Just replaced my 2017 T100 after 140,000 km. with the very same T120 as you feature. The latter excels in three main areas. i) Delicious surge of power ii ) Superb Brembo twin front disc brakes iii) Brilliant headlight system in all three Phases. It is and feels heavier but handles superbly in twisties and corners. It's one failing is in tight city traffic where the T100 excels. Both are superb bikes, haven't sold T100 yet, but the T120 is a step up

Something I would add is what a non motorcyclist said while complimenting my T120. "It's compact." I hadn't thought of it, but in addition to be far lighter than a Harley Davidson, Indian, or a Japanese touring bike, it is. I have mine outfitted with a center stand, Hepco and Becker side cases, top case, and crash bar in chrome. Also have a windscreen and the color scheme is same as yours. It is without question the finest motorcycle I have ever ridden. Even though my T100 is still my favorite and my Scrambler 400X has been getting the lion's share of riding since I got it in June.

This is by far the best review I’ve seen, of any bike 🔥. It looks like you pull away from the red lights quite easily. Is this bike “fun” enough in the city I mean, will going from 0 to 30/50 feel quick, or will it feel dull? The top speed is fine with me, I just want fun in the low end, on the weekend and on my way to work. Thanks in advance🎉

But part of the reason you'd buy a Triumph Scrambler is for the aesthetics of the high side pipe. It's pretty crucial to that vintage scrambler look. With that being said, exhaust pipes get hot, even without the catalytic converter, it's still going to get hot. Complaining about the heat from the high pipe on a scrambler is akin to complaining about how uncomfortable clip on handlebars are.

Mine is a 2021 RP and I have 22K miles on it so far. But a fair bit of adventuring. It is... in my opinion, my favorite bike I've ever owned. It's just "Classy". It's not perfect, but it is so so capable of so many adventures and she's taken me on the best of my life. Even now, I'm considering some minor upgrades but TBH it has not kept me from the travels I wished to take up top this point. I can't see ever parting with this bike. She's a keeper.

I Went from a 690.to 1200 scrambler...i got tired of the 690's instability at high freeway speed, with any wind gust blowing me around. I found the scrambler just as good off road (not too technical stuff) despite the weight. I bought a klx 250 for more technical dual sport riding... Great, little and much lighter than the 690. The klx is surprisingly smooth at 75 on the freeway (actually more stable than the ktm!). I'm thinking the Tuareg 660 is my next bike. It's an ugly duck but everyone says it's the unicorn. Keeping the scrambler because it's so much fun in town, stable at high speeds and looks like a super model 😂..
