Ok it's been 3 months since I've had this, so here are some thoughts. The bag is very well built and will probably last as long as the bike does. TONS of space inside, currently packed in I have a small fold up chair, tire patch kit, air compressor, camp axe, a foldup hand saw, extra gloves, motorcycle cover, pack of hygiene wipes, and roll up tool kit. Still lots of space with all that stuff in there, to stash dirty clothes or whatever. I plan to use it mostly for camping/longer trips. The molle webbing on the sides of the bag are great and I have two additional pouches attached to them. The quick release attachment is nice, it's on/off in 3 seconds. I've taken it on a few longer trips now (the longest of which was a 750mi run) and it held up great! Having the Triumph branding was important to me, I'm trying to use as much OEM stuff as possible on my bike.

@@Magicks Thanks I appreciate the detailed answer. I'll order one. I also have a Vstrom 1050 set up for touring, Russell seat, hard luggage, large windshield etc, but I'm considering taking the Scrambler on my annual summer trip, 14 days or so, @ 4,000 miles. I installed a 28 L hard top case, pulled the pillion and put on a luggage rack, with this pannier and Triumph's 30 L dry bag, I can easily pack for a couple weeks.

Hell yeah it is! That was such a fun ride I'm def gonna have to make some more trips up there next year. Too many straight roads in Illinois it gets SO boring.

In the 4 months I've had it installed, the only time I notice it getting hot is on hot days (85F +) when I'm stopped, and even then I usually still have my leg up against it.

@@Magicks thank you for your feedback, I will see if I can find it in Europe. because two second degree burns are enough for me :-)

thanks bro!

This was a Tuesday afternoon in August! Yeah bro, I try to stay south of Lake st. cuz traffic just gets crazy north of there. Lots of decent rides heading south though, like you can just take Archer Ave/Ogden out to the surburbs and do the Fox River Run.

@@Magicks Crazy that's a weekday! Definitely have to get out to the south side more while the weather is still cooperating.

@@TonyN491 yeah bro I got lucky that day good weather and not much traffic, what more can you ask for? Hit me up if you make it out this way!

hell yeah! should I decat her though?

thanks!

very nice! let's go for a ride some time!

thanks!

you can say that again! and I loved every second of it!

thank you 🙏

There isn't a whole lot that I don't like about the bike! My biggest gripe is the size of the tank (3.17 gal) which I think coulda been .5-1 gallon larger, which isn't even really an issue unless I'm going 80+ and then she just guzzles gas. Other than that she is literally perfect for me!

@@Magicks I have a Himalayan 450, new one. It has a 17 L tank😌. Awesome for long rides

@@HardBoiled3 nice! That's one of the bikes I went to go look at when I bought mine! I ended up getting the scrambler 900 because I wasn't sure how the Himalayan would handle the highway at 80mph+ I think the scrambler 900 is probably better suited for me since I live in an urban area anyway. Still considering a Himalayan for one of my next bikes though!

@@Magicks himmi can go 150 Kmph that's around 95 miles per hour. I have taken it to 100Kmph that is around 62miles per hour. Felt some vibrations there. Since you ride mainly in urban area, scrambler 900 is awesome for you. Anyway I think 900 can handle 80 mph better than himmi.

@@HardBoiled3 do you think it could reach 160kph? not that I ride at that speed very often, I'm just curious!

that's unfortunate! guessing you're not a fan of cowboy bebop, also unfortunate!

thanks!

Good awareness at 6:37 stay safe 😅

Very interested to hear how yours is working out, mine worked perfectly for 2 days and now the screen is all glitched out or is just blank. Thinking I might have gotten a defective one and will probably have to send it back to them :(

just to give an update on the situation. Two days ago my device started displaying "error d7" and according to the website "it is likely a hardware issue with the connection of the LCD ribbon cable and your device will need replacing." I emailed support and sent a picture of the error code and they promptly gave me instructions on sending it back to them. Once I get the new device I will probably do another video with my experiences so far.

