    I've just joined the Triumph ranks! Found this used 2017 Street Scrambler for $8700 at my local dealer. Only two months old and 1600 miles on the odometer. I couldn't pass it up! Looking forward to chatting with you all and checking out all the mods you guys are doing to your bikes!

    Hello Dana
    Fantastic looking bike, that sir is a good find
    Did you look at any other bikes or was it love at first sight and you bought her there and then?

    I have been looking for a second bike for about 6 months. I wanted something that was good on the street but could do a little fire road riding too. I honestly, had never heard of the Scrambler until last week. My buddy just bought a Triumph Bobber and he let me ride it. I just thought it was the coolest bike. So after looking at the Triumph website I fell in love with this model. I lucked out that my local dealer got this bike last Thursday on a trade. The previous owner bought it two months ago and then decided he wanted something with more passenger room. :)

    Good on yer chap.
    Enjoy...and more photos please :)

    WQhen you get to do your fire road riding, if have any footage on camera it would be good to see that, not many of us go offroad and would be a new thing for us.

    Hi & Welcome in.

    Good to hear you are actually going to use it off-road, good to hear if it is any good, or too heavy and unwieldy ?

    Can you actually ride a scrambler stood up ?
