WE published a video of a real Russian encounter between bikes and a bear a few weeks ago but this one is slightly harder to fathom.
It looks like a viral ad – unless we’re mistaken and bears in Russia have really taken to riding Ducati Scramblers – and appears to be linked to a firm that sells wheels and tyres for cars. Nope, can’t quite see the connection there. But the fact it’s garnered nearly three million views on YouTube suggests they’re doing pretty well out of it.
A Ducati UK spokesman said: 'It's not a viral ad from Ducati Motor Holding. They are investigating. They think it might be something that a Russian dealer may have done.'
