded, releasing a thousand motorcycles a year.
