Having owned the 21 plate version of this for the past few months i can honestly say it's a great bike, looks amazing, sounds amazing and rides really well for the type of bike it is. Everywhere I go people can't help but look and talk about it, its great fun I honestly can't see me getting rid of it. Has so much accessorising potential also to make it more unique to you.
Edit: having ridden it in the 40 degrees we just had I can confirm the exhaust on your leg is no problem whatsoever, its just warm but not unbearable.
I got the Sandstorm version last year. Absolutely love this bike! It has a massive grin factor and the low down torque is intoxicating. I traded in my Thruxton R for this as I'm 61 now and my back couldn't handle the Thruxton for much more than an hour at a time. I've ridden the Scrambler for long days with no comfort problems at all. The seat is long enough to move back and forth to keep things comfy. Within legal speeds this is a fantastic bike, and on the twisties I've surprised a few sportsbikes with just how well this can hustle. Looks-wise, for me, the Street Scrambler is the epitome of Triumph cool.
My main gripes are:
Rear suspension is harsh on uneven roads. You really feel the bumps.
Rear tyre tread pattern - when you get to the edge of the tyre the gaps between the tread blocks get bigger and you can feel the back end drifting out. I know it's not a sports bike but it does handle well and better tyres should fix this.
Triumph didn't put threaded holes for paddock stand bobbins on the swinging arm. I didn't want a centre stand so went with a TEC bobbin spindle that goes through the rear axle.
I'm looking at changing the rear shocks, front cartridges and the tyres. I figure I''ll be keeping this one for a few years so it's worth throwing a bit of cash at to get it just right.
Which shocks ?
@@user-fv1576 I ended up getting the Triumph/FOX shocks. The difference was night and day, but if your budget is limited, then Hagon or Nitron or YSS will give a massive improvement over standard. Basically any well-known name shocks will transform the handling. Once I'd changed the rear shocks I found I didn't need to change the fork cartridges - the standard ones are fine once the rear is sorted.
The final improvement for handling was the tyres. I found the Metzelers to be quite vague and the worst tramlining tyres I've ever had. As I only ever ride on the road (with the occasional light gravel track) I went for the more road-focussed Dunlop Trailmax Meridian, which offer fantastic grip and stability everywhere, and are incredibly sure-footed in the wet.
These won't be for everyone, as many will want a more scrambler look, in which case the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR might be better, as they also have a fantastic reputation (plenty of reviews on TH-cam).
I did a de-cat by installing a Free Spirits H-Pipe which made a considerable improvement to the initial acceleration pickup, and made the exhaust note even fruitier without being obnoxious. The de-cat completely eliminates heat issues near your leg in summer too.
Saved up and bought the Sandstorm edition as my first bike back in October. Absolutely love it.
Oi Dan! You're not short in the leg you're vertically challenged and that's OK. We're here for you.
I'm good with it, you gotta piss with the dick you have! 😂
Legend has it he has a stepladder to get on board and a second TH-cam account called EnglishClimberDan
@@Englishbikerdan ain't that the truth
@@Englishbikerdan how tall are you?
Gettin a one in all American jet black for the special black pipes with the all US 1200cc overrated motor. Love your light English-speaking Dan. TC, PIPER here.
Brilliant video editing and top-notch sound. Will definitely be saving my pennies to get my hand on one of these great all-rounder motorcycles from the legendary Triumph company!
Another fantastic review, thanks Dan!
Great stuff as always, Great looking bike!!!
I have a Speedmaster that I absolutely love, and I think the 900cc scrambler is going to have to be my next bike. Nice versatility and a bit more subdued on power.
Always!!!! great video"s. thanks
Thanks for such a great review. You have my sub. I’ve got a test ride on one of these booked for next week. I have two questions.
Do you think this would be a good first bike or would it be too powerful? I passed my test last month and it’s time to sell the YBR 125.
Also I’m only 5’6 so would this be ok? Thanks
Hi matey 👍 it's mark i really love the triumph motorcycles update ones and the classic look style motorcycles with a modern twist to them. And i just love that triumph Scrabble very nice i want one 👍👍 thanks from mark keep the TH-cam videos coming out on motorcycle's please 👍👍
Such a pretty bike. Can't decide between this bike and the 12OO XC. I'm 6 feet flat 200 lbs.
Very nice bike good review I to would make a few changes if I had one but on the whole it's a good one prefer the black or the green 👍
This looks lovely
Regret selling my T120, ( didn’t really need a 1200 cc bike anymore) this may be my next bike. I’m 63, and just do short rides around town, and the back roads through the mountains.
