The biggest thing I noticed it the attention you get from ordinary people who are not bikers when out on it, people look up and smile when they see it go past, and I get people coming up to me in car parks wanting to talk about the bike and the way it looks. Ordinary People detest the mopeds bombing around the streets, they distrust huge suoerbikes, but there is something about a modern classic design that makes them smile.

@robg521 11 күн бұрын

I have come back to bikes after a 40 year break, and for me this was the perfect bike to get me back onto 2 wheels again. Easy to ride, easy to control, agile through town, fun in the twisties, but still enough power to keep up with my mates for quick bomb up the motorway. Just like you say one of the best things is to cruise on a country road then open the throttle and feel the instant torque kick in along with the grunt sound from the exhaust.

@hansottevanger4112 Ай бұрын

I own a 2023 900 scrambler and even in our Aussie summers the heat from the exhaust is not a problem 😊

@robg521 11 күн бұрын

Had mine a year now and the exhaust is not a problem, In the winter I actually enjoyed the heat from the exhaust when sitting a traffic lights, In the summer all the time you are moving to don’t notice the heat from the pipes. The only time it became uncomfortable was on the hottest of days of the year when stuck in traffic in the city. [doing 20MPH for 100yards at a time between traffic lights] but even then it was the general heat from the engine itself rising up that made it uncomfortable. But I did find myself leaning the bike over to the right when stationary at the lights to get my leg off of the pipe.

@petehook2866 Ай бұрын

Love my 2022 for all the reasons you state. I don’t personally find a problem with the high level exhausts; yes they get warm, but not hot - must be my bandy legs 🤠

@danjsperry 6 күн бұрын

I have a 2022 Street Scrambler and absolutely love it. I removed my catalytic converter and that made a tremendous difference with the amount of heat coming off the exhaust. Also gave me a bit more power on the low end as well as made the bike sound just a bit better. It's an easy mod and the removal of the catalytic converter cannot be detected by a visual inspection.

Great advice thanks 👍

Can’t beat owners reviews! Ace video I’m just in the process of selling our Tenere for one for the exact reasons mentioned when dad and I sat on one our legs sit on the silver heat shield, I was reading online that there’s some alternative shields for the cat section.

@HelmetHead Ай бұрын

Thanks glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you love the Scrambler when you get it! If you find a heat shield that works well it would be great if you could drop us an email or a message on Facebook with which one you found! Cheers, all the best Alan

I just traded in my T120 for a brand new Scrambler 900 and I could not be happier with it! Goes in for its 600-mile service tomorrow. I love it for all the reasons you mention. And I don't find the tailpipe heat all that bad. Wonder if it's true that they've improved that quite a bit on the latest models... Cat moved to the back is probably why. Great channel. Subbed.

I've loved this bike ever since I saw the one Chris Pratt rode in Jurassic World lol, just an absolutely beautiful bike! I'm a daily rider and commute on a Harley Lowrider ST, I'm looking to buy this bike to add to my stable. Want something that still has that beautiful retro styling, and can handle some bad weather too

Biggest selling classic bike today, yet I've never seen one or a Triumph bobber in my county, or in fact anywhere on my travels. I've seen them here on Yt and in the groups on Fb, but never, ever in the flesh.

@guywolff 22 күн бұрын

i have the 2017 version of this bike .I wonder if the lower HP is the reason I have never found the muffeler hot on my leg even in very hot summer riding ..Now the fan comming on in town traffic is steamy for sure .. I got mine as a left over in 2018 and have 19k on the clock ..I have loved every minute .I wish the tank range was a little longer and I would like a little better suspension but the joy meter is at 10 most of the time and after a lifetime of owning bikes I am hard pressed to think of one I have enjoyed more ... All the best from New England ..yours Guy

Great review, was waiting for that. Sat on a couple at the dealers whilst my mate was test riding a Trident 660 but couldn’t touch the floor. Found out they do a lower version but not one at hand to try. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks 🤩 Hopefully you will find a lower seat version to test 👍

After the mileage covered a couple of weeks ago, You should be used to riding with your legs apart by now!? 😂😉. Lovely little review mate. I really like the new 900 scrambler in yellow too, especially as it matches my 765RS. Might take one out soon as I’ve never ridden one. You never did ride the 400 after all. There’s always next time…

@roberta.6579 Ай бұрын

Why buy this if Tiger GT Pro can give you almost 100 hp?

@lukeoverthere1364 Ай бұрын

It’s frustrating riding these days or just driving come to that. Speed limits everywhere mean you could have 200hp but only be able to use a fraction of it before losing your licence. These low hp, high torque bikes seem to have the best of both worlds, that pull from low speeds to let you overtake and the character and charm that the new line of retro bikes provides. There’s something for everyone nowadays.

After riding the complete bmw portfolio, coming from a gsa 1250, I bought this scrambler and I am the happiest for commuting 365/365 135km 😅 Just a matter of simplicity, back to the roots
