Ducati Scrambler weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is on the lighter side for a road motorcycle. The advantage is usually most obvious while parking, maneuvering at walking speed and moving the bike around off the engine. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Ducati Scrambler is lighter than about 81.7% of 52 Ducati sport bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 3.01 US gal (11.4 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 18.7 lb (8.5 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Ducati curb-weight specification.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 8.16 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.

Ducati Scrambler weight FAQ

How much does the Ducati Scrambler weigh?

The source data gives 330.7 lb (150 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

How does the Ducati Scrambler weight compare with similar Ducatis?

Relatively light. On a model-level comparison, it is lighter than about 81.7% of 52 Ducati sport bikes with the same weight basis.

Are all Ducati Scrambler model years the same weight?

The supplied comparable weight values do not show a meaningful change across the 1968-1969 years covered here.

What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Ducati Scrambler?

A full tank works out to about 18.7 lb (8.5 kg) from the listed 3.01 US gal (11.4 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

What does the Ducati Scrambler weigh with a 180 lb rider?

The approximate combined total is 510.7 lb (231.6 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.

Is the Ducati Scrambler strong for its weight?

The calculated range is 8.16 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone. That places it around the 23rd percentile within the compatible Ducati sport power-to-weight comparison.

How much heavier will the Ducati Scrambler be than its dry weight?

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 349.4 lb (158.5 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.

What is the estimated Ducati Scrambler weight with a full tank of gas?

Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 349.4 lb (158.5 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.

How much of the Ducati Scrambler total weight comes from fuel?

Fuel accounts for roughly 5.7% of the available motorcycle weight figure. On lighter bikes that share can be surprisingly noticeable.
