Been watching Triumph scramblers videos for a long time. This is the only video that i watched every second of it. So many details. Gear change, traffic drive, highway drive, breaks, even mirrors, seat and passenger feel, real mpg, driver feel, night drive, day drive, off road or slippery road? Felt like i own it already. All questions answered. Big thank you sir!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Glad I could be of help!

@wltrlg Год назад

One big advantage over the Bonneville: no exhausts blocking the chain for maintenance 👍🏻

@anonamos225 6 лет назад

These are the BEST kind of reviews for the everyman. This is the kind of thing you just won't can't get unless you've had some time with it. And it really addresses what it's like to live with the bike. Performance numbers are great and all, but it's like deciding to marry a woman just on looks. How good she looks and what she's like to live with are two different things entirely...

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

You sound like you speak from experience??? Women eh!? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em....

@aaronlanney3509 7 лет назад

MissendenFlyer.. Just want to say that your reviews are fantastic and your attention to detail and delivery is top notch. Well done sir. I have the new 2017 Street Scrambler in our favourite green and I smile every time I ride it. Love this machine and agree with almost all of your comments in your review. The bike I have came as standard with lockable filler cap and it adds to the high end finish of the bike. It's one sexy fuel cap! Also.. I have taken my scrambler on a few excursions off-road and the trick is to always turn off the ABS and Traction Control first. Then it's a bit more fun. Nothing too extreme though as this is a bike for the road 99% of the time. I have thought about customising my Scrambler but feel that it just ticks all of the boxes for me right now as it stands. I have taken my wife on the back on one occasion and she was fine, although it was a short trip and too be honest.. I'm more than happy that it's not so passenger friendly... if you get my drift?...lol Overall... this is one lovely piece of kit and a joy to ride. I'm a Brit living in Norway and to be able to ride on the most beautiful of scenic roads during the summer months is a pleasure to behold on this lovely machine. Triumph really did a great job with this bike. Bugger to clean though as you rightly explained. Anyway... I better shut up now and just close by saying that anyone considering this bike as an option, go test it. You won't be disappointed... and MissendenFlyer.. keep up the great work as your reviews are an absolute joy. Best wishes one and all..!!!

The heat shield on the exhaust was a concern of mine. Seeing your confidence in it gives me more confidence going forward. I will be setting up a test ride soon. Thanks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Wow, thank you very much Tiago!

@jamiewatters5355 5 лет назад

Thanks TMF great review. I bought one and after a year of hard riding I have no regrets. It’s a feel good bike that is easy to put your own stamp on. I did tail tidy, rear LED indicators, side Number plate, Tec shocks progressive front springs and the Tec fork top adjusters oh and a luggage rack. Will do decat, bench seat, LED indicators, lane spliter bar ends and mx style rear fender in the spring. I think I’ll ditch the rack in favour of the overall MX look. The one factory extra I’d recommend above all else is the heated grips. I rode it last week in -1 and the grips made it just bearable! The exhaust is great on cold days and not much bother on hot days. Get one make it yours and share it with the world.... You’ll put smiles on lots of faces, especially yours!

One other plus : Haviing the high pipes makes getting at the chain ajustments a breeze .. Thanks for the great clip .. I have 3 months and 4K miles on mine . It is great on washed out gravely roads ..

@forrestculver7301 6 лет назад

I have to say I’m really impressed with the Bonneville engine. I have a 2012 SE and I love how the engine works. Like you say no need to worry about changing gear and plenty to give at the top as well. I’m a big man (6’1” 260lbs) and I can cruise quite comfortably at highway speed at 4000rpm

@hulsfamcalcan 6 лет назад

Gotta say I've had the the Metlzer Tourances on both the Bonnie and the Tiger and I've gone on gravel and fairly rough fire roads in western Canada with no problems.

@KrisMOTO23 7 лет назад

Great review TMF, had mine since beginning of April absolutely love it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Do you agree with my findings?

@KrisMOTO23 7 лет назад

To be honest, yeah pretty much spot on. What I will say though, its got slightly more off road capability than most give it credit for. I'm probably one of the few owners of these who bought it with the intention of taking it off road. Yeah, it will never compete with proper dual sports and the like but turning the abs+tc off and its doable and damn good fun.

