Ducati Scrambler

The original Ducati Scrambler was a single-cylinder motorcycle built from 1962 to 1974. Developed for the American market, its light weight and rugged styling made it a success in the US, with engine sizes ranging from 250cc to the desirable 450cc. After a 40-year hiatus, Ducati re-launched the Scrambler in 2015 as a new sub-brand. These modern bikes use an 803cc L-twin engine and feature a retro design that's proven incredibly popular, spawning numerous variants like the Icon, Desert Sled, and Sixty2.

The Scrambler's collectibility is split between two worlds. The original 1960s and 70s models, particularly the 350 and 450 variants, are sought-after by vintage collectors for their historical importance and rarity. The modern Scramblers aren't classic collectibles yet, but their huge popularity has created a massive community and aftermarket, making them a fun and customizable entry into the Ducati brand. Limited editions and more capable models like the Desert Sled tend to hold their value best.

The market for Scramblers is broad, encompassing both affordable modern bikes and pricey classics. The average sale price of around $7,600 is heavily weighted toward recent, used models that dominate transaction volume. Well-restored vintage examples or top-tier modern variants can easily double that figure, showing a clear divide between daily riders and collector-grade machines.

Based on 12 sales, prices for Ducati Scramblers range from $5,100 to $15,500.
