Ducati sport and super sport bikes often feature in racetrack photos with riders scrapping their knees on high-speed corners, but the Scrambler Ducati lineup has a celebrated tradition of off-road capable bikes that goes back to the early 1960s. Designed with the Rizoma motorcycle accessories company, the Scrambler Ducati 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition celebrates ten years of modern Scrambler models and emphasizes the individual styling possible with the Scrambler platform.

Rizoma’s specialty accessories and design enhancements emphasize the potential for individual self-expression of Scrambler Ducati riders. Ducati originated the Scramblers in response to demand from American riders for motorcycles that incorporated the performance aspects of European racing motorcycles with the spirit and capabilities of bikes that could be ridden anywhere, including the vast open deserts of the southwest, where scrambler-style motorcycles were popular.

The Scrambler Ducati lineup includes six different expressions of scrambler style, including the Icon, Icon Dark, Nightshift, Full Throttle, 1100 Sport Pro, and now the 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition.

What is special or different about the Rizoma Edition?

The 10th Anniversary Rizoma Edition highlights the range of accessories available for Scrambler Ducatis. Metal Rose finishes with black accents are an intentionally unusual colorway for a motorcycle that contrasts with the Stone White tank and mudguard. Scrambler Ducati expects this edition to be popular with collectors who consider it an artistic expression of the brand.

Limited to just 500 individually numbered units, the Ducati Scrambler 10th Anniversary Rizoma Edition will start at $15,000 at U.S. dealerships beginning in July 2025.

Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th anniversary: A limited edition with lasting appeal

You may have the money, and you may want it, but your chances of snagging this Miata are slim

Front 3/4 view of the Miata 35th anniversary edition

The Mazda MX-5 Miata has a strong following, and it’s very easy to see why. The little roadster, which has been around since the 90s, is affordably priced, easy to drive, and looks great on a summer’s day with the top down. It’s the accessible third car, designed for cruising around on a pleasant summer’s day without a care in the world. It’s also the gateway to competitive racing for plenty of people. Slap a roll cage and a fire extinguisher in a production spec Miata, and there are plenty of competitions you can enter with it. It’s still going to sting in the wallet department, it’s racing after all, but it’s noticeably less financially destructive than almost anything else. Plus, when repairs are needed (and they will be needed)

So how do you celebrate the Miata’s 35th birthday? Surely you’d need a vehicle that captures all of its good points. The fun, the flair, the exceptional handling, the style, and most of all the affordability. And you know what, Mazda may have done just that.
