The bespoke Ducati replica features parts sourced from the KTM RC 390 and the Duke
The Hero Karizma R was a celebrated motorcycle back in its glory days and was discontinued in 2017 after Hero Cycles and Honda Motor Company’s partnership ended in 2010. But although the Karizma R is not for sale anymore, it still has a lot of takers in the used motorcycle market.
But, the owner of this Hero Karizma R did not want to sell his motorcycle and decided to modify and give it a new lease of life instead.
So Madhya Pradesh-based Dirt-Machine Custom Motorcycles took complete responsibility and transformed this motorcycle into a Ducati Scrambler replica. And we must admit they have done a neat and quite impressive job of transforming the old Karizma R into a Ducati Scrambler within a limited budget.
The bike features many premium parts like upside-down forks, a rear monoshock, and swingarms sourced from the KTM Duke and RC 390.
The bike gets many aftermarket parts like the LED head and taillamp
The highlight of this model is its handcrafted replica fuel tank. The bike modification team has paid a lot of attention to detail to build the fuel tank. Even the front, rear fender, single-piece seat, and side body panels are handcrafted and resemble the original Ducati Scrambler motorcycle.
The bike modifiers have even taken care of every minute detail while fitting the aftermarket side turn indicators, offset-based semi-digital instrument cluster, and the LED head and taillamp so that they match the exact appearance of the Ducati Scrambler.
The Ducati Scrambler replica still retains the original 223cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that powered the Karizma R
The bike modifier did not provide any detail about the powertrain, but we believe there are no changes made to the motor. The Ducati Scrambler replica still retains the original 223cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that powered the Karizma R. The engine in its best shape produced around 19.2 bhp and 19.35 Nm of torque while paired to a 5-speed gearbox.
