  • Anyone with half a brain can look beyond Ducati's 'Scrambler' moniker to the simple, beautifully made and charismatic motorcycle beneath. A trellis frame suspending a Euro 4 compliant version of the much adored air-cooled Desmo L-twin has been a recipe for sales success, but not everyone wants to follow the herd.
    The deBolex One-of-One ethos utilises their rarely rivaled in-house fabricating and metalwork capabilities to produce some of the most stand-out and high quality custom motorcycles - full stop.
    The company's founder, Calum, talks us through this striking homage to classic race bikes from a golden era.

    This is probably the most beautiful bike I have ever seen...
    What a synergy between the modern hardware and the classic race fairings and styling.

    And here is the sad part, Ducati has all the base parts already available, no reconfiguration needed to duplicate this work of art. The simplicity compared to the v4’s is perfect. Of course Ducati would probably say, there is not enough money to be made manufacturing this.
    Now I wish deBolex would see this comment as well as others. Beautiful build and vision to see the possibility.

    @nightster6378 Před 5 lety

    Beautiful bike and really beautifully engineered, the bodywork being second to none. I would love to see this bike with the lower fairing removed mainly because I like a more naked look seeing the air-cooled engine i.e. 900ss, Paul Smart etc. This is in no way a criticism.
    The 1 criticisms I do have is American speak for bike parts. Why do we want to speak American or is watching too much Orange County Choppers rubbing off on us.
    Triple clamps or triple trees for YOLKS (I cringed when the presenter said it). Hardtail for Rigid (choppers have hardtails), headlamp ears, sick etc
    14 thumbs down? these guys must be helluva bike builders.

    Beautiful bike. I ride a nearly identical 803 myself (desert sled), and the only issue I see is that these air cooled bikes run HOT, and I would be worried that the tight fitting fairing would cook the bike and the rider. Hopefully the open oil cooler is all that is needed, but the fact that the exhaust and all the cooling fins are blanketed, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a BBQ on a hot day.

    Ducati should adopt all aspects and bodywork of this, add in some suspension and do a scrambler 1100 based limited edition cafe racer model. When they did the MH900E everyone flipped out selling them out online straight away, prices are still very strong for them .this is such a well executed build.
    Triumph tried it with the thruxton TFC but priced it too high..... ducati definitely has the brand history and attraction to make it work

  • @Trickshot72
    @Trickshot72 Před 5 lety

    It's wonderful. I think that exhaust pipe is going to bubble the paint on fairing though, regardless of the heat shield. Unrelated, but the interviewer has a nice voice.

    • @Trickshot72
      @Trickshot72 Před 5 lety

      Thank you. My guess is, this bike will not spend much time stood in traffic, so hopefully this issue will not occur. Not exactly a commuter, judging by the height of those bars.

      @MrKinir Před 5 lety +1

      That modern looking swingarm looks very out of place indeed. I think that's the only problem with that design.
      I guess he couldn't find a replacement easily, being a Scrambler base.

    • @projectg408
      @projectg408 Před 3 lety

      ShortFatandStumpy FAT I agree with your thoughts. It makes you do a double take and realize that under that retro skin is a perfectly sorted and modern bike. No rattles or issues, no old underpowered engine, no wobbly chassis. That’s the good part about new Ducati’s... they’re very well made.
