I was a 15 yr. old teenager when I purchased a 1974 CL450 Honda Scrambler. I didn't even have a drivers license , a motorcycle license or motorcycle learners permit yet. I found the bike at a place called Ron's Cycle in North Smithfield , RI with my grandfather. Ron's allowed me to put the bike on layaway and pay so much every week until the bike was paid off , then I took it home. I rode that scrambler through the woods , down old railroad beds , in gravel pits etc. until I finally got my learners permit and could legally ride it on the street , then I rode it everywhere!
I've owned a lot of other motorcycles since then ( Dual Sports - choppers - Cruisers - Big Bore Adventure bikes - Goldwings etc. ) but none of them compare to the fun I had on that CL450 scrambler when I was a teen. Since then I've always had a special place in my heart for scramblers. I absolutely love the new Triumph 900 Scrambler , it reminds me of the good ole days.
I'm not physically able to ride anymore , but if I was I'd be siting on a Triumph Street Scrambler for sure!

Someone put this guy in charge of TH-cam "how-to" video`s! Straight and to the point ...no techno music, isn`t in love with himself etc. Thanks man, I appreciate the video, and its just what I needed to help me pull the trigger on one! Cheers, and well done!
Jake Thanks Jake, let us know what you think.
GREAT review. I have watched it more than once!
Love it.
Thank you.
I have had ‘scrambler fever’ for years but have never owned one. Recently went to the International Moto Show in LA so that I could sit on the new Triumph Scrambler.... but sitting on it did not do much. Watching your review moves me to want to sell my ‘17 T100. Well done🤙🏻 Your video crew has also done a stellar job, I would keep them🤗
Touch the little bell? You've not even bought me a drink John
Essentially did that with my 1982 Tiger Trail - changed the rear sprocket, fitted breadbox tank,set of up swept pipes and got rid of high front mudguard. Single Amal carb, 1 tickle, 1 kick bang 1st every time. Bike had loads of character, super reliable and never had to thrash it to enjoy it. Like the new one and simple, basic instrument set up.
Hello from Bangkok, thanks for the very first review on 2019 model I have seen!!
Triumph just keeps making it harder to decide on a bike. Thruxton R? Street Triple R? Street Scrambler? Speed Twin?
Stop it Triumph, you're killing me.
I know, right!
Got a street triple R, saving for a RS and hoping to buy a Street Scrambler for chilled rides around town.
Funny how cars and motorcycles adverts most of the times are taken in Portugal! Hell of a country, miss the people there, miss the food, miss the weather, miss the not sue people chat, miss the smile, miss the chats and miss riding my motorbike there. Thanks for the video!
Great review. I love this guy's no bollocks attitude in all of his reviews. Just what I needed to know as I am currently considering a nice used 2017 model against a brand new bike.
Last May I bought a left over 2017 here in Connecticut USA .5000 k so far on her . Glad to hear they have made some improvements on my very very wonderful "Back Road Roadster.. I ride this bike on dirt & gravel and our bumpy bumpy back farm lanes ..It is beautiful here and this is a perfect bike for the horsey gentleman farmer estate land .. I love mine . The sound is warm and English and goes well with the quieter local sports cars .. It fits fine with the Morgan club of America ... .. Light enough for playing around and steady enough for longer rides .. I wish it had a larger tank and glad the new ones have better breaks upfront and more spring action in the forks .. Well if you have ridden horses you know how to post when you see a bump coming at any rate .. :)
Top review. I really like the way you capture the reason that someone might choose a particular model, and this bike truly embodies the reason I, and likely most life long bikers, ride. I should really just trade in my bike, get this, and be done with it.
Good job ! Another honest review of a decent bike. It's very difficult to convey the character of a bike in a video review and I think you guys have been able to do just that in the reviews of the old (2017) and the new Triumph scramblers
Man I have seen your video again and again…very nice test/ review, thanks
Excellent review and a very charming bike. Love the Scrambler.
Awesome review, I've probably watched it half a dozen times. Hoping to pick mine up in the next couple of weeks.
