It is time to downsize: I have decided to sell my beloved 1200 Tiger XCA and try out the new Scrambler 1200 XE. It is a big change but I am ready to get back to a bike that looks alot more like a real motorcycle, at least the kind I grew up with. I love the Orange Gold Line! I will pick it up in the next month and then impatiently await spring here in the great Northwoods of Minnesota, USA. Wish me luck!
Thanks all! Love your avatar Bikerman, we have a Bassett and if she was able, I imagine she would be discerning enough to ride a Triumph.
Hi Scrambled! I have a 2019 Scrambler 1200 XC. It was a dream come through when this bike came on the market. I have bought four new bikes in my life. 1971 BSA 650 Lightning, BMW R75/5 - BMW R90/6 and this Triumph. I have been waiting for years for the right bike. And suddenly it came. After 6000 km I`m super satisfied. Except this named new bikes I have owned about 15 bikes. Scrambler is rated highest. I too have 3 other bikes for different purpose. So look forward to your new bike - and enjoy riding and life.
Thanks again all, feeling very Welcome! I too have a had a pile of bikes through my riding life and fully expect this one to be one of my favorites if not my overall fave! I went to Milwaukee and picked it up last Thursday, snapping a photo with the Bronze Fonz while there: as you may remember Fonzie rode a Triumph through the streets of Milwaukee in Happy Days, so it all felt sooo right!! So now it sits in storage while I watch the weather and (somewhat) patiently wait...
