2017 Triumph Street Scrambler Review - I've been waiting to ride the new for 2017 Triumph Street Scrambler ever since it was announced earlier in the year. I loved the old air/oil cooled Bonneville Scrambler and had high hopes for this new bike, but will it live up to them? Stay tuned to find out...

I bought my Street Scrambler based on your review and have owned it for the last 5 months and all I can say is " I Freakin Love it!" Power where you need it, from the start. I upgraded the seat to the Bonneville T120 Comfort seat and changed the mirrors to bar-end mirrors for a lower profile. It is a like a pair of your 'ol jeans... it just fits!!

@ashw5487 3 года назад

Looking to get me one Johan! Owned several triumphs, most ADVs, but craving a scrambler!!:)

@The33JAYJAY 7 лет назад

I drove past that pub yesterday and thought of you doing a review and 24 hours later here's a review!! Great looking bike and sounds lovely. I'm not really into the Retro bikes but I do like that and also with the bonus of short seat height. Excellent review as always TMF, all the best.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks as ever The33JayJay, good to know you're out there...

@huwlewis9153 7 лет назад

I couldn't wait for your review. I bought one 3 weeks ago. It's lovely.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Hehe, well done, you made a great choice....enjoy!

@JL-rc9ro 6 лет назад

Love your reviews dude! Watching these makes me want to catch the next flight to Heathrow and rent a Triumph and just chill for a couple weeks. Such beautiful scenery on your videos.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thank you J L - My mission is accomplished!

@lloydirving5697 6 лет назад

Bought this bike the min it was launched taking my deposit off a Ducati, never looked back. Currently away from home watching your video dying to get out on my bonnie. Transcends generations, real feel good bike.

@NameGoesHere341 5 лет назад

I lived in England years ago. I really miss those nice country drives. so pretty and relaxing.

@sjg6074 7 лет назад

I love these Scramblers, would have one tomorrow if I could. Great reviews, just started watching them recently and now I'm hooked. So clear and full of info, keep em coming. Also love the roads you find, I keep pausing to try and pick up pub names etc to find where your riding.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Great stuff S J - glad you're finding my efforts of interest.....all the best - TMF

Hello TMF ..Guy Wolff in New England here ..I have two days and 300 miles on one of these ..I just got off of 15 K miles and two seasons on a Yamaha 1700 road star.. My riding habits are 70% back, very bumpy, roads (DO you call those C roads ? ) 15% dirt roads and 15% highways (M roads ? ) ... I consider this bike a back-road roadster .. The suspension is a bit light but my feet are in the right place to stand (or Post) if I see something coming up and the bike is planted and stable in the twisties &.tall enough that I am not scraping pegs . It has enough pep and really more usable power on the highway at the 70 to 85 /90 when you have need than I had with the 1700 .. I love the light weight after the 750 pound Road Star as well .It is great at turning twisties into straight lines. The pipes are hot when you are in town traffic on a warm day (and the water cooling fan makes magic heat in stopped traffic ). Also I wish it had a larger gas tank but all in all it is a perfect bike for my use .. I will get a center stand, heated grips, a long flat seat and a real rack for rain gear or my banjo as the seasons go on .. Thanks for the great reviews on all these wonderful bikes .. If you want a real hoot give the Moto Guzzi V7 stone 111 a ride .. Welcome back to the 1970's ! If you are on FB you are welcome to friend me ..I have albums of pictures of riding in amazing country lanes here in New England .. Yours Guy

I'm new to motorcycles used to race Moto X when younger but look forward to purchase my first bike and triumph scrambler

@noelsatterley2996 6 лет назад

Steve Mcqueen rode Triumph scramblers .Good enough for the king of cool, good enough for any one. Lovely bike. 👍 👍 👍

@darbarrow1203 7 лет назад

Thanks for the review. I too was hoping you'd review one earlier to help me with a purchase. I ended up picking mine up in April and have since ridden over 2000 miles through France and Spain. I came from a Street Triple and wondered if I'd made an error - but I love the bike and its got plenty of power in the real world.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I agree, I really love this bike....making me think!

