The Triumph Street SCRAMBLER! 

Excellent Peter! Great to hear! Have fun! :-)

Zac Martinez thank you Zac. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much for saying so! :-) Glad you like it. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment... TBH!

Sorry, Captain! I referred to you as Mr. Rambunctious. I believe that was your father. Please forgive me!

Thank you Andrew. I'm glad you say that. I do sometimes wonder if I waffle too much, luckily I only get the odd person calling me gay or an idiot... So far so good on this video though! :-) Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a kind comment... TBH!

You're most welcome! :-) I'm glad to have been of help.. TBH!

Pretty much! :-)

Huzzah! You'll love it I'm sure! :-)

Ulf. Did you get your bike? How do you like it?

Thank you Mr J! The long ones are the best, or so I've heard... It's a very good bike in my opinion. It won't set any records, but great great fun... :-) Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

I'm not surprised that you chose the Scrambler over the T120 after riding it. It really IS good fun. It makes you feel like you could do anything. Love it! :-)

jasperGB glD it helped sir! Thank you for watching! And good luck!

Brilliant news. Thank you and thank you for watching! :-)

You're welcome and thank you for watching! Enjoy the riding this summer!

It’s a lovely looking thing

I think it is such a fun bike...Would be an excellent companion to your 600RR... Different enough to be worth it, and fun in a different way! :-) Thanks for watching and for the kind comments... :-)

Thank you for watching sir! Glad you enjoyed it! :-) I try not to be too dull, but this one does go on rather... :-)

Captain Rambunctious It's better to give depth of information in my opinion. I might have to buy one of these if finances are good to me. Next step for me is a Gsxr 600 for track days but I'll definitely go to Phillip McCallen's and have some fun on triumphant machinery. Sounds great.

Please do! :-) They are lovely bikes... Thanks again for popping by! :-)

Fibroboy agreed !

You've hit the mail on the head. Exactly what I was trying to get at... So much more than I expected. It's just SO easy to ride and therefore such a hoot! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I agree with you on the price front, but for finance and PCP deal whores like me, who cares!? :-)

Tried the 800 Tiger this week, really confused now.!! Like them both for different reasons. The Scrambler has the character for sure.

Tim Holt I had the Tiger for 6 months. An excellent bike but I got bored. No character although exceedingly capable. If you can put up with slightly less practicality and versatility, then the Scrambler is a good mix!

That's exactly how I felt as I reckon you could tell in the video! :-) I have said that if the Thruxton didn't exist, this would be mine on the spot... It's a pity I can't afford 2 bikes... Such a pity... :-)

They do indeed! This is the most fun though. Thanks for watching! :-)

Thanks, Yes, it's my next favourite Triumph, effortless and great fun! ;-) Obviously, my Thruxton R is my favourite before you ask.. ;-) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! :-)

Absolutely and stock! I really want to hear a V&H without baffles on this!

Yup! Exceedingly good fun!

Lovely to hear! I must admit, one of the best things about doing these videos is that I can rewatch them and reminisce, especially the joint vlogs and trips to Wales and Cornwall! Thanks for watching!

Your welcome Andy! Thank you. Yes, the Scrambler is a lot more fun than the T120, and you don't really notice the lack of power unless you are after good roll ons above 80mph... Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment! :-)

Ah, good to hear! And happy birthday for when it comes! Thank you for watching!

Thank you saddlebag... Yes, if the Thruxton didn't exist, this is my favourite Triumph... Even more than the Speed Triple R... Just so easy... Love it... Wish I could have 2 bikes! :-) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comement. :-)

Ha ha! Sorry Neil! :-)

You're most welcome! I hope you enjoy many miles on it and hope my review was accurate for you!

Paul Pennell that's brilliant news! I honestly couldn't see how to do that. It looked like it was a solid weld! Glad you are enjoying it and you agree with my assessment of fun. I can't put my finger on it but it is so much more fun to ride than the Street twin but I don't really know why! Thanks for watching and for the info!

Paul Pennell oh and I'd just plug the gaps with black end caps from the old bonnie or theuxton as their frames had these plastic caps that should work!

Look at Rake and Trail between the models . Its all I can find besides tires . Thanks

Thank you Darrell, as always you are too kind! :-)

That green is perfect. I'll get a test ride booked and see what I think, I've got a feeling that I'll be considering a trade in.

Kevin Wong crikey Kevin! Well I hope that you aren't disappointed in your decision! No pressure then! 😊 Thanks for watching!

Captain Rambunctious will let u know which one I go for. Thanks Captain! A very malnourished, weak and meek Tally Bally Ho...

Now imagine how I feel having ridden them all! :-) I can't wait to have a house with a double garage, let alone one garage would be nice!!

Sod the garage I want a treble barn!! Ha ha

I'm seriously thinking about one of these 2019 versions, and wondered how you're getting along with yours now you've had it a while. Thanks.

