Custom Scramblers at the Shed
We already reported thet the winner of the EICMA Best in Show contest 2014, the Ducati Scrambler by Radikal Chopper will come to the Shed. But there are other great custom Scramblers that debuted at last weekend’s event in London, here are the five best designs.
- SC-Rumble by Vibrazioni Art
SC-Rumble
Just like Radikal Chopper, Vibrazioni Art is also based in Italy. Their bike – called the SC-Rumble – was commissioned by long standing partners, Ducati and Pirelli, who decided to collaborate on the artistic aspect as well, commissioning Vibrazioni Art Design to create a work of art on the two-wheeler.
- Urban Jungle Scrambler by IDP Custom Moto
Urban Jungle Scrambler
IDP was one of the two Ducati partners who were commissioned by the manufacturer’s British division. IDP used a full throttle version of the Ducati Scrambler to produce a Carl Fogarty „I’m a celebrity get me out of here” – inspired design. IDP wanted to give the bike a lighter feel by removing some of the small panels and covers, as well as the front and rear mudguards and the wrap-round number plate bracket and modifying the exhaust guard. The bike was stretched a little at the front, which they did by replacing the standard headlight with a more traditional unit. The bike features a re-worked black vinyl seat complete with ribbed detailing on top. New side panels were fabricated to cover the space left by the original seat and the red camo hydrographics design was inspired by the headband worn by Foggy in the jungle. The polished tank panels worn by the Urban Jungle Scrambler were taken from the original ’62 model and tied in with the polished number plate and headlight brackets.

- Blue Moon by Britaliamoto
Blue Moon
Northampton based designer Britaliamoto used a Ducati Scrambler Classic as the basis for their flat track inspired creation. The bike nicknamed “Blue Moon” due to its matt blue livery. The bike feature a GT1000 swing arm and a Termignoni race-line full 2-1 steel exhaust system that has been modified into a 2-2 stacked system. Other notable features include a reshaped seat and tail unit built using two-part foam, resin and filler, a relocated ignition switch behind the head-stock and the centralising of the speedometer. The original LED headlight was replaced by a 5 inch headlight unit as were the handlebars and seat.
- Gulf Tracker by Ducati Sheffield
Gulf Tracker
This special Scrambler uses the livery of the legendary Gulf Oil brand. Pastel blue adorns the tank and front mudguard with a polished swing arm. The rear foot pegs and the mounts have been removed along with the rear mudguard to give the bike a clean cut styling finish. The light tan seat has been re-shaped to provide greater comfort and synergy with the newly coloured frame. There is a striking in-house built exhaust and fat bars have been crafted with internal cables for a clean front end with bar end mirrors added to further enhance the rider’s line of vision. The rider can complete the overall look, sporting a Gulf inspired painted helmet that has been created to complement the look. The Gulf tracker is still very much a work in progress for the company’s builder Kev French with the a new exhaust system and number board amongst the modifications planned.

- DMC Eccythump Scrambler by Ducati Manchester
DMC Eccythump Scrambler
The Ducati Manchester “DMC Eccythump Scrambler” has been built using 1950’s / 60’s Superleggera coach building techniques, in partnership with Paul Eccleshare. This Scrambler was influenced by Paul’s 1960’s Italian supercar designs. A straight through handmade exhaust, hand crafted leather seat influenced by the 1960’s Italian sports car, handmade stone guards and heat shields from sheet aluminium, vintage motocross headlight and handlebars provide the form of the bike. 24 carat gold leaf painted over self-developed white and brown pearlescent base coats finish the look. The wheels were stripped, polished and painted, some of the standard steel parts of the bike’s wheel were then nickel plated to give a deep shine effect. The tyres are a low profile Enduro road tyre. Paul has now partnered with DMC Moto and Ducati Manchester to offer their Ducati customers this level of handmade customisation and stunning detail.
