Having a quick look at the configurator, I notice that Triumph are now listing accessory packs including the Inspiration Pack for the Street Scrambler. Rugged pannier and mounting kit - check! Sump guard - check! Vance and Hines slip on - check! Handlebar brace - check! Number board - check! Dresser Bar - check! Headlight grille - check! Bench seat - check! Machined oil filler cap, black - eh? Why? It's a struggle to actually see the thing! I know it's "only" £16, but why bother if you can't see it???
Usually selecting a "pack" works out less expensive than selecting the items individually. Not in Triumph's case it would appear
Disappointed that there’s no black engine bolts, black engine header covers, black shift levers, black engine case badge, tan exhaust header wrap, black radiator guard, and crazy knob tires. Where’s the yellow headlight cover and the bar end mirrors? If we’re going to be inspired by doubling the cost of the bike to accessorize, I need ALL the inspiration.
I got the "Enduro pack" when I bought mine, some of the bit's I kept and some I took off. The kit was around half the price of buying the bits separately.
Which, in my experience, is true of all accessories bought at the time the bike is purchased. Triumph state the pack requires 170 minutes to fit, so they're not suggesting that fitting is free, either. If this lot was fitted at factory for, say, £1000 instead of the original kit, that might make sense.
Now had my Scrambler since October 2019. Love the bike. Like the options to make it mine. But we all seem to end up the same again, not a bad thing. Should some of the options become standard ?

Or like cars, and have different trim packages. Otherwise the already expensive motorcycle turns into a crazy expensive motorcycle.
You should be able to specify "options" to be factory fitted which would cost less and you wouldn't end up with a box of "standard" bits sat in a box on a shelf in the garage.
understand that, but that is not my point. I am asking what could become a standard instead of added. The cost of the Street Scrambler 900 is not what is classed as an expensive motorcycle in the Triumph range.
That will differ from owner to owner. Some owners would neither want or waste money on what the next would pay for.
If it's just one item, for me, a decent rear carrier (so I didn't have to make one). The standard one is a joke. A second would be a decent LED headlight as some other models have. These would add very little to the cost of the bike IMO.
Mine would be the Ali sump guard instead of the standard Plastic one. If you want to go off road but not to extreme then it needs to be fitted as standard.
That's one of the options I got in the "Enduro pack" and kept. I removed the headlight guard and high level mudguard and refitted the standard items. The alloy sump guard is also handy for raising the bike with a bike lift. Just shove it under without worry of damaging anything.