@@Magicks That's unfortunate, I actually saw a short recently where someone had a similar appearing issue with the device. Hopefully the replacement is without issues. How long did it take you to receive the device after you purchased in the US?

@@RideBound they were very apologetic about it and the two days it worked I was very impressed with it, so I'm willing to give them the chance to make it right. It wasn't currently in stock and I had to pre-order when I placed my order on 7/2 and it arrived 8/5. When I ordered, it specifically stated the next batch of devices wouldn't ship until August.

Thanks! I think she's finally approaching her final form and I'm super happy with the aesthetics! I got the barkbusters off revzilla www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/barkbusters-jet-handguards?sku_id=970690 And if you're interested, Behr Premium Spray Paint Blazing Bonfire P250-7 is a pretty darn close match to Cosmic Yellow. Bought a can at the local home depot.

🤣 its from cowboy bebop.

Hell yeah! Triumph for sure did scramblers right! Ride safe bro!

That's one of the scramblers I was looking at when considering which one to buy. Seems like a great bike and saw some great reviews on it but two things I don't like. I think they actually fixed it but the exhaust pipe on the older models went underneath the frame of the bike which doesn't make too much sense if you want to take it off-road, the newer model looks like they run the pipe through the frame so that's no longer a problem. I also wanted something with a more vintage look, while the Ducati looks great it definitely looks very modern. The Triumph Scrambler looks like it's straight out of the 60s/70s. So unless you prefer vintage styling, the Ducati might be right up your alley.

@@Magicks yeah the look they are going for is probably the biggest difference

Not forgetting service costs on scrambler expensive belt changes

can't go wrong with a GS! (or a tiger for that matter) if you get the chance, try the scrambler 900 on dirt in off-road mode. turns off the traction control and abs so you can lock/spin the rear tire. so much fun!

haha hell yeah, good ear!

those Yamaha's are so cool looking! LOVE the vintage aesthetic

@@Magicks It looks like it's stepped out of the '70s. It's like my old XT500 with a Harley engine shoehorned into it.

@@1990-t1j hell yeah! I love new bikes that look like old bikes!

thanks! I love it so much

Thanks bro! That sounds like FUN! How'd you like it? I'm still trying to build confidence off road so I've just been taking it nice and slow. Starting to get pretty good with locking/spinning my rear tire but I can't quite do those maneuvers while turning yet. Practice makes perfect!

Nice! Can't wait to hear it!

shout out to my gf for filming she's the best! Glad you found this video helpful, enjoy the growl of your new pipe!

right on! I appreciate that and I might just have to take you up on that some day!

Hell yeah brother! That sounds like fun, minus the crash! Minimal damage just adds character anyway, gives you a story to tell! I don't have a TON of experience off pavement but my biggest tip is to stand, not sit. I have a dirt parking lot across from my apartment that I will sometimes do laps in, just for the purpose of building confidence off pavement.

I'll give that a shot next time I have to get at them!

8.40 LBS But I also ordered the CNC machined fork protectors, and a tshirt.

The retailer had to special order the cosmic yellow one. Triumph Color Coordinated Short Windscreen - A9708381 Triumph Street Scrambler 900 Flyscreen Mounting Kit - A9708610

hell yeah! such a fun bike!

lol givin off that old man energy 😅 hey man nothing wrong with sports bikes, whatever makes you happy!

Thanks! I Absolutely LOVE it! I've had my eye on it for a few years now and I think it's quite literally my dream bike. My first bike was a '75 CL360, I love the look of vintage bikes and I love the high pipe on scramblers. This gets me the best of everything I want, vintage look with modern tech AND it's a Triumph! Everyone rides better on a Triumph. I tried sitting on the 1200 and it just felt a little bit too big for me (I'm 5'8" 150 lbs) and when I sat on the 900 it just felt right, the perfect size for me. Plenty of acceleration, tons of torque, top end isn't the greatest but I did hit 100mph+ Very nimble, great suspension, and the Cosmic Yellow paint looks amazing. Tons of customization options. If you're considering a Triumph, just do it.

hell yeah! good ear!

thank you!

hell yeah!
