2022 Triumph Street Scrambler | First Ride Review 

Having owned the 21 plate version of this for the past few months i can honestly say it's a great bike, looks amazing, sounds amazing and rides really well for the type of bike it is. Everywhere I go people can't help but look and talk about it, its great fun I honestly can't see me getting rid of it. Has so much accessorising potential also to make it more unique to you. Edit: having ridden it in the 40 degrees we just had I can confirm the exhaust on your leg is no problem whatsoever, its just warm but not unbearable.

Oi Dan! You're not short in the leg you're vertically challenged and that's OK. We're here for you.

I got the Sandstorm version last year. Absolutely love this bike! It has a massive grin factor and the low down torque is intoxicating. I traded in my Thruxton R for this as I'm 61 now and my back couldn't handle the Thruxton for much more than an hour at a time. I've ridden the Scrambler for long days with no comfort problems at all. The seat is long enough to move back and forth to keep things comfy. Within legal speeds this is a fantastic bike, and on the twisties I've surprised a few sportsbikes with just how well this can hustle. Looks-wise, for me, the Street Scrambler is the epitome of Triumph cool. My main gripes are: Rear suspension is harsh on uneven roads. You really feel the bumps. Rear tyre tread pattern - when you get to the edge of the tyre the gaps between the tread blocks get bigger and you can feel the back end drifting out. I know it's not a sports bike but it does handle well and better tyres should fix this. Triumph didn't put threaded holes for paddock stand bobbins on the swinging arm. I didn't want a centre stand so went with a TEC bobbin spindle that goes through the rear axle. I'm looking at changing the rear shocks, front cartridges and the tyres. I figure I''ll be keeping this one for a few years so it's worth throwing a bit of cash at to get it just right.

Saved up and bought the Sandstorm edition as my first bike back in October. Absolutely love it.

Brilliant video editing and top-notch sound. Will definitely be saving my pennies to get my hand on one of these great all-rounder motorcycles from the legendary Triumph company!

Another fantastic review, thanks Dan!

I have a Speedmaster that I absolutely love, and I think the 900cc scrambler is going to have to be my next bike. Nice versatility and a bit more subdued on power.

Great stuff as always, Great looking bike!!!

Thanks for such a great review. You have my sub. I’ve got a test ride on one of these booked for next week. I have two questions. Do you think this would be a good first bike or would it be too powerful? I passed my test last month and it’s time to sell the YBR 125. Also I’m only 5’6 so would this be ok? Thanks

Such a pretty bike. Can't decide between this bike and the 12OO XC. I'm 6 feet flat 200 lbs.

Hi matey 👍 it's mark i really love the triumph motorcycles update ones and the classic look style motorcycles with a modern twist to them. And i just love that triumph Scrabble very nice i want one 👍👍 thanks from mark keep the RU-vid videos coming out on motorcycle's please 👍👍

Always!!!! great video"s. thanks

Regret selling my T120, ( didn’t really need a 1200 cc bike anymore) this may be my next bike. I’m 63, and just do short rides around town, and the back roads through the mountains.

Does the exhaust heat up while riding in city ? I am in india and here the climate is tropical so what do you think about the heat at the exhaust where your leg does touch the exhaust pipe

Very nice bike good review I to would make a few changes if I had one but on the whole it's a good one prefer the black or the green 👍

I have a Scrambler 1200 XC and want something smaller for short travels. I look at Ducati Scrambler, BMW RnineT and this bike. Im a big fan from triumph would you go with triumph anyway or do you think the other bikes are better options. The Ducati is smaller and lighter and the BMW has more power and the triumph looks nice like the big sister the scrambler 1200 XC/XE. Or maybe a Street Twin would also make or a Bonneville 100T/120T but im a big fan from this exhaust.

Bought one last year and loving it. Versatile and very easy to ride. But you’re right about the seat, I can last 90 min max before needing a decent break.

i almost got this but bought the T120 instead purely because i carry a pillion quite often. if i was going solo all the time this would be my bike.

Brakes good enough ? Any luggage suggestions that work with a pinion ?

This looks lovely

Thanks Dan. This isn't the first bike I'd think of for on (or off road) but now I've watched you riding one I think that a test ride may be in the running. :>)

hi Dan what navigation app you using,

Owned this model for 2 years and regret selling it ...fantastic bike that IMO is the best of the Bonneville variants , much better than the sum of its parts .

Looks n sound's 👌

Thank you Dan for your video, the wife and I have been looking at the Scrambler as a second bike to go with our tiger 900 rally plus. It would mainly for my wife so I think we will be taking a trip to blade and have a look at one. It's the weight that puts me off as my wife is 5,5 in hight so that could be a problem. Thanks Dan keep up the brilliant videos 👍

I wouldn't take this off road. It's just stunning.

Great channel pal what is the map app you use please ?

I love how you "haha ho~~~~" TBH this help me to make my devision to finally buy it. Thank you.

Would be nice if this bike had the 900 tigers suspension!

I have the 2019 and love it. I’ve got used to the seat and my son and I even toured on it. Only problems I found were the lack of a sixth gear and a bit of vibration when over 120kph. Great review!

Won't legs get heated as exhaust is upwards

80nm at 3250 nice 👌🏻

I run my for 2-4 houre tours no problem. Seat is roomy to move arround 👍

Nice Sound 👍 Can you clarify Dan, is it a Street Scrambler, or is it not now a 'Scrambler 900! and you mentioned RPM at one point, but yet there's no tacho! 🤔 great vids 👍

Cool

how tall are you?

What jacket are you wearing in this video please?

I do like the Bonnies, they all seem to be really good bikes. If I was thinking of getting the Scrambler, I'd buy the Street Twin. I don't care about spoked wheels and the high up pipes on the Scrambler would be a pain if I ever decided to to away for a day or 2. Speed Twin would be my ideal choice, just for the extra poke. I've been meaning to have a test ride for ages.

How many liters of gasoline does it burn per 100 kilometers? Also, how many kilometers can it go on 1 liter of gasoline?

👍

Give me one of these and a Tiger 900 and l would be a happy happy boy!

how is it comparely to Ducati

hi , did you tried it with a pillion? Is he/she confortable? thanks

Small correction, is not USD forks but Right Side Up Forks.

Why does this have just 5 gears?

Ok Dan, Scrambler or T100?

I just wish it had a 6th gear

Can you quote mpg not metric please. We're in Blighty 🇬🇧👍

Forks aren’t upside down……what are you talking about?

It's a great bike, but for the equipment level and basic suspension, it's a bit expensive! And boring colours. Nice review, looks like you had fun.oh and that bloody front mudguard stolen from the street twin doesn't fit the wheel, it looks shit.

It's a shame this doesn't have cross-spoke wheels. I wouldn't ride at speed on tubed tyres. Nice bike, though.

Ahh com on Dan! MPG please! Bad enough torque is measured in nmts! Good wok tho, pal.

it don't make at least100nm its not worth my consideration. The HP is abysmal for a 900cc PT. I'm a big guy ay 118kgs and need that torque. The best mixture hp/nm I've found is the BMW R1200/1250 and I'm sticking with it.

eeh..dont like how the exhaust looks

Ah yes, the marketers at work: find a catchy phrase. It may be meaningless, but if it helps with sales... Scrambling has never taken place on the street. It never will be.

You sound like RCE

Too expansive for what it offers.