@keithholmes4931 7 лет назад

Last year, after many years of riding midrange and heavy “adventure” bikes, rather than the usual 50/50’s, 60/40’s and even 80/20’s I spooned on a set of 90/10’s - first Michelin Pilot’4s and recently their Pilot 5 Trails. Wow. They are magic on pavement and off-pavement roads. They transformed the feel of the bike. Unless you’re really doing heavy off road riding, I’d highly recommend trying the Pilot 5’s.

@FLY--wy2yi 7 лет назад

TMF, great review as always! These new Triumphs are so awesome! Just jumped off the T120 after an hour long ride on the Long Island Expressway! The new Bonnie engine is music to my ears at 70 MPH! That Scambler is garage ART! Keep those reviews coming my friend!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Will do - you're going to like my next video on Wednesday :0)

@davidwaller2179 6 лет назад

I've had mine now for close to two weeks and still running it in. While I haven't put in enough saddle time to warrant a comprehensive review my grin says it all. It's a fabulous bike, nimble and zesty with more than enough power for its type and such absolute fun.

Bit late but a Great review. I rode one about a year ago and had my GoPro on while riding. When I watched the video I realised I had been giggling to myself. Love the bike but 9k + is a lot of money compared to other bikes. In a year or two I can see one of these replacing my old 1200 Bandit in the garage.

@andydavies570 4 года назад

Great advice as usual. Thanks.

@timholt2907 Год назад

Odd theres no locking cap. Iv just been watching my own video of this same bike also on a 17 plate and it had one. Loved it. Great review as always. Now here in 2022 your videos make a great reference to look back on. Keep up the good work.

@Phil480 7 лет назад

Good to see what it's like over time rather than just an hours test ride. Sounds like they've improved the heat shielding. On mine on the hotter days it does get a bit too warm, not enough to burn but enough to be uncomfortable. I've got 2 years to decide if I want to upgrade to this one or not haha. Thanks for the video TMF

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I know you love your Scrambler Phil, but I think you'll really love this new one, I'm very very very tempted (trouble is I have the T120 in the garage at the moment, and boy is that good too!!)....all the best matey - TMF

Great video TMF as always - what a luck chap you are getting to borrow all these triumphs... I'm loving the new models, they are really going from strength to strength. When it comes time to change my GS, BMW are going to have a fight on their hands to keep my loyalty. Sitting here in snowy scotland wishing I was riding but using the time to catch up on your reviews - Keep up the good work!

Tell me about it Scott! Try filling up an aeroplane with aviation fuel in the UK, that'll make your eyes water....

@trevorogden7420 Год назад

always my favorite motorcycle reviews :) im torn between the street scrambler and the bobber

@Hackenbushinski 7 лет назад

Great review indeed, like the others... I am/was torn between all these new Triumph retro models - I'd like to own each of them. However, price difference is significant between the 900 and 1200 ccm models here in Austria (around 3k€ between T100 and T120) so glad to hear that one will be quite happy with one of the smaller models, I narrowed it down to Scrambler vs. Bobber - and while I find the looks of the Bobber perfect, I was kind of hooked when I saw the green Scrambler with the brown seat - so your review helps me lean towards the Scrambler now - good for the wallet :) Cheers!

7 лет назад

Great video as always! I have a recommendation to make :). Your longer reviews are great, as they give a better insight about the bike in much deeper and day to day case scenarios, but also due to the longer video, it's easy to get a bit lost and get a overall picture of the motorbike. Suggestion: create a score system for your reviews ranging from 1 to 5 for each category you can through. For example. Street riding: 4 stars Night riding: 5 stars Maintenance: 3 stars Cleaning : 5 stars And so on.... This will also help the viewers to compare more easily different motorbikes based on your review. Great stuff mate and good luck!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind comments and for the idea...I'll think about it! Cheers - TMF

@stevenbatley8666 3 года назад

@jezlanejl 6 лет назад

I think many times people underestimate their tyres. I remember a few years back i was riding a tsx125, its was a dirt kindda bike with big knobbly tyres. It had been snowing rather alot and were very icy conditions. As i approached a major roundabout i bottled out and decided i would walk the bike round. As soon as i got off and started walking i slipped up on the icey pavement. This kept happening so I got back on the bike and it managed the roundabout fine. I concluded from this that its safer to ride than it is to walk, that's what i keep telling my other half anyway... ;)

@bikedaft1611 2 года назад

I just had a sit on one of these, I’m 6ft 2” and 18 stone. And didn’t feel too big for it. I’ve been looking at a few different bikes for my 40th next year. I think this bike may become a contender. Very nice looking bike

@phils2180 2 года назад

I'm on my 2nd one of these (first one got stolen an written off) and love it to bits. I'm 6'3"/17 stone and find it fits perfectly. It's not particularly light, way too heavy for off road work but it carries the weight well on the road. I bought this as a 3rd bike but it's become my 1st bike of choice, it's so nice to ride👍.

