2018 DUCATI SCRAMBLER DESERT SLED

KEY FACTS

• A near-new example of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, which has been lightly modified.
• It is powered by the 67hp 803cc four-stroke V-twin engine, coupled to a six-speed transmission.
• The bike remained unused for two years in the possession of its first keeper, before being purchased by the vendor in 2020, and treated to some upgrades and mechanical recommissioning.
• It has since covered 500 miles, benefiting from a service in June 2021.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• An adaptation of the marque’s original ‘60s dual-sport Scrambler, with motocross styling.
• It features a tubular steel trellis frame with an inverted Kayaba telescopic fork at the front and swingarm-style suspension with a Kayaba monoshock at the rear.
• The seat has been lowered by 20mm, a tail tidy has been fitted, and it is equipped with folding levers and flow indicators – though all OEM components are also included in the sale.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book and keys will be included.

CONDITION

• There is no bodywork or frame damage, and as you might expect of a bike with such low mileage, its original white finish is immaculate.
• Its black seat presents in similarly superb condition, with no wear.
• No electrical issues have been detected.
• The first MOT test was on 12 May 2021 at an indicated 26 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in June 2021, where technicians at The Old Boys Motorcycle Workshop and Cafe in Poole replaced the engine oil, filters, timing belt, spark plugs and brake fluid.