@FLY--wy2yi 7 лет назад

Great review TMF! Can't say enough about the new Bonneville engine!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yes it is a corker isn't it - power just where you need it...thanks for watching once again! - TMF

@ShipWreck68 6 лет назад

You sold me. Just the sound of it alone is what im looking for.

@pad759 7 лет назад

Great review...informative as always. I am looking forward to the "longer-term" review and what you think about the practicality of spoked wheels (tubed tyres!) -- with "off-roading" -- and the possibility of picking up a puncture...a rare occurrence but a potential show-stopper if you have to repair a tyre with inner-tubes.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Stay tuned! (you know me too well!)...

@IanHunter_idsk 7 лет назад

i bought the matt green one a month ago, and have done 700 miles so far. absolutely love it. bought after back to back test rides on this, the street twin then the T100. also tried 800 tiger (which at least has some wind protection) Both harley, bmw and Ducati turned their nose up at me when i turned up for test ride on 12 year old suzuki bandit! their loss!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Outrageous! Serves 'em right......good choice on the bike, I love the green ones.....

@robmitchell5737 Год назад

I have one of these. Owned for 4 years. De-catted and added shotgun exhausts as well as Triumph small screen and aluminium bash plate. It’s an absolute scream. So easy to ride in town and on highway, but it’s not a highway bike. Through the twisters it’s soooo good. Can’t get rid of it , it’s so good and very pretty. I am 1.75 and it’s perfect size.

@lukeoverthere1364 4 года назад

I really enjoyed your review. I love the look of this bike. I’ve only got a CBT at this point and am trying to get the courage to take my full test. Need some confidence first.

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Get some miles on a 125 and the confidence will come....

@phuchuynguyenhoang3224 7 лет назад

What a great review!!! Have you thought about doing a review of the 2017 MV Agusta Brutale 800, TMF? It looks stunningly beautiful, but I don't know how it performs. An informative review from you would be absolutely fantastic!!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I would love too - sadly I don't currently have access to MV Augusta bikes!

@ronanoboyle8432 6 лет назад

Great vid. I have the earlier 2012 with 865cc but still 270crank etc etc. so sweet exhaust note...especially with my Arrow can 🙂 Recommend you take the baffle out..naughty but v nice....

@timholt8141 7 лет назад

Love the Scrambler, took one for a test ride a few weeks ago and when i watched my helmet cam video i found i was giggling in several places. Brings a huge grin factor to riding. Tim ps, i found the brakes good. but then i ride a harley normally. :-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Actually the brakes weren't too bad in the end, I got used to them - defo better than the T100's brakes....

@samueltomasello8888 5 лет назад

You are the precise reason I bought a Royal Enfield classic 500

@RABLACKKNIGHTS 7 лет назад

Best most informative RU-vid reviews. Fact

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you very much :0)

@spetersonmusic 7 лет назад

I think Triumph hits every beat on all the new Bonnies and this one really looks great. It'll be interesting to see what quirks you find over your extended review.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Scott - stay tuned as ever!

@topgun8683 7 лет назад

You do nice reviews , that's why the dealers give you cool bikes to ride. keep up the good work !

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Thomas Evers Thanks Thomas, appreciate the kind words....

@ianwyrdness1380 6 лет назад

I borrowed one last week when my Thruxton R was in the dealer for some work. What a sweet bike! I was very pleasantly surprised. Like you say, the engine has real-world power just where you need it. It certainly doesn't feel underpowered at all. The brakes are OK. The standard Bobber has a woefully inadequate single disk, but the Street Scrambler's brakes had plenty of bite and were fine for this kind of bike. The bars weren't really to my liking as they were too wide to allow 'proper filtering' in London traffic. Otherwise they gave good leverage and the bike cornered very nicely. Suspension felt a bit 'budget' - I was expecting it to soak up bumps a bit better. Overall, it's a lovely bike, the 900cc engine is far stronger than the 54bhp suggests and it's really easy to ride. It's certainly in a completely different league to the old air-cooled Bonnies. I can imagine Street Scrambler owners grinning from ear to ear every time they ride it.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Yes I'm a huge fan of these, great bike....

@MADEekaMouse 7 лет назад

Cheers TMF, enjoyed your review as usual. Could you cover the tyres and exhaust in more detail on your in-depth review? What am i thinking of course you will...keep em coming, best channel on youtube imo.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you very much! ...I'll let you into a secret..I've already recorded the long term review (I record my videos generally several weeks, sometimes even months in advance)....

