New Ducati scambler.

But it looks like it has 17" street tires, that's not going to cut it on the grass. :roll:

I wish they would build a 250/350/450 single like they used to, but better.
Desmo, fuel injected, single shock, etc.
Street, dual purpose, and enduro.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

It definitely doesn't have 17" tires, at least not at both ends. The front rim is clearly larger than the rear rim.

Edit: I didn't realize that the photo you linked us to is still just a guess by the magazine, so we don't know what it will really be like.

Back in August, this is what they were speculating it might look like:

Boy, wouldn't that have been cool?

Yep, that is what a motorcycle should look like.
