Ducati is an Italian motorcycle manufacturing company famous for its SPORTS MOTORCYCLES. The Ducati Scrambler is one of the oldest Ducati motorcycle series, being introduced in 1962 and remaining in production until 1976. Initially, it had a 250 cc engine until it went through several upgrades until it finally had a 450 cc engine. In 2015, the Scrambler series was revived with an 803 cc variant and a 400 cc variant, with both still in production. In 2018, the Ducati launched a bigger 1,079 cc Scrambler model that is also still in production.

Harley Davidson is one of the oldest American motorcycle manufacturing companies. It is famous worldwide because of its traditional-style heavyweight cruisers with large engines. In 2014, Harley Davidson launched two unique cruisers known as the STREET 500 and the STREET 750. These motorcycles have a smaller engine size, are lighter in weight, and are also cheaper than most other Harley cruisers. However, despite their uniqueness, these Street models were eventually discontinued.