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Thank you!

@Shining_Whit 7 лет назад

Great review as usual TMF! I have been waiting for you to review this Bike since I borrowed one for a weekend a couple of months ago. I found the brakes fine for the weight of the Bike, the engine had more than enough power for normal to spirited riding and quite frugal with the go juice. Over 150 miles of mixed riding (read hooning) it returned 61.7 mpg! The riding position reminded me of my old SR500 Yam. The mirrors only showed any vibes over 75 mph and surprisingly I had no heat issues with the exhaust and it was a hot day. The standard system does indeed sound really good but I have since heard the Vance & Hines 2-1 and that is nigh on perfect! The tyres performed very well on the road, much better than I had expected. On the subject of tubed tyres, I got a puncture half a mile from home.......short push and into van to shop, new tube (£10 and a drink for the Tech) tyre ok with the culprit being a small panel pin! (went past a house that was having a lot of renovation work and later inspection of the road revealed quite a bit of debris including more of said panel pins....... Really did not want to take the Street Scrambler back and now trying to justify another Bike...... It really made me smile!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I know how you feel Pyro....this is a serious contender for a spot in the TMF collection I have to say! Thanks for watching and for stopping by - all the best - TMF

@Shining_Whit 7 лет назад

I thought you would like it. It would have to be a second bike though, as I still prefer the Tiger Sport for distance work.

@cynic150 2 года назад

Since the pipes are quite high on this, I would like to ask if there is any heat to the legs from them? Would this suit a tall person?

@nickbursey7684 6 лет назад

Great review mate... I upgraded my Mutt to the Street Twin in summer and loving it too. Triumph really did well with the 900 HT

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Nice one! Quite an upgrade eh?

@nickbursey7684 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer Yep, a natural progression I say :) Asthetics-wise anyway... Triumph is in the family so it was inevitable that id get myself one.

@johnDukemaster 7 лет назад

Lovely review, once again! The bike is quite nice...but the weight! It's heavier than the BMW Scrambler, and that's 1200cc and 110 horses. I know you said one can't feel it, but I'm sure one can feel if 30 kilos were to be removed! Keep up the good work! :-)

@AllBikesGreatAndSmall 7 лет назад

Test riding one on Saturday. Cant wait! Good review!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Enjoy!

@cyndeeandstevelinde2810 7 лет назад

What a great way to spend 15 minutes. Many thanks for all your efforts. I was wondering, as you have spent time on the 900 and the 1200 engine. How does the 900 go on a prolonged motorway ride? Does it hold the speed well? Is there anything left for an overrake, or is she a little breathless over 70?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

She holds her speed at 70 just fine, there is more to go, but I think you'll top out around 95 on the 900's....(I don't know that of course ;0)

@warren9667 7 лет назад

Awesome review of one of my favourite bikes! Thanks!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Warren Disney Thank you for watching Warren...

@johna6968 7 лет назад

Smashing little bike..

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Agreed - not so small either!

@lovenotfear-fp3gp 5 лет назад

I really want this bike but being 6'3 tall I think it's a bit small for me... BUT!! triumph are bringing out a bigger badder XE version for 2019 and the spec looks incredible. Please get hold of one for review when you can TMF!!! Cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Yes will do - thanks for watching.... TMF

@tsav6952 7 лет назад

A cool looking machine for sure! Have fun!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers and will do!

@paintup46 4 года назад

I love that Triumph listens to their customers.

@davidparsons7997 7 лет назад

Great review TMF. Always love your reviews and really like the honest and down to earth opinions. One thing I would say is I think you could have easily shaved 4-5 mins off the review to make it more snappy. Please don't take this as negative. I do like everything you say but think a bit of the road riding could be cut down just to make a sweeter/punchier finish to the video. Great bike btw, im actually considering this one.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Fair enough David, thanks for the feedback....

@a_tree5793 4 года назад

My dad is out on one of these right now actually

@AceBambam 5 лет назад

how's the heat from the exhaust on long drives?

@Sunnynotsofunny 4 года назад

hi, is the exhaust location an issue for the legs? does it heat up madly?

