Very nice looking bike, way back when rode 650 boniville 🤓. Some nice roads again, thanks for taking us along. 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🥂

Lovely looking bike. Nice photos Richy!

These new Triumphs are great.Fit and finish,top notch.thanks.

Great Video. glad your back kept me going in lockdown keep it up

Definitely a stunner. You look good on this one. Foot pegs can be sorted out. Looking forward to more videos on this bike. Happy Safe Travels my Friend. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎

Had the XE 1200 the heat from exhaust spoiled it now have African twin 2019 dct model after watching your video now have a great bike Have a great Xmas when it comes cheers

Top notch Bike, top notch review, top notch Burger. 👍

Love it mate. My kinda bike.

Love my xc, never had an issue with the pegs in my daytonas, great vid

I have one of these - and it's a great bike in the real world. The faults you mention are fair comment - dodgy mirrors, warm exhaust, low tickover etc... But none of them are showstoppers and somehow, I've adapted my leg position so the heat is no longer a problem. I wouldn't want this as my only bike, but as a second bike, it's great. Thanks for the video.

Love this bike. Tempted. Steve.

Lol that intro!! Richy Vida supersized!!

Looks like a lovely little upright tourer, then take it all of and you’ve got a great Sunday fun day bike! Love the all aroundrs! Not finished the video yet but great 1st impressions

Don't think a 100mile range would make it a good tourer, IMHO. Must have a small fuel tank.

I own the XE model fitted the power booster to avoid a lumpy tick over, also agree with comments about the exhaust. I'm planning on fitting a H pipe in the new year.

Great vid

The Road Less Travelled Is Yours To Explore, Love the looks of any of the Scrambler bikes be it Triumph, Ducati etc

Owned one through this summer and it is an amazing super cool bike, I loved it, the engine sound and quality BUT the exhaust was so hot in the summer it was unrideable and the height became a issue ☹️ for me...gutted but I couldn’t live with it...enjoy the bike Richy, look forward to more video outings. Great channel. 👍 Neil

Insulated textile trousers help with the heat from the exhaust.

Love Lane, at the bottom of Stonebroom n is narrow now that it is closed to traffic. I used to love riding down there back in the day.

Looks mint

I've just take mine ones last Friday!!! thanks for the video and comments!!!

Had a 1200 Xe for the last 18 months and its a great bike. Exhaust is extremely hot in the summer. I don't do much off roading so looking for a low exhaust. Would allow more luggage to be attached and use it for touring. Agree with the pegs and looking to replace them. Enjoy it!

Can’t believe that guy didn’t know who you are, lol😂🤣😂 bike sounds nice, that exhaust would be a mare in the summer. Cheers

I used to stand on the near side foot peg of my Yam Tenere 660 to get on it until one day the suspension compressed and the side stand threw the weight over to the side and down we went. Happy days😁

Nice video Richie. I short-listed the Scrambler when searching for an ADV bike, but two things put me off: - Exhaust - I can't imaging the heat from that in the Australian summer when you are slowly navigating a bush track. It was interesting to hear your comments about exhaust pipe heat. - Tank size - Settled on the T700

It's a lovely looking bike. The exhaust problem reminds me of my old Buell XB12-R. That burned a hole through my baggy-ish trousers when they rested against it on a 4 mile journey. When I wore my leather trousers it was just uncomfortable but no more, even when I took it to the Nurburgring. This bike does look like it's been ridden through an aftermarket parts catalogue though having said that! Bit busy for my liking, it might well look nicer with less stuff on it.

Stunning bike. Take the rubber out of foot pegs when off rd. Most manufacturers allow this now Rich. My ducati keeps your calves warm too , Like you nice in winter but can be hard work in summer.

Like the looks but the exhaust would start to become a pain very quickly, thankfully theres the lovely Speed Twin as an option.

Everyone I know with one has been over the moon and done loads more miles than anything else they’ve owned 👌

I remember looking at the Scrambler when I was learning, definitely my style of riding, the Steve McQueen coolness. Just couldn't get away with the asymmetrical look, my OCD said I needed my bike with symmetrical panniers & exhausts. Ordered myself a calendar, can pretend it's my VFR in the pics 😂 Haven't got around to repairing the cosmetic damage from earlier in the year yet...

Hi Richy. Good to see you’ve made a full recovery. Agree re bike horns. Mine (BMW RS1200) is pathetic and almost embarrassing to use!

Nice looking bike, heat from the exhaust would put me off. I'd buy the 1200 Speed Twin. Good review. Cheers.

Foot peg rubber should just pull out ,you can remove for off-roading.

