their numbers are quite small worldwide, compared to other types and categories of motorcycles, the “cafe racer” style motorcycle has its fans here in Malaysia.
In the early years, decades ago, cafe racers were based on motorcycles that originally came off their respective factories as other types , since no motorcycle manufacturer dared to mass-produce worse-than-spartan motorcycles that are comfortable and/or safe for just one rider, with no side mirrors and hardly any gauges!
While one or two companies created totally new cafe racers – with new frame/chassis, engine, styling and everything else just for it – others simply converted motorcycles that they already have in their line-ups into cafe racers, or rather, motorcycles that fit into the cafe racer category. This Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer in these photos here is such an example. It is based on the current Ducati Scrambler range of motorcycles launched into the market in 2015, in which the “Scrambler” brand name and design concept revived Ducati’s Scrambler line of single-cylinder dual-sport motorcycles made in the 1960s and 1970s.
Other cafe racer and racing influences include handlebar-end mirrors typical of 1960s racing, Termignoni exhaust system with double silencers, headlamp fairing, side racing number** holders and Pirelli Diablo Rosso II with 17-inch aluminium rims. The display layout is not so good – the fuel gauge is at the top of the circular display and the tachometer is at the bottom. You shouldn’t be looking down too far to see the rev, but seasoned riders will surely argue that one needs to only “feel” how the engine is doing, rather than read what the display shows.
