Dutch introduces his Triumph Street Scrambler 

Get one while stocks last. They're being phased out.

how much did it cost you ??

So you tried the ducati scrambler before you got the triumph? What convinced you to get the triumph?

They both had very similar handling. The "Street Scrambler" is much more nimble than the outgoing scrambler and it also has a lot of potential for power upgrades. Also I was going to the flat track races and a guy was winning on the scrambler... I fell in love with the sound and the look of it.

Truth Seeker thanks for your response , I’m between the two, ducati or triumph and many say that the scrambler has the edge because its lighter. Did the extra weight of the triumph bothered you?

This is one of the last 'naughty' V&H pipes with no cat or baffles :-)

Mirrors are obviously recommended, but when I wear an open face helmet I feel safe without them, as you see a lot on every lifesaver, even right behind you, plus it encourages me to looks properly whenever I manoeuvre.

It's a great looking bike isn't it! Thanks Steve, we've got some great content to come!

As explained in the video, it's a Triumph accessory for the Street Twin from 2016 which comes without cat or baffles.

Ah, i understand now i think- this means the exhaust kit itself gets rid of the cat without having a need to get a different bypass kit. Thanks

Hi Al, it's 7 x 5.5 inches keeping the font size still large, which normally keeps the Police from minding too much!

Yes I would. It is a little under powered at the top end, but makes up for it in the low down grunt and midrange. Another 10bhp would tip the balance and I might not need another bike, but as it is, I am not disappointed.

Optional baffle removed. In theory it should run a bit lean, but seems fine with the V&H map. Lively response, torquey and sounds fruity too.

Dutch is a seasoned biker and if you ride with him you'd struggle to find anyone who takes more lifesaver glances - he prefers the look of a classic racer for the road, mirrors spoil that. His wife tends to ride her own bike but when on the Scrambler she just keeps her leg out of the way, there's enough room.

It's all from the Triumph catalogue. Check the configurator.

I'm 5'9" and 78kg. I've seen some guys over 6ft on this bike and it looks fine. It's quite a lot taller than the new street twin or T100, - and don't forget that any bike can be made taller. Did you google the seat hight and compare the new scrambler to your old one?

Thank you for your answer! There are not a big difference between the seat height of the bikes. The Street Scrambler seat height is 792mm and the Old Scrambler is 825mm but the difference seems bigger, in my opinion. I felt the old model much more solid and "old school". I know you can made the bike taller, but i'm a little bit disappointed about it. I personally think a Scrambler should be higher than a Bonneville (it's exactely the same seat height) and with a lot more of ground clearance. I'm not saying this bike should be an enduro motorcycle, but i was hoping in a more extreme characterization among the classic models. Maybe Triumph will release a more off-road oriented Scrambler, as Ducati done with their Desert Sled....that's only my hope, but i suppose a lot of people will be happy about it!

The new scrambler is so much better than the old it's worth looking to fork spacers and longer springs on the rear. Try Hagon for advice.

You're so right. I shall never post a video ever again. I have also stopped wearing a watch and I never carry cash... Dutch. ;-)

watch the vids scooter pirates......its been know for them to take the bike as well.....when its 6 against 1 you got no chance.....thank God I dont live in London......I wouldnt live there rent free

I'm not belittling the genuine threat from London's scooter-mounted Bike Thieves, and I've witnessed (and stopped) bike theft, first hand. If you follow my videos you'll see me campaigning and working hard to make sure they get their just desserts, however, I'm not going to shy away from being public about my bikes, my riding on RU-vid because scumbags on mopeds might be watching. ...This is my city too, and I'm not hiding.

Thats great to hear ......well done you......it just so annoys me is that the scooters are stolen....no tax test or insurance.....wish there was vigilates who just give them a kick as they drive past and crash and die.......btw I got a T100 myself......love it

Makes us angry too. And we certainly take it very seriously and will do all we can to stop theft and scrotes on bikes. ... Sorry if my previous reply was a bit glib. We get some odd comments on here. - Dutch.