Lovely bike, burger looked ace too😎 I ride a super tenere, and even though I'm a tall lad the only way to get on when it's fully loaded is to stand on the kerbside peg with the side stand down, perfectly safe 👍not sure about the cooked calves though 😳

Nice vid mate,the hot pipe seems a bugga tho, ;-) PS,I could taste that burger from here Ride Safe Baza \m/

I bought one in June this year,its a great bike and looks the part,I got rid of the Mickey mouse mirrors and put bar end on instead, its good for a good 70 to 80 mile run in comfort providing you dont get to blown about on the faster roads. To be honest as the other comments the exhaust is a pain literally in the leg,it gets very hot Indeed so you do need your thicker pants on rather than the jeans. It's a 90 b.h.p. and all the punch is at the bottom end great for Sunday afternoon jaunts but I prefer my Ninja for all the longer rides,of course they are to different bikes. I might put it in for the Africa twin at some point

Good to have your taste buds working again Richie ? Take care.

I live in Florida and never feel the exhaust heat while moving. Only feel it when stopped And put If right foot down.

As I said on Instagram that two tone black with the red accent looks class. Sounds great too but the exhaust looks a bit pants tho I could do with the heat from it 🤣🤣🏍💨💨

See the footpegs, u can take the rubber bits off...so ur left with the motocross pegs

The 1200 motor sounds beefy. The heat off the exhaust could affect sales ? The juries out with the overall look though, so I look forward to the follow up video’s to decide 👍.

Being a tall fella the physical size of the bike felt right. Those exhaust pipes, however, throw out way too much heat to be practical, for me anyway, to put up with in the Australian climate.

I would be genuinely interested in one of these (the shorter one) if it wasn't for the exhaust. I had a Harley XR1200X as a second bike some years ago with a V&H on it and even with exhaust wrap (which I don't like but was essential) it would burn my leg and was pretty much unrideable on hot days. A great bike but that was one of the reasons I sold it on. Trying to do 400 miles a day crossing continents on this in the summer would be very uncomfortable I imagine. A shame, as they really appeal otherwise.

I rode one a while back and really liked it. Suited my 6ft 3" frame and could flat foot it. I nearly bought one but one or two things put me off. Seat comfort, was too narrow for me. Keyless, just hate the faf at petrol stations and the tech has let me down previously. The clocks; info is just too small for an old guy like me. The engine is awesome with so much grunt and to be honest the exhaust didn't bother me.

If the key is in an ignition it's there in front of you. I've had keyless in a Multistrada, I had one occasion where the electric steering lock left me stranded and another occation where the key wasn't recognised. I also had a loan Triumph where the key wasn't recognised. Perhaps if the filler cap was keyless then perhaps it would make sense but I'm not interested in it. Keyless is just adding cost and unreliability.

Richy sidestand and centre stand only designed to take the weight of the bike only not Rider too...just saying 🤪 Glad to have you back on KZread though 😉

Straight through pipes from SP Engineering reduces heat by 50%. Prior to that wore adv boots and didn't really notice it. Advice from tech in uk H pipe reduces top end power...

Cool and all but, me thinks the African Twin is more your cuppa!

The exhaust heat doesn't appear right. Pretty sure some older Tigers had exhaust heat issues which turned out to be production line faults in that the pipe joins were not pushed into each other far enough so were not correctly seated, making the clamp ineffective. Hot exhaust gas was then leaking directly onto riders leg. Could be the issue as that much heat should not be affecting the rider like this in very low temps. But then the new BMW cruiser has heat issues exhaust side causing new owners to mod the heat shields... 🤔

Hi Richy. when i was waiting at Triumph Cheltenham while my tiger 900 was having a service. i looked at the scrambler and i really did like it, but as you say it is a big bike. the 900 version is smaller though. well you answered my question about the exhaust. lol

as a Triumph enthusiast and owner of an Explorer I wanted this to be the replacement, though me to i was disappointed be the enormous heat radiation from the exhaust, in the hight of summer it was awful. Plus the bike wasn’t keen on turning that much, mea be the 21” front had the same problem with the KTM 790 adv which was like a kids pushbike in comparison to the scrambler 🙈

These are just cool, simple as that. Pity they're so tall.

1) You're supposed to remove the rubber on the pegs for a better grip if you need to. 2) Need to mention that the XC is the lower spec version 3) Yes the exhaust is hot, the CAT is the issue, most people remove the CAT or get a low exhaust. 4) Its little brother "street scrambler" is just better 4) There is also a lovely Dark version for the upcoming James Bond movie, yes Bond does drive one of those
