Ducati DESERT SLED 2017 Scrambler 900 Desert Sled Racer

This vision of one man and his take on the race bike he, and we, felt Ducati themselves should have built. This almighty machine has been brought over from the USA and has been UK registered. Below is an article written by our friend Gary and featured in his notorious magazine, Sideburn, where the bike received a 5 page spread. We frankly could not put into words better than Garys write up and interview with the bikes builder and former owner, Paul. It describes the thought process, specification and vision with a review of the ride too. The bikes most recent owner, and the guy who imported it to the UK, saw this write up themselves and that the bike was for sale at the time it was published and just had to have it. Thank you to Gary and the Sideburn team for the below. https://www.sideburnmagazine.com/post/forsaleducatidesertsledhooliganracebikeSIDEBURN MAGAZINE WRITE UP:The Ducati Scrambler has won plenty of fans since it was launched in 2015. Ive always had a soft spot for socalled entrylevel Ducatis, from the rectangularheadlight 750SS, to the firstgen Monsters, and now the Scramblers. I struggled to afford the nonentrylevel models, and I am attracted by the steelframed simplicity and purity, plus the adequate power and practicality when compared to their increasingly demented superbikes. But there was always something iffy about the selfproclaimed Land of Joy PR. that accompanied the Scramblers. The whole thing stank of the kind of city gentrification that pushes out the artists, the original settlers, the ones who made an area interesting, to enable the wealthier followers, those who want to simply consume the lifestyle offtheshelf, to roll in. The Scrambler subbrand was trying too hard to be cool and quirky and it was rarely hitting the right notes, for me at least, yet there was enough real substance underneath for the new breed of Italian twins to be a success, without out all the hokey marketing.The bike is not a onetrick pony, either, I just take the front number plate off and put the headlight back on and I am cruising the streets.END OF SIDEBURN MAGAZINE WRITE UP.As you have read, this mega machine is as good as it looks to ride both on and off road. We just love staring at it too. As with all of our vehicles, we have a digital folder available on request containing more images, walkaround videos, pictures of the underside and scans of the service history. The car can be viewed by appointment at our West London showroom.
