Scrambler 1200 Xe

Good morning and welcome in. Enjoy your new ride and be safe!

 

I only just sat on the Scrambler at our local launch night but was very impressed with the look and size although even at 5’ 11” my feet could only just touch the floor!...think bit much for me to handle so shall remain happy with my Street Scrambler ... seems tiny by comparison. Did you say you had to PAY to take a test ride? ? ...not heard of that before (apart from the £1000 excess if the bike gets damaged while on a test run)... enjoy the Scrambler and perhaps post an update after a while on how you find it both on and off road... would be interesting to hear... have fun

 

I think on my first test ride of the street scrambler I have paid something to cover any excess as the standard insurance would not pick that up or something. Did not have to do that on any of the other bikes I have tested there. Enjoy the bike, I had over 2h on it Friday, mine should be ready for the collection this Friday, at 6'3" it is a no brainer. Street Scrambler got me back into biking, time to get full fat version.

 

HAD MINE A COUPLE OF WEEKS NOW, 750 MILES VERY BIG SMILES I have owned many bike in the 21 years since passing my test and this is, for me and my needs the best bike I have ridden in all that time.
this ones a keeper, my previous longest lasted ownership was my speed R which I kept for 5 years and only sold because I needed the 1200XE

 

Mine landed yesterday not a lot DIY will happenen this weekend

 

300 miles in, still reasonably sensible with it but already a lot of fun.

 

I agree with your opinion about the bikes off road ability. I really don't think it was meant for an endure, rather a little off road fun! It sure is a fine looking beast. Enjoy it my friend.

 

Little run from Sussex, around mid Wales.
600+ miles in two days, no problem with comfort.

 

I have just picked mine up from Bill Smiths. Traded in my 1200 Tiger. Love this bike and get on very well with all the guys that work there. Now I just need to see about getting in the miles once this weather lets up. then see what upgrades I can put on the machine
