@@KrisMOTO23 Do you have a bigger now?... I'm assuming if you do you've turned it into a stunner! If I'd have known you were selling this I'd have bitten your hand off! 😂
I couldn't disagree more about the LOOKS of that seat. The stock seat looks way better. If you feel it's more comfortable to you, great. But don't try to sell the look, it's bad. If the stock "pillion?"...(puss pad) is to uncomfortable (I've seen way worse), they'll just have to walk.
At around 5.43 mins, you show the original pipe with the silencers off, I assume you had to grind these off. Looks like it would be pretty simple to make these into the guy martin style shotgun exhaust with some pipe and a bit of welding. To like the Total Triumph setup.
Amazing video still after 6 years. Last month I have bought a second hand Tiumph Scrambler 2010 Green Khaki with 12.000km. Basically new. It's the same as the Jurassic World model. I am putting on the Arrow 2:1 next week. Before getting the Scrambler I tried the new Moto Guzzi V7 850 and the Ducati Scrambler 800. The Guzzi has a bike engine, nice torque, comfortable and light. For me the Ducati scrambler was uncomfortable, too thin and did not gave me the thrill. The I tried the scrambler... in 10 meters I had already made my choice. The position is amazing, it's comfortable and it has the right engine I was looking for. The only "issue" is that it's too heavy sometimes and you need to think carefully where and how you're parking. I am 169cm (5.55ft), sometimes when I am on the bike and I want to push the bike back it's basically impossible. This is the only situation when I think of swapping it with a Bonneville. But it's 1min thinking of swapping vs the rest of the day enjoying the ride. My next upgrade will be front break or rear shocks, I think Triumph went too cheap on that. Any suggestion regarding rear shocks? Many people say "Get the Holins!". yes, they are nice but it's overkilled on this bike. I guess TEC or YSS or Bitube will make it. Have you ever lowered your bike by 1-2 inches? Maybe putting 340mm rear shocks?
Hey man love the videos. Just wondering if you had any trouble installing the Kriega drypack? I fitted my vitpilen with one recently and it was quite tricky. I imagine it’s pretty straight forward tho since you didn’t do an install vid unless I missed it. I wanna surprise my brother and install it on his street scrambler so any tips would be saweeeeet
Hello ! This is THE video i'm looking for.. I want to buy one on those two bikes exactly. And for the same use :) Can you tell me more about those two bikes ? Which one is good for off road ? reliability, power, ground clearance, mass distribution (for wheeling) thanks you ! :)
It changes a lot. Tbh at the minuet I'm riding mostly in the new Rev'it dirt series jacket and jeans with alpinestars Toucan boots. In this video the jacket was a Rev'it Sand Urban really nice jacket 👌
Enjoyed all your videos and you have certainly proved the ability of the previous street scrambler you had I just wanted some help on choosing luggage eg number if kreiga bags and sizes for touring make and size of the dry bag and make and size of the single touring bag designed for the street scrambler. I have decided to swap my tiger 800 xrt for the new 900 as less power but great for the lakes and dales 👍 look forward to your reply and future bids re 1200 best Regards Alan from Lancashire
Alan, this is the longest time ever it has ever taken for a reply but. best size for kriega bags in my opinion is a main 20 ltire and 2 10 litres. you can buy that as a combo kit and its absolutley brilliant. had them over 5 years now and still going strong!!
Have you put many miles on your bike? I'm trying to decide between a Tenere 700 and Scrambler 1200 XE but just wondering about reliability of the Triumph with all those electrics, and haven't seen many with high miles! Great vids by the way :)
11070 at last count. Pleased to say I've had no electronic problems with my bike. And nothing too major that I deemed as unreliability. I've had some parts changed under warranty. Such as a LH switch cube that had sticky buttons, a LH fork tube that had some paint rubbed off and the only big one was a set of new rear shocks, as the inner plastic sheath on the shock had totally worn away. Apart from that totally brilliant bike
Hi mate. Im not sure prices or booking I was part of a large group booking etc. if you head to the Triumph website I think there is a link to the offroad experience site with prices etc. well worth doing, sooo much fun.
Well I’m off to go sit on one tomorrow just to try for size, torn between ZE and XC so many green lanes up here around Durham, Slaley Forest, Cheviots, North Pennines, so hopefully will have my mind made and planning some routes, booked for ABR festival in June fingers crossed COVID wise and now bike wise too, the Tracer 900 GT is great but just not my style. Looking forward to more of your videos, who knows may join you in a ride out. First Kriega US 10 purchased on eBay too. Thanks for recommendations.
Seriously thinking of getting the triumph scrambler xe. I know that this is a different bike but could you tell me what luggage bags you use/size on a camping trip also what’s it like when touring, I’d prefer this to a Tiger. Thanks
Get one!! I pretty much use the same setup on the 1200 as I did on the street scrambler. Mainly concists of 2xUS10 litre Kriega bags and one US20 litre bag and then a roll bag on the rear rack. Depending on how long the trip is I have a 30l roll bag or a 50L. That gives me upto 90l to carry pretty much everything I need for 10+ days with max capacity and I've done that on the 900. I'm a big advocate for the Kriega gear, it's 100% best luggage I've used and it's lasted me years and has never failed once. I had a tiger 800 great bike just a bit dull. Get a scrambler!
@@KrisMOTO23 thanks, you’re videos have just about nailed it, waiting for restrictions to lift then it’ll be ride to Triumph Newcastle and see what deal I can get for my tracer 900Gt just not my style. Will update you and hopefully see you on the roads or green lanes. Just one thing I seen decat the pipes does this effect the emissions when going for MOT?
Tbh Im not totally sure I'm a wee bit shorter than you at 5'9, and for me it was relatively comfortable for what it is and I did some loong days on that bike