It's a straight fit.

thanks! might try this setup :)

Get them while stocks last. Triumph are not making any more of these.

There's no proper testing here for an MOT, but if you're given a ticket there are noise restrictions to comply to - but I've never known anyone get a ticket - and while this pipe is quite loud, it's not obnoxious.

Engine map works with this pipe as the lambda sensor can adapt to mild changes in the exhaust gases. Tyres are same sizes at the OEM Tourance tyres. Oversized width up front comes up with a lower profile. Need to keep the same rolling circumference to not upset the TC.

does this mean you went the 110/80s up front without any TC issue? i need these! looks sweet!

Mole grips and a nylon hammer. And plenty of patience!!

Not sure yet, but the rear is wearing quite fast. I'd expect 1500 - 2500 for the rear and 4000+ for the front.

Nice one thanks, will have to give that some thought, I put some mikes in so may have to consider alternative. Cheers

Hi Mick. The mudguard comes from a website in Thailand. It's a straight fit using the existing bolts and brackets and doesn't foul the tyres. Not exactly high tech but there were no fit issues.

Can you tell us which webbsite? It looks great!

Please..

Fox Hound yup

Google says Triumph A9600620

Triumph catalogue + hacksaw!

Around town they're just fine but pressing on in the twisties and you might prefer a bit more bite. A calliper upgrade would be the simplest but we have seen T120 front ends grafted on.... but to be honest that kind of spoils the character of the bike. More opinion here thebikeshed.cc/2017/01/26/triumph-street-scrambler/

As quoted elsewhere on this video. You will also need the side panel.

Thanks for the quick answer, the one on the street scrambler should be ok, I'll try it. cheers.

I never put the baffle in.

I found on Ebay! 👌🏽

Not a problem at all, not for rider or pillion. This cheeky pipe runs a lot cooler than the OEM pipe with the cat, or the recommended aftermarket V&H cans. I can rest my leg (in jeans) on the pipe on all but the hottest days. Quite comforting in the cold.

Ah, thanks for letting me know. Gets pretty damn hot here in South Africa but sounds like it would be just fine. Cheers!

Yes, it's a straight fit.

Thank you

Scrambler for urban riding, or tight twisty roads. T120 if you want to go far, especially if you take a passenger,

Thanks mate 👍

Triumph accessory from the catalogue. Very good and bright.

I take my wife on the bike all the time. This pipe runs cooler than the standard item.

thanks so much I read somewhere that the peg had to be removed in order to install the pipe, I got pretty disappointed when I read that! Edit- I rewatched the video and see the pegs, didn't notice the first time I saw the video and read about the pegs after , whoops, thanks again

Not on mine. Pegs are intact.

The Triumph configurator for the Street Twin recommends a rear footrest 'finisher' blank, but it's not required. Probably some health & safety nonsense or liability avoider. Manufacturers operate under a huge weight of legislation these days.

Triumph accessories in the catalogue.

Thanks for the quick reply...love the look! Not available in the US catalog.

2017, but the same model spec.

sweet bike

With an open face lid (I hope that's allowed) I can look around and see right behind me before every manoeuvre. After 30 years of riding in London I find this safer than relying on mirrors. Where I miss mirrors is outside London when I'm going faster in a fullface lid.

You a much better rider than I see on my commute in London then... Too many riders that ride slowly and take up dominating position. I like when slow riders see me in their mirrors and move over to let me pass, this way I know they saw me and I can pass safely. I dont like overtaking when they dont even know I'm behind. Thanks for you input, stay safe! Love the bike too.

I try to be considerate - and mirrors are great too, but not having them makes me work harder and look around more.

TKC80s

It really is an everyday bike. Literally. I wasn't going to publish anything about it but it gets more attention than many of our proper custom bikes.

It's all on the online configurator. e.g. front indies are PART NUMBER: A9838031
