    Hi all, I’ve two triumphs a street triple RS765 which I bought new in 2017,it’s a cracking bike and recently I’ve bought a scrambler 1200 XE which I’ve only done 500 miles on because the weather has been poor, the scrambler is the main reason for joining this forum just too see what others are doing to there bikes,

    And I am greatly impressed by the security staff behind the Scrambler front wheel!

    cheers billy , it took me a while to decide on the 1200 scrambler as like you say if you’ve 2 bikes they don’t want them to be a like, I had set my mind on a Yamaha tenere 700 but I wasn’t that impressed after a test ride, I found the suspension a little harsh and the front brake was piss poor.cheers everyone for the warm welcome

    Not ridden a Scrambler but like the look, owned a 765RS for about 15 months which was a cracking bike! :cool:
    Below is what I thought of mine;

    Like you say billy the clicks on the suspension work and that’s one of the main reasons why I went for the RS, I’ve had 09 street triple R the suspension was way too hard for road riding I also bought a Daytona which took £1200 on suspension mods to make a fast on Yorkshire’s bumpy roads,the best I’ve made on the RS was fitting bridgstone S21s the ride quality made for a more plush ride.