Thanks Dan. This isn't the first bike I'd think of for on (or off road) but now I've watched you riding one I think that a test ride may be in the running. :>)
i almost got this but bought the T120 instead purely because i carry a pillion quite often. if i was going solo all the time this would be my bike.
Looks n sound's 👌
Bought one last year and loving it. Versatile and very easy to ride. But you’re right about the seat, I can last 90 min max before needing a decent break.
Would you say this is useable as a first bike?
@@randombritishguy478 Absolutely. It’s my second bike after passing my test a few years ago. It’s very confidence inspiring. Great first bike choice. It’s essentially a Street Twin with different styling.
I have a Scrambler 1200 XC and want something smaller for short travels. I look at Ducati Scrambler, BMW RnineT and this bike. Im a big fan from triumph would you go with triumph anyway or do you think the other bikes are better options. The Ducati is smaller and lighter and the BMW has more power and the triumph looks nice like the big sister the scrambler 1200 XC/XE. Or maybe a Street Twin would also make or a Bonneville 100T/120T but im a big fan from this exhaust.
Brakes good enough ? Any luggage suggestions that work with a pinion ?
Thank you Dan for your video, the wife and I have been looking at the Scrambler as a second bike to go with our tiger 900 rally plus. It would mainly for my wife so I think we will be taking a trip to blade and have a look at one. It's the weight that puts me off as my wife is 5,5 in hight so that could be a problem. Thanks Dan keep up the brilliant videos 👍
Fair enough and thanks for watching, it's also excellent two up. My lady loved being on the back.
OK thank you Dan, that's good we will have a look at one 👍
I wouldn't take this off road. It's just stunning.
hi Dan what navigation app you using,
Owned this model for 2 years and regret selling it ...fantastic bike that IMO is the best of the
Bonneville variants , much better than the sum of its parts .
Does the exhaust heat up while riding in city ? I am in india and here the climate is tropical so what do you think about the heat at the exhaust where your leg does touch the exhaust pipe
Great channel pal what is the map app you use please ?
Thanks, Calimoto app.
I love how you "haha ho~~~~" TBH this help me to make my devision to finally buy it. Thank you.
Would be nice if this bike had the 900 tigers suspension!
I have the 2019 and love it. I’ve got used to the seat and my son and I even toured on it. Only problems I found were the lack of a sixth gear and a bit of vibration when over 120kph.
Great review!
Hey, is the 6th really missing? Needed for longer runs at constant 65+ mph - to keep the revs down? Most bikes with a practical top speed below 100 mph to me the 6th is only for lowering the revs. For any backroad pratical is using 2nd to 5th gear. The 5th is usualy also sufficient if you want very good milage and low rpms - but still be able to have some acceleration when need.
Beside - any more insides about this bike from your practial use? I know its a different league and price point, but I am undeceided between a) Street Scrambler and b) Yamaha XSR700. (and if A - if the Scrambler is right, or if I should instead go for T100, T120 or Speed Twin. Only the Street Twin is not an option, as thats seat hight is way too low for me).
@@karsteng1809 Hi, I just find myself wanting to change up from 5th, so I guess it is a rev thing. I suppose it is not meant to be a highway cruiser, so fair enough. On the gravel roads in Western Cape it holds its own in off road mode, but I wouldn’t take it on anything too complex. I don’t know that Yamaha, but my son has the T120 which is a great all rounder for road use/commuting. Plenty of power, good fuel consumption, great handling and had has cruise control I think. Beautiful looking like all the Bonnevilles.
I know exactly what you mean.I have a 2013 bonnie and I absolutely love it
but I always want to shift six gear also.I had many different bikes but the Bonnie
is something special….cheers from Belgium
Nice Sound 👍 Can you clarify Dan, is it a Street Scrambler, or is it not now a 'Scrambler 900! and you mentioned RPM at one point, but yet there's no tacho! 🤔 great vids 👍
Triumph have very recently renamed it ... it is now officially the Scrambler 900
It's one and the same, bar a name change. Electric tacho on the little LCD part. I much prefer proper rev counter though.
How many liters of gasoline does it burn per 100 kilometers? Also, how many kilometers can it go on 1 liter of gasoline?
80nm at 3250 nice 👌🏻
Won't legs get heated as exhaust is upwards
I run my for 2-4 houre tours no problem. Seat is roomy to move arround 👍
Give me one of these and a Tiger 900 and l would be a happy happy boy!
Cool
What jacket are you wearing in this video please?
