Scrambler Scrambler 1200 Scraping Pegs

Cool video. Thanks for posting it. and you're right about the talking, who needs it anyway!

 

Love the bike but that’s about off road as parking in the Lakeside Tesco car park including the puddle

 

You’re right but if the mudguard is 3mm from the tyre, don’t call it a scrambler

 

Scramblers became Enduros, so no, all the modern scramblers are echoes from the 70’s and 80’s look up Yamaha DT, Honda XL,s Suzuki ER,s Kawasaki KL,s and you’ll get the picture.
Those bikes could actually be scramblers.

None look like the Triumph Scrambler, it’s just a modern interpretation of an old school bike.

Put it against a real old school scramblers and it’ll get destroyed, I’m talking BSA B50ss proper old school Yamaha XT 500 and the like will mince it off road

Then the real Enduros took over

This scambler is more like a scammer than a scrambler

 

Mate fair play, I wouldn’t throw any Triumph Scrambler at a field, way too nice.

I’d buy the scrambler for the road and get a cheap dirt bike for the field

 

Off we go again - slating each others choice of bike. I haven't ridden a 1200 Scrambler off road, but if I had my opinion would be worthless as I'm not an expert. So, I have two options left - read reports from expert/professional road testers (from various countries, to hopefully get a more balanced view), Or..... read GP's account.... Results are in - The testers all agree it's great on & off road. GP summarizes by saying it's off-road potential is supermarket puddles. Err... let's see....who shall I go with.... (before I decide.... you have ridden one.... haven't you......to form such an unbiased opinion....?)
You state a Scrambler is "just a modern interpretation of an old school" bike. (true). Wait...isn't that exactly what your Thruxton is - a modern interpretation of a 60's/70's cafe racer? Christ, I hope you haven't been scammed, mate.

Yep but I’m not putting my Thruxton on a race track, if I was going to do that I’d buy a racebike.
The Scrambler is clearly not an off road bike whatever way you look at it.

Horses for courses, and don’t stick a k10 motorbike in a situation it’s clearly not capable of, the Road test video that’s shown is near enough flat with a puddle, come on

 

I'm jealous of you guys that are over 6ft tall,i had to sell my beloved ktm 1190 because the seat height was too tall for me.Stood next to the 1200 scrambler the other day,like a bloody horse,it's huge.

 

By the way Pete it’s not the bike I’m slating I really do love it, it’s Triumph advertising it as something it’s not

 

You seem to be explaining what we already know, mate I love the bike as a road bike but don’t tell me shit smells like roses because it really doesn’t..

If it’s the bike for you that’s all that matters but Triumph are pushing it to be something it isn’t.
Not me or you