@GaryJohnWalker1 7 лет назад

Good review - sounds the most easy going new Bonnie so far (Bobber's small tank a hindrance there). Will be interesting to hear the next week or two's experience. Does anyone know if a change of pads noticeably improves the front brake feel/performance?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

TBH Gary that front brake is fine in use - seems much better than the Street Cup for some reason (maybe a bigger disc??)

@tinks43 7 лет назад

Sounds & looks good & great filtering! 👍🏻

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thanks as ever Cotti...

@impc2505 5 лет назад

Someday I'll have one of these

@AvidEnduro 7 лет назад

Great review. Thanks. That black is a beautiful package.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Avid Enduro Cheers - I think the green is the nicest colour...

@johncampbell4435 7 лет назад

Wasnt sure if it was this Triumph or the new Yamaha scrambler...youv'e made my mind up. Im off to get this one!! Make sure you tell them if you're on commision!!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+John Campbell I wish!!

@glennfryer1539 7 лет назад

Lovely bike !! Shame they didn't add on another disc upfront.... the display seems a bit pokey .... I do like it though, it's good that Triumph are accommodating and with the other dealers to view their range of bikes.....it give us all an opportunity to get good honest reviews on what's out there...

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

...actually Glenn you get used to the brakes, they aren't that bad - certainly I found them (oddly) superior to both the Street Cup and the Bobber....I wonder if the disc is bigger?

@Phil480 7 лет назад

Nice review as always. I loved taking this out, so much fun, and performs and handles better than the old one. However, I do prefer the looks of the old one. I'd definitely consider upgrading to the new one after my current PCP on the old one runs out.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I agree Phil, the old one looked a bit more macho, but as you say, just didn't ride as well as this - I'm 100% with you, the old looks with the new handling would be perfect...good to hear from you...trust you are well???

@Phil480 7 лет назад

Yes, very well thank you. I have recently replaced the tyres on mine for the Metzelers that are on the Street Scrambler. Makes a good difference on the road. 6k mile service is due now so I'm hoping they loan me the Street Scrambler for the day when mine goes in haha. Looking forward to seeing your long term review on this one :)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Stay tuned! :0)

@JLOSTAFF1 7 лет назад

Great bike and great review. It would be even better with T120 engine, dials and brakes though in my opinion. Cheers, Jon.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

100% agree!

@muzzmoto3881 7 лет назад

great review as always. Question for you. I'm torn over possibly buying the Bonnie T100 or the Street Scrambler. I love both bikes and I can't decide. I am yet to test ride either of them, but what would be your preference? cheers!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I have the same dilemma! Unable to advise at this time...I'm torn too!!! T100 looks great, Scrambler rides great....

@ceriabestsb3023 7 лет назад

Great review as usual TMF.Just wondering,can you carry a pillion on it? Looking at those exhaust, I'm not too sure about it though.Cheers.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yep you sure can....stay tuned for more on that...TMF

@ceriabestsb3023 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer can't wait for it,as usual..:).btw loved your reviews on the Street Triple RS.Absolutely brilliant.Top notch.

@imperialsecuritybureau6037 5 лет назад

CERIABEST SB yes, there’s one where I work so I’ve admired it quite thoroughly lol. The foldable foot pegs jut out from under where the exhaust is and there is a spaced, formed bit of plastic which shrouds the exhaust where a pillion’s legs would be. Looks comfy actually. And the seat is flat and very long... ample room for a passenger.

@tiagofontes100 6 лет назад

VERY GOOD SCRAMBLER! 💪

@eckesyang 6 лет назад

fairly in depth review. I haven't got a chance to get on the new scrambler yet but personally I prefer my 2015 scrambler, given that you've ridden both scramblers now can you please tell me which one you prefer? Btw I was gonna get the standard bonneville but changed my mind because of your review vid on the 2015 scrambler, and thank you very much for that.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

The new street scrambler is the better bike than the 2015 (which I loved) - it's lighter, more refined, better built - better in every way really.....

