He financed it, but they couldn't approve him for zero down payment financing, so they just took a $1,000 off to make it happen. Guess it's good to go to the dealer on the last day of the month! I bet that R80 is great!

Great Video! I'm a huge Triumph fan (from Belgium), and traded my street triple for a Tiger 800 a few years ago. With both bikes I travelled through Europe and they've never let me down. Really loved the Street, and I like Triumph's retro-classics, but I commute every day 90 miles on the highway (even during our sub-zero winters) so the Tiger was the only option Triumph could offer me (it had to be a Triumph!). Love the Tiger also very much, but I guess, in my heart I'm a bit of a naked bike rider. I can tell by your enthousiasme, you're a true motorcycle-man :-).

Yeah exactly. It's not going to be as capable off-road as a dual sport, but with simple fire/gravel roads it's no issue, and in some ways easier because it's lower to the ground. But then you jump on the pavement and it's way more fun. If you think of a dual sport bike as an off-road bike that's road capable, the scrambler is a road bike that's off-road capable.

Florin, you make some good points about the bike. As was stated in the video, there are many reviewers who will say the bike can't do this or that, but you guys are out there doing this and that. That's awesome. The real question is how well the bike would work for my riding. Going down your bullet points could explain a lot: -It’s not a fast bike, and I'm not a fast rider. I'm a brisk rider but I rarely ride my Tiger 800 over 75 mph (120 kph), so I'm leaving a lot of that bike on the table. -it’s not a touring bike, and I'm not a hard-core interstate tourer. I tour a fair amount each year (2-3 weeks), but most of the roads I tour on are 65mph (105 kph) or less. -it’s not an off-road bike, and I'm not an off-road rider. I'm only interested in dirt/gravel roads for scenery and getting to campsites. -it’s not a canyon ripper, and I'm not a canyon ripper. I like to ride as briskly as I can while still enjoying the scenery. -it’s not a loud bike, and I prefer not loud bikes. I'm 60 years old and have only been riding 5 years, so I guess I missed that phase of my life when loud exhausts would've mattered. This bike does sound cool, though. It does appear this bike would be a good fit for me. Need to nail down a good demo ride. Btw, I've enjoyed your videos on the Street Scrambler. You show it well.

Great video, thanks for sharing! This has been my dream bike for...well, pretty much since I got on a bike, but sadly they don't import them here so I'll probably get one when I move abroad. A question that's bogging me - it has 54 bhp, I know that's more than enough to handle the streets (been riding for 2 and a half years on a 500cc bike with about 45 bhp)...but does it ever feel underpowered? The 900cc engine is probably more than enough to carry you plus your girl all day long, but how does it handle long highway trips? can it sit at like 70-75 MPH comfortably with no vibration, and still have some power left to overtake if needed?

@ScramblerStories

5 жыл бұрын

Hope one day you're able to get one! And thanks for watching! It doesn't feel underpowered to me. It probably might if you were comparing it to a sport bike, but then again the Scrambler is quite fast on the street, whereas most sport bikes are too fast on the street to really use their full potential. The Scrambler can really have that throttle twisted, it will be quick, but it won't generally get you in trouble. I just got back from a 1700 mile round trip. No issues on the highway, even with the knobbies on. Most of the trip I was cruising around 70-80 mph, no issues. Wind protection helps for sustained time on the highway. Cruise control would be nice, but I'm ok enough to not bother with a throttle lock. I can still over take vehicles on the highway without issue, although it does start running out of steam above 90 MPH. I've did 105 once, and probably from 95 mph and up it was a slow accent to 105.

Thank you this helped a lot also subbed

Triumph bar-end mirrors. Other companies make cheaper knock offs now that will work too.

Scramblers are streetbike-based, with some dirt improvements. Dualsports are dirtbike-based, with some pavement improvements. Some are better at splitting the difference than others. I have a Suzuki DR650 dualsport. It's basically a big dirtbike that, with power mods and a big tank, does surprisingly well at hauling a passenger and luggage on slab. My wife has a Benelli Leoncino Trail 500 scrambler. With DOT knobbies and a skidplate, it does surprisingly well on ATV trails. Scramblers tend to look a bit classier when cleaned up.

does the tiny windshield help at all with any of the buffeting and wind pressure at higher speeds?

