Great review. I bought a Scrambler 900 last week and I absolutely love it! Everyone that sees it and rides it loves it too. Old school aesthetics with everything you’d want in a modern motorcycle. Triumph really made a great bike here.

what about heat from the pipes?you know ,summers in greece are really hot,and as i see the pipes ,it is something i really consinder

A great bike in many ways but a Scrambler in name only. I'm on my second (first one stolen and written off😡) and love it to bits. I also have a 200+bhp sport tourer and an Enduro bike in the garage but this little Triumph takes the Lion's share of my riding these days. Not really much good off road, too heavy with not enough suspension and not a long distance mile cruncher but an absolute peach for just general riding around with excellent road manners and comfort with superb retro looks you either love or hate. I've done 140+ miles on a tank with the fuel light on for the last 20. I'm 6'3" and 17 1/2st and found the front suspension a bit harsh on big hits but improved them with some progressive springs. I fitted Pirelli Scorpion STR's when the Metzelers expired and I prefer them. After 40+ yrs on SOTA sports hacks I'm enjoying the Triumph as much as any of them. 👍👍

Great comment Phil thank you for your owners insight I’m sure others will also find this very helpful 🤘🏼

Great review 👍🏻 I have had mine exactly 1 year now. I managed to get a gold line edition, and customised with all Triumph OEM extras; I absolutely love it. At bike nights, it definitely gets attention for the coolness feel to it with the styling, but you are absolutely right about the engine. The delivery from low down is impeccable, and the throttle so incredibly linear for the first 25%... I would highly recommend to a beginner rider. I actually saw your other review you did recently of the Street Triple RS right before I took delivery of my own Cosmic Yellow Street Triple RS a couple of weeks ago, so your channel is literally right up my street content wise 😂. With both of these bikes, I feel they tick all the boxes I will ever need for having fun on 2 wheels. Keep up the great reviews, the subscribers and viewers will come 🙌🏻

A nice vid. I’m also 6 foot but still struggle on bigger bikes because I’ve only got a 28 inch leg. It might be worth bearing this in mind for your future vids, as most reviewers don’t realise it’s not just about your height. 👍

This would definitely be a bike I would be interested in buying (if/when I ever get money). It's got character and is easily customizable in many ways. One came up recently with everything I could ever wish for already fitted (Twin Zard's, Fox shocks, Triumph bashplate, dresser bars, the lot) I just don't have the cash at the moment. Ah well... Thank you so much for the review! It's truly a wonderful real world bike! 👍 (Edit. Sorry, that came over a bit of a downer reading it again!) I'll get one one day! No worries. Thanks for the review Si!

Cheers Alan, I really enjoyed riding this bike and as you probably gathered I loved the noise off it lol

I'm not an owner but a future owner. It is my ideal bike, in looks and size. Not intimidating at all. I'm 5' 4" and I've sat on one. Doesn't feel heavy, with 2" heels can easily flat foot and with the quite narrow seat, feel really fitted to the bike. One for the ladies to consider. Thank you.

Great video, thanks for posting it up. I've owned a street scrambler for 3 years now and absolutely love it. I changed the Metzler Tourance tyres at 7,500 miles and could probably have taken another 1000 miles out of them. Averaging 73 mpg

I’ve had my trident for two years now. Thinking about trading it for the scrambler 900. Love the looks of it and the sound is just awesome.

Great bike to swap out for the Trident Con, hit me up if you need any help with the new one :)

I’ve got the 2019 street Scrambler. I ride it typically every other weekend. As for the tourance Metzler tires, I’m still running the original set that came with the bike and have had no complaints. I’m going to need to replace them soon and seriously considering doing the same ones. Or just might go for a more aggressive looking dual purpose tire (just for looks). I’ve taken it off-road (no issues). I’ve gone on fairly long rides (2 tanks of gas on one trip) and never felt uncomfortable - could have kept going. I take my wife on the back occasionally. Does it fine. I get compliments all the time because it looks awesome. I’d say I’m getting high 100s in smiles per gallon so the mpg doesn’t matter to me. This will likely be my forever bike.

Tank range on mine is an easy 150-170miles, with 70+mpg. Agree, it’s easy to ride and it’s been a great bike to get back into biking on. Great fun up to around 70mph, and ideal for both city riding and countryside A & B roads. Motorways and Dual Carriageways - not so much. One thing to note - the stitching on the seat absorbs water, so when you wash the bike you then need to take the seat into the house to dry out - otherwise the next time you ride it, you’ll quickly get some dubious wet-patches on the back of your thighs 😕

@@Desmo904 Not really as most of the seat is covered by ones derriere - at least that's the case for me. The more svelte rider may have a different experience 😀. To confirm, its the stitching to the seat that absorbs water, not the seat fabric itself.

I have the 2019, it’s a great motorcycle! Getting 60 miles per gallon. I’m 6’3 and very comfortable on the bike with the upright seating position.

It is a great motorcycle HWY, plenty roomy enough too and super comfy :)

You can ride it down the back lanes to fetch the Doctor or the Vicar.

" A wee bit more raw , a wee bit more motorcycle" . Exactly ! I test rode one late last summer . I loved it . Low seat height, lovely engine and sound . I did however find the seat very hard (for this 18st weakling) however this year's model may have a different seat . Also first gear is very tall for city stop / start traffic and slow speed riding through rocky terrain. ( Can be remedied with sprocket change ) Bonnies are the best looking modern classics with Triumph quality build . Metzeler Tourances are a good tyre and ideal for the kind of riding you showed . The bike I rode had 3 modes and you could switch off rear ABS . ( Bonus for off road ) . I fell in love with it , but I'm in a relationship with a Tigress . What can I do ?

It’s a bike that keeps calling me. The style and character. Had a scrambler 1200 but never liked the aesthetic of that 21” front wheel. Think I better go for a test ride 🍻

Ground clearance looks a bit low and the rear caliper looks vulnerable for actual off-road stuff, but for the unsealed roads we get around NZ it looks perfect.