@volvosales 4 года назад

Getting back in to biking, last time in my teens early 20’s 250cc on provincial, I have my eye on three bikes, street scrambler, 1200xc or z900 rs, 6’2” given you have tested all what would you go for

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

z900rs

@peterjcoleman1185 6 лет назад

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching and for stopping by! All the best - TMF

@theurbanhippies5944 7 лет назад

Amazing review! From a touring perspective on terrain that has bad roads, would you recommend the Triumph scrambler or the Ducati scrambler? Please also factor in reliability of the bike and the chance of parts going bust.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+The Urban Hippies I'd take the Triumph every time - but then I'm a Triumph fan boy (hang on, I'm a Ducati fan boy too!!!)...

@waynecompton7612 7 лет назад

Good Evening TMF Thank you for the review ,Take Care.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Wayne.....

@roberthowerton5738 4 года назад

Hey, I was planning on getting a street scrambler for more of a long distance/touring use.. do you think the exhaust would eventually get too hot to tolerate over long distances?

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

No I don’t....

@emac417 7 лет назад

Recording is awesome 👏. Great review!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Thank you very much :0)

@ypirnay 6 лет назад

Hi TMF, Great review as usual; as little room for subjectivity as possible; factual and covers most aspects. Keep it up. One question, though: would you say this bike would be good for a returning biker? Cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thanks Yves - and yes absolutely, a great bike for the returning rider....

@ianwyrdness1380 6 лет назад

I'd say that it's pretty much perfect for a returning rider. It's extremely easy to ride, it tracks around corners brilliantly, the engine makes great 'real world' power without being overwhelming, and the grin factor is off the scale. Plus it looks really great.

@ypirnay 6 лет назад

Ian Wyrdness Thanks, Ian.

@shaunmcleod73 7 лет назад

Very enjoyable review 👍🏻

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

@martinfrost3596 7 лет назад

Still think that in the looks department, of all the retro Triumphs the Thruxton R has the edge, followed by the Street Cup (in Yellow of course)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

That's where you and I differ then Martin! :0) Thanks for watching and for stopping by - all the best - TMF

@christianshanerouse 7 лет назад

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

You never know Chris ;0)

@Tom-jc2fq 7 лет назад

Great review again. personally not a fan of the look of the high horizontal exhaust. that holed effect on it reminds me of the Honda rebel. Looks wise, not my cup of tea overall from front to back. excellent review though.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Greg - it's funny how tastes differ isn't it, I think the scrambler look is the best of all the retros....

@edtuller2537 7 лет назад

I Really like the Bobber Triumph Released here in the States .that is one sharp looking Bike.

Have you seen my reviews of it?

@michaelnicholson1084 7 лет назад

Thanks TMF for another great review. I'm in the fortunate position to be looking to buy a new bike in the next month or so and have narrowed it down to the T100 and Street Scrambler. I've ridden the T100 which, like you I really liked. I haven't had a chance to try the Scrambler yet but will do before i commit. As you've had a bit of time to spend with both these bikes I'm really interested to get your take on the comparison between the two. From my point of view i don't mind that the Scrambler has only limited ability off-road. Any advice your could give or perhaps even a video comparing the two would be much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Cheers

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Difficult choice - for me the choice would be between the T120 and the scrambler. Scrambler is a nicer ride I think but doesn't look as cool...

@michaelnicholson1084 7 лет назад

Thanks TMF, I'll definitely tee up a ride on the Scrambler before i pull the trigger on a purchase. Keep up the great, real world, average punter, honest reviews.

@1992bakerboy 3 года назад

Been thing of getting the scrambler after I pass my full licence. At 6ft 4, do you think it will be too small for me? Love the looks of the bike tho.

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

Possibly - great bike - best get a test ride though!

@Mike-er7ym 3 года назад

What power doe it have?

@KrisMOTO23 7 лет назад

Great first review TMF! Had mine for about 2 months now, I absolutely love it! Probably the most fun I've had on a bike. I've not had any problems with the front brake, for a single disc its not actually that bad. Also for a 12l tank you can get a fair decent range, Ive had 170+ miles out of a single tank riding at the speed limits. And as for anyone wondering about off road potential, its got it. I've been down a lot of gravel tracks, greenlanes, and fireroads on mine and its handles its self well offroad. could probably do with some better tyres though. One thing I have found out that isnt so good though, the front mudguard isnt actually the right size for the wheel I think it was probably a parts bin part off another street twin model, but in the wet water absolutely streams up off the sides of the mudguard out of the tread directly into your legs. Not ideal.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Cheers Kris - stay tuned for more videos soon, I think you and I concur on a lot of points!