@bikedaft1611 2 года назад

@Shining_Whit 7 лет назад

Great review as always TMF. I am still hankering after one of these as I found it to be so much fun (bit like yourself). Have a word with Triumph when you take the bike back, it should have had a locking fuel cap as standard like the T100 etc. I got 61.7 mpg riding it normally. 150 miles on a 12 liter tank is very frugal indeed!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes odd that, perhaps the original locking one got pinched! :0)

@paulmorris3022 3 года назад

My local garage is Tesco, but i find i don't get as many miles to the tank compared to when i fill up at Asda where it seems to go further. strange

@Wolf-mx7xx 2 года назад

Hello from Texas! Really enjoyed your review. Do you, (or anyone) have any suggestions for handguards for the Street Scrambler. Strangely, I simply cannot find any kit that does not require an odd assortment of parts, hacking, grinding, etc. for them to fit. Any thoughts would be helpful. Cheers.

@briansteele2723 6 лет назад

Great review. How did the high exhaust affect your pillion? Any problems with heat for example?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

@siddharthaiyappa5583 5 лет назад

I really think your review is natural and real!! Not inspired by poems or quotes, its about the bike and your ability to not get carried away, makes you brilliant . I just didn't get one part of it, maybe your accent that I couldn't comprehend. What did you mean when you spoke of the off road capabilities of this bike, did you mean it was ill advised to use this for off road condition often?

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Yeah that's basically it - you can go off-road but really it's a style over function thing on the Triumph as far as I'm concerned....

@davidpisciotta1552 5 лет назад

I like this bike and the Street Cup, having an older Bonnie 79 to be exact and cafe style I really enjoy that as well. But...my commute has changed and mornings require 30 mile highway drive (can’t seem to get up early enough) and the ride home I can take back country roads. My 79 does not prefer the highway but like the country roads a lot ! The question is since you have experienced both bikes which of the two would you prefer with my type of riding? I hear a small flyscreen screen on the scrambler does wonders. But the street cup is the riding style I’m most use to.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

I’d take the scrambler any day....

@mjs.910 5 лет назад

@MADEekaMouse 7 лет назад

Don't know where you find the time TMF, but a great review as always. I was put off this bike by the tyres, not the look but the fact that I would be using it entirely on the road (as I suspect most people would) and would want something with a bit more grip. It seems I needn't have worried.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Those tyres are just fine on the road, not so much off-road though!

@jamyp4242 7 лет назад

Thought you'd like this over some of the others in the retro range, it's a nice upright riding position and tons of fun! So which out of the retro bikes would it be if you HAD to change the street triple?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Jamy P At the moment a toss up between this (for its brilliant comfort, ride and handling) and the T100 (for its classic looks)...struggling to choose between the two!

@pistolpete6321 7 лет назад

Great review mate! I had 2 questions but you answered them both. I was wondering about pillion comfort and how well the exhaust heat shield worked. Thanks for doing such a thorough review! Seems like a great bike but for the about the same price you can get the new Ducati Desert Sled which can actually go off road. I wonder if Triumph may have their scrambler slightly over priced Vs the Ducati?

Morning fella, cracking review! Bought one and waiting for it to arrive however slightly concerned of stories regarding the brushed aluminium parts going spotty, did you notice this at all? I’m worried about the spokes and rust too. Hopefully some TLC will stop any of that in its tracks though

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

I didn't notice it on this one but I did on the Bobber and the T120's I borrowed, it does seem to be a problem on these bikes, if it were me I'd get it either lacquered or swapped out for a black case....what a pain!! Great bike though...congrats!!

@TomBoeckxRavels 7 лет назад

Great video mate! I'm planning on buying one next month. One question I have for you, what "blower" do you use for drying the bike? Where did you buy it? Can you use any regular leaf-blower or is it something specific for motorcycles? Thanks a lot!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I use one of these bought from Amazon amzn.to/2foCdLt

The new 2021 Scrambler must be a peach with the engine updates.