Merlinbikegear Chigwell Utility in Olive green.
how tall are you?
how is it comparely to Ducati
hi , did you tried it with a pillion? Is he/she confortable? thanks
Yeah, so my lady got on the back and we went for a really long ride. About 3 hours. She was totally comfortable and the bike felt like it was just me on it. All in all, an excellent pillion experience.
thank you ! Any complains about the high temperatures at the right leg?@@Englishbikerdan
I do like the Bonnies, they all seem to be really good bikes. If I was thinking of getting the Scrambler, I'd buy the Street Twin. I don't care about spoked wheels and the high up pipes on the Scrambler would be a pain if I ever decided to to away for a day or 2. Speed Twin would be my ideal choice, just for the extra poke. I've been meaning to have a test ride for ages.
High Clive, before you take the plunge, read Stuart Fillingham’s comments referring to the gearbox problems with the water cooled Triumph’s and the response he had from Triumph’s service dept. Also, I owned an early version of the street twin and endured many electrical problems caused by the well documented wiring loom fault. The throttle response was also very snatchy and I had to fit spacers to rectify that. The stock tyres were awful and tramlined at the smallest of road imperfections. If these problems are now addressed, then the speed twin 900 should be a reasonable bike but I found it rather heavy. I downsized to a smaller, lighter Japanese bike and couldn’t be happier.
Small correction, is not USD forks but Right Side Up Forks.
I never said they were USD, I said telescopic forks.
@@Englishbikerdan Oh - then it must be something with my ears :) .... Check playtime 13:14 ... sorry for beeing a little over correct pedantic, but you called for :).
th-cam.com/video/53jvChsL5Ss/w-d-xo.html
EnglishBikerDan. You actually said “telescopic upside down forks “. I would take Karsten G’s correction with a thank you, it was only a slip of the tongue.
@@simonelomax7465 did he ?
@@simonelomax7465 Can you tell me the timestamp? I'm struggling to find where I said that.
👍
Ok Dan, Scrambler or T100?
Scrambler! 👌
Why does this have just 5 gears?
I just wish it had a 6th gear
Can you quote mpg not metric please. We're in Blighty 🇬🇧👍
If I had the figures to hand I would have.
Forks aren’t upside down……what are you talking about?
Where do I say this? I watched the first 5 mins and I clearly state telescopic forks, twice in fact. So if I say upside down later it's a slip of the tongue. It happens sometimes when talking for 40 mins about a bike believe it or not!
It's a shame this doesn't have cross-spoke wheels. I wouldn't ride at speed on tubed tyres. Nice bike, though.
64 Bhp, fast?
@@graemelake8419 If the torque kicks in low, fast enough.
Why not on tubed? Makes no difference, have ridden tubbed and tubless at speeds literally no difference lol
@@danielkerr4100 Have you ever had a puncture at speed on tubed tyres? Anyway, it turns out that this bike runs on tubeless.
it don't make at least100nm its not worth my consideration. The HP is abysmal for a 900cc PT. I'm a big guy ay 118kgs and need that torque. The best mixture hp/nm I've found is the BMW R1200/1250 and I'm sticking with it.
I mean, that's one way to miss out on some wicked bikes. As I always say, stop obsessing over spec sheets and ride the thing. You'll find some very fun bikes.
@@Englishbikerdan wicked how? There is imho nothing special about this bike and im quite sure with or without specs. i had a sv650x that would beat this fun bike. Ohhhhh i own a Triumph,so what..
@@777geeman An SV650 doesn't have 100nm. So you're telling porkies now aren't you!? It was FUN. People seem to think you need loads of power for that to happen and you just don't.
I never said it did. i had a sv650x as re-entry back to riding after some 30yrs. My current ride and nearly everyone since has 100nm. I think my GSX 96 nm My current ride has has 125nm. R1200R. So don't be accusing someone lying just because they don't agree. Yes i could ride this Triumph and have some joy but having tasted otherwise I'm not likely to. Agree to disagree i suppose
@@777geeman You said "if it don't make 100nm it ain't worth my consideration". Then you say you're riding an SV. Conflicting info no? Dude chill, I really don't care what you ride. 😂
It's a great bike, but for the equipment level and basic suspension, it's a bit expensive! And boring colours. Nice review, looks like you had fun.oh and that bloody front mudguard stolen from the street twin doesn't fit the wheel, it looks shit.
Thanks for watching my video Ray. Cheers. 👍
eeh..dont like how the exhaust looks
Maybe it doesn't like how you look? 🤔😉😁
Ahh com on Dan! MPG please! Bad enough torque is measured in nmts! Good wok tho, pal.
You could probably work it out from the thingies per kilometre. I'm too drunk now. 😂
Ah yes, the marketers at work: find a catchy phrase. It may be meaningless, but if it helps with sales...
Scrambling has never taken place on the street. It never will be.
They've changed the name, now it's the Scrambler 900. However, I get the point of the bike, it's Street and Scrambler.
You sound like RCE
Who's RCE?
Too expansive for what it offers.
