What model/year is that Simon?

What do we think of this new scrambler-based Ducati 73 'retro'?

I saw this a week or so back and my initial impression was wow but that was somewhat tempered when I read it was just a Scrambler in a nice frock. Expensive for its performance. Better value was the Paul Smart Ltd Edition

Thanks Rob. Oops sorry. It’s an R12S. First launched spring of last year. It’s basically a R12 NineT (the replacement to the RNineT) with the full Option 719 kit (billet aluminium components), a bikini fairing, unique to model anodised silver aluminium rims (tubeless with Metzler M9 tyres) and a unique to model paint job that harks back to the R80S of 1974/5. No option to lower the spec/cost either.

There’s a YouTube channel down your way called Biker Torque, they gave it their bike of the year FWIW
