At this point, you are probably wondering what happened to the rumoured Thailand-based production plans, right? Well it seems Ducati remains tight-lipped about the Scrambler’s production plans outside of Italy, but we are fairly certain the model will have its own assembly programme in Thailand soon.

Matter of fact, we would not be surprised if the Bologna-based two-wheeled institution has already quietly begun assembling the Scrambler in its ASEAN assembly plant located in Rayong, Thailand. Our speculations aside, we will bring you up to speed once that announcement is made official.

As a refresher, the Scrambler model is Ducati’s attempt at creating a new sub-brand designed to appeal towards the young and hip. In other words, this is the brand’s first proper crack at making a bike purely for the lifestyle enthusiasts instead of the traditional purist bikers crowd.