@rickparkinmoto 2 года назад

I got one recently. It is a peach. The new Brembo up front is progressive and has plenty of stopping power. On paper it's one of the lower powered bikes I've owned, but the way it delivers all that torquey goodness is perfect for real world riding. It's definitely one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned, and puts a huge grin on my face every time I ride it.

@motordave1123 6 лет назад

Great vids! So in the upcoming summer I'll be getting a new bike. Bonneville T100, T120, or Scrambler .......which is your favorite?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Toss up between T120 and Scrambler, probably the T120 but it's ever so close....

@siyouell7378 5 лет назад

Hello, many thanks for a great review. I`m so close to buying one of these... Would you kindly let me know your thoughts on the heat shields. Do they actually work as Triumph say they do? I`ve read slightly mixed reviews (although no-one has actually ended up with a burned leg!!)..... so I`m slightly concerned of making the wrong decision. Many thanks

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

I didn't have an issue put it that way!

@threepot5874 7 лет назад

I'd be interested in this as a replacement for my tiger. Shame their not made in the UK?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+threepot As long as the quality is there what difference does it make where they're made??

@tsav6952 7 лет назад

It's a looker no doubt and sounds like a hoot to ride. On a side note your roads on that side of the pond are so narrow. Big pick up trucks wouldn't work so well like they do on the this side of the pond. Another enjoyable review! Cheers!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+T Sav I think petrol prices here rule out big pickup trucks as much as anything else!

@Oliver-co7xl 4 года назад

What would be the annual costs for that bike or the street or speed twin. I would love where Triumph bikes are compared to Honday cb650r or Suzuki SV650. Thx

@tommyleddy8728 Год назад

Greetings, I love the look of this bike. But my question is do you feel much heat on your right leg or thigh? I believe it’s oil cool motor but I’m not too famous with it. Cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer Год назад

No, heat wasn’t an issue for me…

@reidguthrie9818 6 лет назад

Great review! What's with the zig-zag lane markings in town?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

If they're up to a crossing it denotes a no overtaking zone (I think!).....

@jrh186 4 года назад

Great review always Andy, thank you. Did you manage to review the new 2020 version of this bike yet? Cheers Jase

No I haven't....so many bikes, so little time!

@lukaszsmialowski843 5 лет назад

I think this bike started coming to life with the vance and hines decat exhaust, no db killer - sounds lovely and drives much better. With the additional accessories you can style it to your likening. Apart from the looks, it is so much fun to drive. You cant push it much past 120 km /h as it is a naked, so the engine has more than enough to offer. I wouldnt go offroading on it, but it offers something in this area as well All in all, it is a great bike. I love it

@jozeflechvar7133 6 лет назад

Hello TMF, great review. Do you recommend this bike as a first bike for a beginner? I have no experience with riding a bike, however, I would like to buy this one after passing my driving test. Thank you for your advice.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

+Jozef Lechvar It wouldn’t be my first choice but no real reason why not - just take it easy to begin with and you’ll grow with the bike - lovely machine....

@Surefire11B 6 лет назад

You'll be surprised how fast you confidence and skills can grow after you start riding so it's not so much a question of whether or not a bike is for beginners. Just a question of how confident do you feel? Any moderate bike is fine as a first bike. Go with what you want to be riding rather than what someone says is a "beginner" bike. :) Good luck. (I started on a 2010 Thruxton 900 and then a 2017 Ural Gear Up.)

@pickledawg453 7 лет назад

Does the exhaust shield ever get hot on long trips? That's my main concern with this bike. Great video, love your long term reviews.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Nope, the heat shield is a thing of great wonder, can put your hand on it after a ride and you don't burn yourself....

@pickledawg453 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer Cheers!

@shmac96 5 лет назад

Do you think its worth the money? Even as a first bike and potential long termer? Im not looking to go fast. You have a longer inseam than I do but I'm taller....did you find that when sitting on the bike with the stock seat that the hardness of the side of the seat dug into your inner thighs? Was at the dealership today and the hard ness of the seat dug into my inner thigh. Im 5'11" with 30 inch inseam. Thought that odd but I suppose the bench seat accessory could be more comfortable? Love your reviews and love what you do! Thank you!

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

I didn't have any issue with the seat but as you say there are various versions available so worth experimenting....and yes - I do think it's worth the money, great bike!
