The Ducati Scrambler Icon (and the other variations in the Scrambler line) pretty much hit motorcycle enthusiasts right in our gooey center. Never mind that it’s essentially a rebranded air-cooled Monster (not that there’s anything wrong with that) and built to a budget (not that there’s anything wrong with that either), the Scrambler’s great styling, easy riding, and fun personality have made it a hit for all kinds of riders. But now there’s this Ducati Scrambler Paul Smart Limited Edition to tear down any last shred of resistance you might harbor. Well, at least for 24 customers in Thailand, where the bike was conceived and where this very limited edition was sold out in short order. This Ducati Thailand project echoes the GT750 V-twin superbike that Paul Smart rode to victory in the 1972 Imola 200, all the way down to the vertical bronze strip on the gas tank meant to mimic the clear fiberglass that served as a kind of gas gauge. 
Sure, mixing the vintage roadracer with the Scrambler vibe is a little weird, but the colors are classic and it works like magic, down to the brown leather seat and number-plated tailsection featuring Smart’s racing number (16). Icing on the cake was having Smart himself at the “delivery” party in Bangkok, there to hang out with the owners and to personally autograph every bike. Sadly, Ducati USA has no current plans to offer such a bike here and, in fact, found out about the bike only because of our inquiry! I guess we’ll have to keep shopping around for the Paul Smart 1000 LE Sport Classic we can’t afford used anymore.
