In 2014, at the Intermot Motorcycle Show, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Ducati Scrambler, a standard or roadster V-twin engined machine sold in the US from 2015. The bike was available in six 803cc versions, such as the Classic, Urban Enduro, Icon, Flat Track Pro, Full Throttle, and Italia Independent, and a 399cc version, named Sixty2.
The name and design concept of the bike was a revival of the 1962-1974 Scrambler line of dual-sport single-cylinder machines. Although its retro design incorporated various motocross elements, including the handlebar and brake pedal, the bike was intended only for street use.
In 2017, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Icon 800, a bike characterized by its teardrop-shaped fuel tank with interchangeable aluminum side panels and comfortable riding position, with a 790 mm seat height.
The 2017 Ducati Icon 800 was powered by an 803cc four-stroke L-twin air-cooled engine, managed by an electronic fuel injection system, boasting 75 hp with a peak at 8,250 rpm and 68 Nm (lb-ft) torque at 5,750 rpm.
The bike's braking power was achieved by a 330 mm disc mounted on the front wheel, squeezed by a four-piston caliper. On the rear, it packed a 245 mm disc with a single-piston caliper, delivering excellent stopping power.
The machine was available in three color schemes, 62 Yellow, Ducati Red, and Silver Ice, all with a black-finished frame and seat.