For me, it helps remove the blast on my chest, resulting in less fatigue, especially in my arms at prolonged highway speeds. Not something probably that noticeable otherwise. It's not drastic, but it adds it up. A quick 45 minute blast on the highway with it, you might not feel like it does much. Remove it, and you will notice. Spend a few hours or more on the highway with and without, and you'll notice it more. Doesn't remove wind from your head area, but you need a bigger flyscreen for that, and personally I think it ruins the look of the bike.

Dose the little vind screen help against the wind, or is it just for the looks?

Depends on you. It's not too much bike that it couldn't be a first bike. I could have easily had this as my first bike. However my first bike was a beat up crotch rocket, and the only concern I would have is getting a brand new bike for your first bike. Just incase you make a mistake and drop it. It is however, a very easy bike to ride. If you did a motorcycle safety course, and didn't have any issues, you'll be fine. Aaron who is in a few of my videos just got a Scrambler. But he started with a TU250X for a year first. Mainly because he was struggling to learn how to shift. So it just depends on you and your ability. I grew up driving manual transmissions and had no problem learning to ride a motorcycle. Had this been my first bike, not only would I have not had issues, I would have had a more reliable first bike. Instead my Yamaha use to break down after a couple rides!😂

They are, but it really shouldn't be an issue unless the traffic is super tight. They're not as wide as the bars on adventure bikes. There are also slightly shorter bars that look great on a scrambler, like the Biltwell ones. I wouldn't worry about the handlebars. It's more seat height, weight, etc that you should be focused on. Are you planning on going off-road, or just want spoke wheels, etc. They're both awesome bikes. But if the end goal is a scrambler, makes more sense to get one stock then start with a street twin that you turn into a scrambler. Definitely pros and cons each way.

Absolutely! I wanted to drop a video like that today actually, but I didn't have time to film it yet. I am trying to do it today, and post it immediately after it's done because I think it'll be useful. Honestly though, the bike is pretty much perfect. What I don't like is certainly nitpicking, and some of it is definitely subjective to me. Just to give you a run down: Front suspension - Kind of spongey. Didn't really have an issue with it when I lived in Nashville, but the roads in New Orleans are terrible, so it became more noticeable. Progressive springs from Tec for $79.00 fixed that right up. Rear Brake Caliper location - I get that it's mainly a street bike, but it's got the word scrambler in it, and some of us are silly enough to scramble them. Wish the brake caliper came stock above the swing arm. Haven't had any issues off-roading yet, but it still make me nervous. The rear caliper relocation bracket from Free Spirits didn't work for me. ABS sensor to far from the ring with that bracket. Cheesy Graphics - Don't care for the Street Scrambler graphic on the side panel. Kind of silly for a retro inspired bike in my opinion. Easy to replace the side panel or throw a number plate over it though. High ground clearance/ better suspension travel - This would be great for off-roading, but a lot of people probably won't share this view. The fairly low seat height makes it approachable to more riders than if it was a 33"+ seat height. Plus, technically they will be coming out with a beefier scrambler next year that will be taller and better for off-roading. Single instrument - I've flip flopped on this. Originally I preferred the signal instrument, but have grown to like the dual instrument look better. Very subjective, just my preference. Handlebars - Could have been black, being very picky at this point! No complaints at all with how it rides. Some have complained about the signal brake up front, but I haven't had any issues. Granted, I am not the heaviest of people. But it's not a sport bike, so really the brakes are completely find for normal riding. Someone who wants to be more aggressive in the twisties might want better stopping power so they can slow down quicker right before the turn. Anyhow, video basically saying all the above coming soon. You should watch it still! ;-) Otherwise enjoy the Scrambler when you get it. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

Hey I am a student at Vanderbilt! I'm considering buying a 2006 Triumph Scrambler, which is a elder model. DO you have any ideas comparing to your new model? Thanks! Hope to ride with you someday!

Vanderbilt Univeristy in Nashville, or Vandebilt HS in Houma? I haven't ridden the older model. What I know, is that it weighs a little more, has a taller seat height (32.1), and I believe slightly less suspension travel. That year was also when they were still had carbs too. But they are cool bikes, and I imagine it's a good deal on it. My friend Drew wrote up a good comparison on the two. To him the Street Scrambler is more refined, whereas the air cooled Scrambler has more character.