​@@n518080 Absolutely. I've had it for about 2 months now and I am loving it. I just looks good, sounds good, rides good and feels good. It's not going to break any acceleration records or speed records, but it has everything it needs to outperform most cars on acceleration and can go well above the speed limit here on freeways. I get mine with some extras, heated grips, the small windshield and the Vance & Hines muffler. The heated grips are the best thing ever. In cold weather, they will save your hands from freezing, even if you are wearing the biggest, thickest gloves. Definitely money well spent. The small windshield takes the worst of the wind when going on the freeway. If I were planning on going on a really long trip with lots of freeway, I might consider getting a bigger aftermarket windshield as the wind can get pretty hectic. The Vance & Hines muffler is great. I initially had a bit of reservations about it, since I loved the look of the two stock exhausts, but the V&H muffler just makes it sound so mean and throaty and since I'm not looking at it myself for 98% of the time anyways, it turn out that I was not as bothered by the switch as I had thought. I only got it because Triumph threw a black friday offer my way where I could get it for 50% off though. Not sure its worth it at full price. Good as it is though, from time to time I find that I kinda miss my previous bike, a Yamaha Diversion '97 sports/touring bike. It had big body panels that took almost all the wind, big luggage racks and a great engine performance. If I were to go for a real touring trip, I would probably rent a touring bike like that for it. Maybe I'll grab a Yamaha Tracer one day as my second bike. XD But as long as its all about going on nice rides, going from A to B and generally just feeling yourself, the Street Scrambler definitely has you covered.

@@Sunesen that's great info, thanks 👍

You're welcome! Thank you for your kind comments and for watching! :-) TBH!

Thank you for watching Nick! :-)

Thank you Robert! I will of course! :-)

Thanks Joe. And thank you for watching! :-)

I really do agreee with you! If Triumph didn't do the Thruxton, then this would be my favourite Triumph...

Yes, it's great fun! Won't set any records, but if the Thruxton didn't exist, I'd have this. Thanks for watching as always. Sorry for the late reply.. been rather busy of late... :-)

Thank you. Glad to have been of help! And thank you for watching! :-)

Thank you. It doesn#t take as long as it used to to edit, but it's close! ;-) Thank you for watching! :-)

Thank you Magnus! :-) Tally Bally Ho to you too!

It should suit you perfectly!

Thank you Rich...

Completely Jason... ;-)

runNride the Scrambler is must easier to ride and more versatile too, but up to you really when it comes to looks...

definitely like that versatility. My other bike is a 1200 GS and I would like a little runabout that I can just hop on and go mess around a bit. Great video btw, your enthusiasm for the bike is clear!!

runNride you're most welcome! Thank you.

Thank you for watching! Yes, just sooo much fun! :-)

I am indeed very familiar with it. Amazing machine, but if I wasn't going to tour too heavily and could make do with about 50 litres of rucksack and tail bag then I'd buy this Scrambler just for the fun of it... Might save you some money. What you save in bike costs, you could spend in accessories and kit... Just saying... ;-) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment..

All good points but living in rural South Australia there are many Km to cover, but in saying that doesn't every man need a second or third bike!

You've hit the nail on the head sir! :-)

With the hidden Cat, it's sort of a 2 into 1 into 2, but yes, on the face of it, 2-2 works! :-) Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! :-)

I'm afraid that I don't know. I didn't notice it at all on my ride, but I wasn't stationary very long and it wasn't very warm either! It is well protected, but one could assume that you would get some heat... I'm sorry that I can't say any more. I wouldn't want to without having any experience of it in warmer weather... I will ride it again soon though, just for fun, so should be able to report back in warmer weather.

They are such fun aren't they?! You might just need more shielding which is readily available if you were a bit too close. Were you in traffic? Moving along seemed to be fine to me? Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment...

It was fine when I was out of the city, but when filtering and at slower speeds (up to 50 kph or so) I did notice the heat a bit. It wasn't uncomfortable, just noticeable. I imagine it'd be great during the winter.

The perfect winter bike! ;-) especially after having watched Riding With Tom 's video on how it can offroad! :-)

I'd definitely get one of those if I could afford multiple bikes! =)

Thank you and thank you for watching!

No you can't! You're only here once! :-) My favourite Triumph after my Thruxton... I was and still am amazed how much fun I had on it... :-)

That would be a very good choice! :-)

Couldn't help myself! ;-)

The green is easily the best Thruxton colour! You're one lucky man! :-) Enjoy your bikes and thanks for watching!

Thank you sir.

Thanks Mike... Squiggly lines? Are they the zig zags at the side of the road? They are no stopping lines near schools and crossings, so that visibility for pedestrians crossing roads is not impaired.. A pram is a trolley with wheels that you put babies lying down in - I believe it's called a stroller in the US... Thanks for watching and apologies on the late reply! TBH!

Sounds like a Thruxton R to me! ;-)

Thank you John! Yes, true... Maybe I have been mildly americanised in my vernacular?! I can ride it all day, and you SHOULD be able to as well... How's that?! ;-) Thanks for watching as ever! :-) Keep the comments coming...

