The Scrambler was mainly designed for the American market. It underwent a number of changes until 1968 with the launch of true Scramblers mounting a “wide casing” engines, first in the 250 and 350 version and then, in 1969, in the 450 version.
The bike was popular due to its outstanding frame and the engine was made to measure for its purpose. It was not the fastest motorcycle of its time, but the overall performance and the perfectly centred riding position made it one of the most enjoyable bikes around.
GAM was imported from the USA in 2019 (US licence on file) and has been fully restored by the well known Ducati expert, Richard Wujkiw. This includes the engine with new bearings, bushes and seals, electronic ignition, uprated clutch, new carb, the frame has been powder coated, wheels rebuilt with stainless steel spokes, new tyres, seat recovered, rewired with an Electrex World kit, new mudguards and fully painted. He states it starts first kick and it did when brought to the saleroom.
