Originally published on Canada Moto Guide: Test Ride: 2018 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Ducati’s Scrambler is a runaway success. Now almost a sub-brand of its own, the Scrambler series got the formula pretty much bang-on from the moment it rolled out at Intermot in 2014. Back then, it was only available in an 803 cc package, but the line-up has now

The Ducati Scrambler has been a godsend for the Italian marque. The funky, spunky, and downright fun little bike in its original iteration was immediately adored by critics and consumers alike – and leapt north of 15,000 worldwide sales in rapid time. When I first rode the Ducati Scrambler in 2015 I was awed by it. I still am. Ducati

It was the top-selling car in the UK for years, but you've likely never heard of it. It's a practical compact that's also a classic. And even better, it's a classic that's affordable. It's our autoTRADER.ca Find of the Week, a 1966 MG 1100. The car started out as the creatively named ADO16. That stands for Amalgamated Drawing Office, project num

Review by Jacob Black, photos by Jacob Black and courtesy of Ducati. First Ride: 2015 Ducati Line Up Ducati has a formidable lineup. The Italian marque runs the gamut from dual-sport adventure to naked sports roadster all the way to full-on superbike. There’s even a cruiser in there – though it’s not actually a cruiser. It’s a daunting gan

Ducati has taken its biggest shot ever at the cruiser market with the unveiling of the all-new XDiavel ahead of EICMA 2016. With feet-forward controls and an unmistakeable cruiser style the XDiavel takes the Diavel even further into traditional cruiser territory - including a brand-first belt drive. Ducati boasts that the XDiavel does "what crui

Spring can’t arrive soon enough for those who ride motorcycles. The Motorcycle Show in Toronto provides a great mid-winter reprieve to plan trips, invest in some updated gear, and buy, or enter to win a new motorcycle. It’s running February 15–17, at the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. Ontario’s only stop on the motorcycle manufa

Every year, Jeep and Mopar bring out a host of concepts to the Easter Jeep Safari Held in Moab, Utah. Jeep is up to its usual tricks for the 53rd running of the event,  showing off a host of concepts. Some with parts you can buy at dealers, and some that are, well, Wayout. That first one, the Jeep Wayout, is actually one of the more tame concept

Ducati and Harley-Davidson led the kick off of the 2017 Toronto Motorcycle Show with two Canadian debuts. Ducati showed their 215 hp, carbon-fibre-framed 1299 SuperLeggera , a street legal machine with Formula 1 car power to weight. The Italian marque also had on display two new editions of the successful Scrambler range, including the Desert S

My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about. He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law. Okay, maybe that's enough Rush. And maybe this Barchetta isn't red. But it's still a rather pleasing teal. Plus it's spring. When a young (or old) driver's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of convertible. Like this one. The autoTRADER.ca Find o

One of the great crown jewels of Japan’s manufacturing industry is its motorcycle companies. So it’s no surprise that when the eyes of the world turn to Tokyo for the Tokyo Motor Show the two-wheeled turnout is huge. From retro concepts to pimped-out Groms and even a Canadian interloper, the show produced some spectacular bike porn. Here are o

In many ways, 2016 will be the Year of the Adventure Bike. With multiple adventure models being released – some by the same manufacturer – it’s clearly a segment of focus for the coming year. But it’s not all for the high-mileage, soft-road types. Ducati has a new iteration of their uber-successful Scrambler, plus an Italian take on the foot-forwar

Earlier this year, Petro-Canada announced that it would be building a nationwide network of electric vehicle fast-charging stations. The first station is now open, and Petro-Canada (or is that now Electro-Canada?), has revealed a list of the first approximately 60 sites to get a station. The list includes charging sites in eight provinces. Sorry

Motorcycle engines have a unique ability to shape the character of the bike they’re bolted to. They define their surrounding metal completely: from the model name to the noise the rider makes when describing his or her ride to friends and family. The engine is at the core of what a motorcycle is, and what makes it special. Whether built for work