Hey scrambler stories would you recommend this bike for a beginner like me? I plan on buying a motorcycle soon but I can’t decide between a Harley Davidson roadster or this one. Can I get some tips ?

@ScramblerStories

Sure, it can be pretty tame while you're learning if you aren't heavy on throttle. But once you are comfortable, it has the power to have fun and not be bored. Are you comfortable with shifting? For me, it could have easily been my first bike. By I grew up driving manual transmissions, so the shifting on a bike wasn't hard for me. My friend Aaron that's in some of these videos, had a hard time learning to shift a bike because you never drove a car that was a stick shift. So he had to start with a smaller beginner bike (TU250). After a few months he was ready for the Scrambler. He's got one now. So it depends how easy motorcycling comes to you. I presume you did a class, if you did and it went well, then there's no reason you couldn't start off with this bike. -Chris

If you're unsure, get a cheap used bike or small CC bike for a few months. Better to make mistakes on that than something new that costs a good chunk of change. But if you're doing ok with shifting and balance, you can go for the Scrambler and just take it easy as you get more comfortable. I'd definitely recommend even after getting your license/first bike, to practice low speed maneuvering in a parking lot now and then. -Chris

@ScramblerStories

@@pauljorge5089 You're welcome! It's not too expensive, if you don't get into putting lots of accessories on the bike. Your first service is after the break in period. 500 miles and will cost $200-$300 USD depending on the dealer. Some throw it in with the purchase. After that it's every 10,000 miles. The 10,000 mile service was around $200 for me, the 20,000 mile service was the expensive one (valves) $750. Tires can cost a few hundred dollars, but the stock tires also lasted 12,000-15,000 miles, pending how you ride. That's mainly it as long as you don't break anything dropping/crashing it.

Is there any data on whether or not these bikes are targets for theft? I live in the city, and I never once worried about my old 70s Japanese bikes being taken or even bothered with because although they were awesome and in mint condition - they probably only had a "value" of $2,000 or less. These new scramblers are not, you know, $25,000 bikes - but they are new and awesome. Do you know if they're the type of bike that our targeted by thieves?

@ScramblerStories

Жыл бұрын

Not in my experience but I think it highly depends where you are. When I first got the bike I lived in Nashville and did not have a garage. Left the bike outside and never had an issue. I've stayed in some sketchy hotels while traveling, but again no issues. I've never used a disc lock or anything along those lines either. Just locking the steering column. I would suspect in England it to be a bigger deal, since their cities seem to have higher motorcycle theft and Triumphs are probably more prevalent there. In the US and Canada, not so much. But the right thief presented with an opportunity, it's possible. I never had an issues in New Orleans and it wasn't uncommon there.

Street Scrambler has the torque a little lower, and will feel a little more nimble. Styling wise they both look great in my opinion. I would maybe argue the T100 is better looking if you want the more retro look, it also will have more luggage options for touring. I was between these two bikes, but I liked the versatility of the Street Scrambler. Also the rugged style speaks to me.

I would get a Street Scambler if it actually felt like a modern bike riding it, if it is a scrambler then it should be pretty easy to scrambler with, should it not? Same thing with the normal Triumph retro models, not even the Triumph Thruxtron R feels like a modern bike on the street when you start to push it a bit. A bike is a bike, regardless of how it looks but it should still feel modern when riding.

I would have to say by your comments you have limited riding experience and have never ridden older bikes the fact is the new Triumphs do feel like modern bikes in every way with all the driver aids you need depending on the model. To address the Scrambler name you have to look back in history as to what the first scramblers were, they were not the modern moto or enduro bikes of today. Now if you had made your comment about Harley Davidson bikes I would have to agree with you.

Well Thruxton R feels heavy when you flog her on a B-road with lots of corners, it feels more heavy even compared to say an old suzuki Bandit mk1 from 95 for example, nor is it as modern in its behaviour compared to the kawasaki z900rs, that my friend feels like a modern bike ie something like mto9,st3 be it 675 or the new 765 or anything like that. The modern retro Triumphs are simply too heavy and to slow when you try to push it. a BMW RnineT feels more modern compared to the Thruxton. Even the org bobber feels very poor on a demanding bit of road, as the rear end will try to snake it because of the bad rear shock, and the super mega poor front brake is under all critique, I dont understand how it even got green light for road use. :P

It takes a certain amount of force to push the thruxton from side to side, very heavy and understeers way too much.
