A MODERN CLASSIC

-

Ciao! The 399-cm3 30-kw L-twin Ducatiati Scrambler Sixty2 may be called a scrambler, but it doesn’t exactly act like one. When you rev high enough through its six gears, the bike moves as fast as a beautiful Italian woman avoiding advances from men on the streets of Rome. e. It’s air-cooled with antilock brakes. On the high-tech digital dash there are no ride modes or traction control to cycle through, no gear ar indicators, no fuel gauge. Just a weird digital tachometer that goes s backwards and a normal-reading speedomete­r. The seat is flat andd comfortabl­e enough for short distances, but gets a little uncomforta­able outside the city limits. Along with grey and black, you can fulfill all of your retro senses by choosing the Atomic Tangerine paint option. Throw your date on the back and ride to the art-house theaatre to see Blow-up for the hundredth time. – DC
