Great review, terrific reviewer. At 11:03 in my dingle tingled looking at those pine needles clumped on the side of the road, something I deal with every fall around here. Cheers!!!
Nice one lads. As you said, as much as super high power is fun and all, this and the Desert Sled are the 2 that I have been interested in. I went from my SP1 to a Speed triple and I love the Triumph, so much fun and so usable, even take it greenlaning, admittedly along the most gentle of lanes on the driest of days.....
Been looking at a new bike for a while, watched the review, booked a test ride this afternoon with Bulldog Triumph, ordered one straight away!!! Matt green with brown seat and a load of extra's. Can't wait.
Thanks for the Scrambler review... This is the one I've been waiting for... and it was worth the wait, especially since I received a notification from Triumph last week that my new Street Scrambler (Green) "has completed final assembly and crossed the pond, your dealer will contact you when it's prepped and ready for pick-up". The "welcome to the Street Scrambler family" was a nice touch as well. I subscribe to several bike channels but 'Bike World' is my go to site for motorcycle news and information. Keep up the great work! I think a shootout between the various Scramblers would be fun, but obviously I'm a little biased.
Thought I would let you know that my Triumph dealer called today and has a VIN. He said they should have the bike in house and ready to go in about a week. Hopefully you're getting the same call.
I have just gotten off of a Yamaha 1700 Midnight Star and onto this bike ... I ride 10% highway 10% dirt and 80 % ragged back roads with twists and bumps.. I love how light 460 pounds is after 740 pounds of bike .. The tires are great on the gravel .. In fact with the first week and 1000 miles I bet I have done 200 of those miles on dirt and washed out gravel back roads.. I have seen more of my county than I knew about ..I just met a teenage bear on one track .. On the thruway she is happy at 75 with lots more to give and flickable as needed .. THis is a great bike ...
I think it is the larger front wheel with the front end geometry that makes the difference off road. I once had a 1976 Bonneville (with 19 inch front wheel) that always felt so confident on a dirt or gravel road. If you ride a modern sport-bike (like my 2010 STR 675) on a gravel road you feel like you will wipe out any second!
I've owned almost every Hinkley Triumph model since 1995. I currently have a Tiger 800 XCa and a Street Scram. I find myself only riding the Scram...if they'd make it compatible with cruise control, it would be the perfect "do all" for most.
Nice video, and how comfy is the j.o! I love mine. If this was available when i bought my street twin I would have chosen it. It's obviously almost the same bike, but just felt different in a good way
Where exactly was it filmed in Spain? Great review, one of the best Moto channels in RU-vid! Keep on guys, thanks a lot for this high quality. Makes me wanna ride now!
What a splendid looking bike - can't wait to give one a good go myself. I agree that it is super-cool looking, but you know when you said it made you look cool......well....... ;0) I'm no great fashion guru, but maybe lose the yellow glasses and go for some McQueenesque goggles??...just sayin'! Great film though, really enjoyed watching it and keep up the great work - All the best - TMF
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.
@Darius Tristen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
9:08 freudian slip John or do you know something we don't lol?!?...twice this has happened now 😉......great vid btw, and them roads did indeedy look awesome!
Really looks like a winner, The XC 1200 might be a step up but to much $ for me, and I still would have my KTM 690E in the stable. I believe they would make good mates. BRAAP
Great review thanks. Made me laugh too. Everyone seems to agree on the smile factor for this bike. I'm going to get a test ride. But most of my riding will be central Paris so I'm not sure whether it's the best option, although it would no doubt do as well as most bikes out there. I just wish I liked the look of the high pipes more. Don't they burn your legs? Look lethal.
Tony this would be a great bike in Paris. Visibility is good thanks to that upright riding position, there's plenty of leverage through those bars and it's punchy enough to get you ahead of the big scooters. I had no issues with heat near my leg, let alone catching a burn. I live in London and was riding on the launch thinking how good it'd be as a busy city bike, give it a chance and test ride one, I don't think you'd regret it.
Hi, thanks a lot. I'm testing it next week. I wish I was back in London; it's so much more fun riding there. Scooters are, as you say, the biggest hazard here. And there are few open roads, just backed up traffic. But I guess it would be a good bike to go for weekend rides too. Really looking forward to the test ride.
Had to put off the test as they hadn't received the test model! Going to schedule the test in the next couple of weeks. Also going to try the r-nine t and the Ducati café racer..
Sorry a little off topic- Is that the Shoei JO that you're wearing in the video? if so, is it really 2 pounds in weight.. supposed to hit American shores soon, wondering if it's worth the wait, or sjust go with the Simpson M-30 carbon... Thanks
It's a good fit, Lenny. Light, comfortable and the integrated visor is pretty handy. I think it looks good as well. I'd say it'll be worth the wait. JH
I don't think triumph is stupid enough not to make there research and testing before they put it into production, I won't worry about it if i were you.
Relax, the pipe under the passenger’s leg is even cooler than the part under the rider’s leg. The pipe gets hot up front, but doesn’t burn anyway. It’s not a bike to ride in shorts obviously.
As a fat American I'm used to bigger bikes. I wonder how I'd feel on a 900 cc bike. I know the T120 is 1200cc but I like the styling of this Scrambler more. Also, at 5'7", anybody have an idea how tall it is?