One tends to agree with one! ;-)

I had a 2013 Thruxton so know what you mean. Runs out of puff and sounds like a sewing machine unless you have a some fun tinkering with it. the new Scrambler is completely different. More torque, more power, and extremely well poised, flickable and light. If the new Thruxton didn't exist I'd have the Scrambler. Such a fun bike. So much fun all through the ranges below 80mph... If you plan on being faster than that for long periods, that is the only time you would miss having a bike with a bigger engine. A great bike and so much better than the old Thruxton...

Hmm not sure now. It looks pretty welded on to me.. Unless there is a nut behind that I couldn't see... Even looking at the footage. But as you say, a minor point... :-) Yes, the khaki green is the one to have in my book... :-) Thanks for watching Chris! :-)

John Spencer very kind of her. Not sure they were going for a Harley sound, just more a throatier throb. I understand that the 360 is a Triumph set up but certainly the difference between my old Thruxton (360) and the old Scrambler (270) wasn't that much. If anything it gave a bit more lunch lower down in the revs which was the point over purely for sound purposes. My new Thruxton (270) sounds nothing like a Harley and thank goodness for that... but I do prefer the 270 sound over the 360 of my old Thruxton. Is has more resonance and apparently also helps with lower down thump... allegedly... Anyway, it's probably just a preference thing... Thanks for watching and for the comment. TBH!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Pqqpl

I thought that I still use all the same tunes, but maybe I've left one behind somewhere? Bigglesworth is alive and well but he doesn't live particularly close to me, and as I have rostered work, we are not available together very often, so doing reviews with him is tricky to organise. He'll be back no doubt! :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

Tail pack and left side pannier would balance out nicely. Basically what you would have done if you had the older Scrambler... Certainly easy enough to have about 50l of luggage on the back.. Then when you add rucksack and/or tank bag, that's a few days at least, and a tent could strap to the top of the lot... Anyway, with a bit of imagination it's all there! :-) Good comment, and thank you for watching! :-)

Thanks Phil! Yes, I agree with you on the indicators and reflectors of course! If I were you, I'd keep yours for a few years and then upgrade when you can... :-) Thanks for watching sir! :-)

Thank you Sanjay! Very kind of you to say so. I hope you find it useful. I'm sure our local dealer would let you ride it! After all, they are in the selling bikes business! The helmet is the Bell Custom 500 Roland Sands edition. The Roland Sands bit is just the design, there are lots of different paint jobs for the Bell Custom 500. I find it a very comfortable and relatively quiet (for an open face helmet) helmet! :-) Thanks for watching! :-)

Thanks Guy! That's excellent consumer advice and you seem to be getting the right accessories to suit your riding... I've 'loved' this comment so hopefully it will appear at the top of the comments section so that others can read what you have written easily... The MotoGuzzi is already on my list... At the moment family life is getting in the way of riding, but soon I'll be back to reviews! Thanks again and enjoy and ride safely! :-)

You're welcome. Thanks for watching! :-) It's why I do it...

It’s a bell custom 500 open face Roland Sands Design… very comfortable too. Sizing is bang on what it should be. Thanks for watching!

@@CaptainRambunctious Thanks. It is quite expensive helmet (I am quite a scrooge) but I guess it is worth it. Cheap open helmets are all hideous.

@@MaaZeus it’s only expensive because it’s the Roland sands one. A normal bell custom 500 is a bit cheaper

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! :-)

No modes on this bike, like the Street Twin, but you can turn the traction control off and ABS off as well, making it an off-roader if you like...

Hmm, I don't know about the Bobber jacket yet as haven't seen it in the flesh, but I think so... Have a look in the pictures I took at the Bobber Launch in November... Should be able to see in that video... Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Captain Rambunctious no worries just downloaded the new brochure.

I think that it is also the steering. The rake seems steeper and so even quicker to turn and also feels lighter so maybe the bars are a bit wider... It was just a more fun package whereas the Street Twin felt a little slow and boring although it shouldn't have been on paper... It was all about how it felt. I don't think that it is the height difference. My friend Phil480 is 5'4" and he copes on the older Scrambler which is higher than the street scrambler, so at 5'7" you should be absolutely fine... Hope that this helps... I think that the scrambler looks better too although the street twin is very easy to customise and make your own...

Tony Dare they can be changed... I'm not trying to sell you a Scrambler. And the Street cup is prettier. I just think the Scrmabler might suit your needs?

Oh dear. Sorry David! At least you have an idea of what you want... I can never make up my mind! :-)

Front and rear...

No I didn't I'm afraid... I think it will depend on the stature of the passenger as to how comfortable it will be, but they do offer a dual seat which would give more comfort to the larger derriered person... ;-)

I don't need to, ridden them all now! :-) Except for the street triple, a bit scared of that... I would LOVE to ride your tiger... A very kind offer... Yes, I keep buying new jackets. Had this for a while now... At least I do sell my old ones or give them away... Thanks for watching, glad you liked it... :-)

Yes, it really is that easy to flick about... Great fun! It will do 110mph but don't expect much power above 80mph... it's just so much fun at normal speeds! :-) Good luck!