@darbarrow1203 7 лет назад

KrisMOTO23 love mine too. Mine has averaged 69mpg over 2100 miles across Europe and I've nailed it around. Cost me just €100 for fuel across a 1700 mile tour. Also agree on green lanes etc, mines even hit a beach in Biarritz and green laned in Normandy. Once I got used to the front brake it's been fine and it's seen some action in London traffic.

@KrisMOTO23 7 лет назад

Awesome! I'm taking mine around Europe next month, probably going to do the same sort of mileage. So I'm glad its not gonna cost a bomb in fuel! :D Nice wanna try it on some sand myself I bet its fun!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

....new tyres required me thinks!

@ajaymistry1414 6 лет назад

Great review and stunning bike! What do you think about this bike for someone who has only just got their license?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Mmm, should be OK - personally I would start on something smaller lighter but the Trumpet isn't too much of a hooligan so take it easy and all should be well....lovely bike by the way.

@ajaymistry1414 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer thanks for the reply!

@triumphrider9796 7 лет назад

Damn, makes me wish I could afford another bike right now! (I have two Triumphs, an '02 T100 (Centenary Edition) and a '97 T595 Daytona.) About the only thing I wish were really different about the Bonnie is the front brake, don't know why there's no option for a second disc (EBC HH sintered pads do make it a lot better). Stock suspension was too soft too, but Race-Tech cartridge emulators and Ohlins handled that and I've done over 500 miles in a day on it, no trouble. Love the look of the Scrambler!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Me too....always room for one more bike in your life eh?

9 large, mental, horses for courses I guess, but that's £1k more than a new Street, lovely video as always, cheers TMF

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Very true, depends what you want your bike for, if it's to feel cool going slowly then the scrambler is for you. If you want fast agile thrills then save a grand and get the Street Triple....

@eddug4350 3 года назад

I’m 6’3 with a 32 inch inseam, wondering if I’d be as comfortable. Do you mind saying what your inseam is?

@TheMissendenFlyer 3 года назад

I’m a 32” - you’d be fine....

@leemacdonald6533 5 лет назад

I am thinking about buying a street scrambler, would it be suitable for a 6"3 rider?

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Hmm, I think so, but best to try one....

@alexandrehori 7 лет назад

Hi Sir! Can you tell me about exhaust heat in the leg ? thanks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

+Alexandre Hori None - the guard works very well!

@theincrediblesulk5543 4 года назад

TMF you obviously loved the scrambled but ended up buying a Interceptor. Would you the RE is more fun or better in anyway or was it purely cost decision

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Better value and more character (not to mention feels lighter)....

@karlhills6102 4 года назад

Love the videos 👍 have they changed much to now?

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 года назад

Nope - not that I'm aware of....

@dadwold 7 лет назад

Great review TMF as usual sir. Seems like your enjoying your retirement test riding all these lovely motorcycles. Tell me sir do you get discomfort of heat from the pipes being as your leg is over them.

@darbarrow1203 7 лет назад

dadwold I rode mine in 39c in France / Spain. I won't lie, the exhaust was a very slight pain at times but only when in traffic and at those temperatures, I didn't feel it over many miles. It's also a little warming on colder days :-)

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Actually surprisingly no - the heat shields are very effective, I've even put my hand on the shield whilst the bike was running, and whilst warm I certainly didn't burn my hand, it's not that hot...

@utubesei 7 лет назад

is the high positioned exhaust comfortable and doesn't heat up? what is your views on it?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yep comfy, and as I said in the film, the heat shield works really well....

@MrJpb2000 6 лет назад

If you had to choose between the Triumph Street Scrambler or the Ducati Scrambler Icon, which would it be?

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Triumph every time - I just don't get on with the Ducati Scrambler for some reason....

@MrJpb2000 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer yes I agree (although never had a test ride on either). On paper the Ducati's extra bhp is what appeals but then there's the low down high torque of the Triumph! Both look great. 👍

@thehungrytiger2608 5 лет назад

I’ve just passed my A2 and can’t decide between this, the street twin or the Bonneville T100. All will be restricted obviously, any thoughts?

