The Ducati Scrambler is an obvious fit for ?casual? flat track racing. Ducati even made a ?Flat Track Pro? limited edition in 2016, which was essentially a new version of the Full Throttle with wide bars, a bunch of minor trim changes and a Temignoni muffler.
It looks like Ducati is now digging deeper into flat track territory: it?s commissioned a pair of flat track-style Scramblers from one of our favorite French builders, Bad Winners.

In his Paris workshop, Bad Winners? head honcho Walid created two bikes?a race machine based on the original Scrambler Ducati sans front brake, and a road-friendly version based on the beefier new 1100.
At the Wheels & Waves festival earlier this month, the bikes pulled in the crowds and took pole position on Ducati?s ?Land Of Joy? stand. We?re not surprised: we reckon the stock Scramblers are good-looking bikes, but Walid has lifted them to a whole new level.
First, the 800. This is a bona fide flat tracker, with the front brake removed and a set of Excel 19-inch rims installed?shod with Dunlop DT3 rubber, of course. All the usual road-legal ancillary items are gone, and there?s a minimal new wiring loom that covers just the basics.
The suspension is stock, however?but should work reasonably well on the track. Most Scrambler owners would call the ride ?firm? anyway, and find it more comfortable when carrying a pillion.

Ergos are taken care of with grippy Ducabike foot pegs, and Gilles Tooling risers to lift and rotate the bars ...