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

I wouldn’t personally bother with the Street Twin, the other two are much nicer....

@thehungrytiger2608 5 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer Cheers for the advice, do you have a personal favourite? I’ve always wanted a Triumph and don’t want to choose the wrong one for my first bigger bike. Brilliant review btw!

@phonetic808 7 лет назад

Another great review thanks from nz

Thank you Jonathan, amazing that you're watching me all the way down there...got to love the internet!

@Vegesaurus7 2 года назад

Lately I’ve been looking for an upright cruiser that I could ride down along the beach roads here in Australia. So I was interested that you said this bike was like a cruiser. If you read this comment could you possibly comment on any bikes that are not cruisers but that look great and that you could cruise on them?

@TheMissendenFlyer 2 года назад

There are plenty in that category - any of the Triumph Bonnevilles, in fact any of the retro styled bikes.....

@Vegesaurus7 2 года назад

@@TheMissendenFlyer thanks. I was thinking that too. Appreciate your thoughts. I think one day I have to rent one and take it for a ride. 😀

@tgrey2555 7 лет назад

Anymore planned for the street triple rs, or have you handed it back?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

It's gone back now Tris....

@sudeepgowda1328 7 лет назад

hey TMF which bike should i go for the street triple RS+some accessories or speed triple S.BTW like the new logo

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I'd take the Street Triple every time (I did a "Street v speed triple" video on this subject a while back ).....and thanks!

@sudeepgowda1328 7 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer thanks a lot

Hey TMF, any chance you'll review the Kawasaki Versys 300 x?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Not whilst the local Kawasaki dealer isn't speaking to me (doesn't answer my e-mails or return phone calls)....I'll keep trying....

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

Another nice bike. Sensible road bike. Was that just normal traffic? No filtering here so would just have to sit in line.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Yup....I couldn't live with no filtering, that's half the reason for having a bike (to not get stuck in traffic)...

@hudsonrilke 7 лет назад

Yeah they're petitioning for it. That said, very little traffic outside of the big cities, so not a big issue for me.

@BN1960 7 лет назад

I had one of the very first original Scramblers back in March 2006. I couldn't get a test ride as there were none about when I ordered it. But when I got it, I hated it. I found it crude and uncomfortable...only kept it 6 months. Mind you, I think the Ducati Scrambler is awful as well for the same reasons. Wouldn't mind trying the new one as I'd love to become re-enthused about these Bonnies.

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

The new ones are a completely different beast, feels like a modern bike now and goes well too....

@robscherer 5 лет назад

Have you taken a peak at the 2019 versions? Thoughts on whether they are an improvement? I'm torn simply because of their new colors...they are no beuno lol (an opinion obviously).

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

I'm going to go and take a look now!

@robscherer 5 лет назад

The matte green and black from the 1st gen are awesome. I can't decide whether to pick up one of those in 2019 or opt for the new 2019 in white and then wrap the tank. Better brakes and additional power do make it tempting. New tech doesnt hurt either.

@TheMissendenFlyer 5 лет назад

Actually I quite like the 2019 matt green and aluminium.....

@robscherer 5 лет назад

Oh no! This is where we might have to part ways! Haha, just kidding. I want to wrap my next tank but I have no experience with that. I basically want to buy either the previous gen matte green or the new white Street Scrambler and black it out...and then basically ride the bike until it falls apart or I do. I will say the silver/green is better than the red!

Just wondering is your channel your main job as you seem to do a lot of bike reviews and MCN stuff? Are you sponsored?

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

Well it's not my "main job" in that I don't get paid for it other than a tiny amount from Google advertising - I just do this for fun (and no I'm not sponsored). I do however spend more time doing this than I do anything else....takes a lot of time coming up with this stuff!

@na_ma_ru6228 7 лет назад

Good stuff as always! Could you comment on the experience between this an a T100? (they seem very similar..) What might make someone pick one over the other? I sat on the scrambler a few weeks ago and the width and height of the bars felt a bit strange to me, but it looked great!

@TheMissendenFlyer 7 лет назад

I found the bars to be the most comfy of all the bonnie's yet - in fact that's the thing that would make me buy over a T100, a better seating position....although the T100 looks great...difficult choice!