Its cold and icy but sunny outside and this upload wants me to go out on my bike but the gritters have been out!!! Think i might stay in bed and watch some more of your vids 👍
Very good review, I like how you compared it to the similar bikes in the market, excellent review 👍
Thanks for a great review, it appears Triumph have nailed it with the new 2019 version.
I want this for my next bike. Great review
Great review and video. No BS detection and I think very clear. Thanks much
I'm in the market to buy a Scrambler and thought this was an great, honest review of what this bike is about. Clearly it will not meet everyone's needs, but it sounds like just what I'm looking for.
Best Review i've seen on that one.. (waiting on the 2020 review)
I just got my Australian motorcycle licence, once I finish my 2 years on LAMS I’m getting a Street Scrambler. Great review
Thats great review. I'm planning to take one for myself next month.
Great review, Bike World. Thank you. Thinks: "is there room in the Trippler garage?" lol!
Test rode the Desert Sled recently. Very very impressed.
Great reviews thanks for this one
Cant wait to see the 1200 review. Looks like it will be brilliant
Very enjoyable review. Thanks.
As usual, top class review!
Glad you enjoyed the new bike 2019 version, I have the 2018 and it is a lovely bike. Triumph just made it better in 2019! But I can't afford to get an upgrade!
Brilliant review, love that Bike,beautiful quality 👌
Own the previous model.. This bike have character.. Not very fast but does give you the feeling of satisfaction after every ride. Glad triumph upgrade all the short coming of the previous bike. Shows that they heard the voice of the customer.
i think they should offer a low price total classic 650 air cooled with drums back and front...i'd take one!
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 Have a look at the new Royal Enfield for that idea in a modern bike ..
@@guywolff i will look it up thanks
I'm looking to get my license and find a bike that'll do me for a while. This fits the bill perfectly, I walked into the Triumph dealership and nothing else appealed to me quite like this! Got to have a sit on one, at 6'3 and 110kg I thought it was gonna be too small. It's such a nice place to be. I am going to get one once fully licensed 🤘
Great Video and Review. And congratulation for wheelie the scrambler :-) In this moment i asked myself if i ever will be able to do ...
Awesome review and video!!
Simply put, I bloody love these bikes. I have the 17 model, as you say, it has this ability to make you feel great and put a natural smile on your face. Along with a few basic custom extras, it's an absolute keeper. Could I justify getting rid of mine to replace with the 19 model, I'm not convinced due to the financial loss, but I'd be interested in taking a Scrambler 1200 for a spin!!
Paul Holloway now you’ve got me wondering how hard it would be to retro fit the brake and fork upgrades this new one has, to your bike.
@@johnhogan8177 My thoughts exactly ..Fox on the back and new forkwork up front and Brembos .. I think I will enjoy my left over 17 at its reduced price as it is ... I added center stand heated grips and the bag on the back and am riding all winter ... A little salt on the black finish looks fine :)
You are cool my friend! Just like the bike behind you! I love the Street Twin. I am a new rider and looking forward to buy it next Spring. A bit expensive for first bike. But for me it was either this or no motorbike at all.
Great review. Cheers
Nice review; for me the 900cc Scrambler is the way to go. In fact I've moved from the 1200 cc T120 which I loved as I wanted a lighter more urban tool. British pot holes are shocking so the slightly off road ability is really helpful for the bad British roads. Clearly you love the Scrambler, be interested in your view of the newere 1200 Scrambler.
Great review! Tks
Great review of a great bike!!!
Great review, nice motorcycle. I love my t 100 and my t120 . 😊👍🏼
Great review. Inclusive and comparable.
What a great review. Thank you.
Cheers Paul
Thx for the review. How about "heat management" from either motor or exahust pipes? Will any of those sources burn your legs on long rides?
Great straight forward honest review! If I hadn't just bought a new KTM I'd go and buy one.........
I bought one in 2020 and absolutely loved it. Sadly it got nicked and written off last year and I went straight out and bought another one, 'nuff said! 😄👍👍
Does the upcoming new Scrambler 1200 range make you think differently? I already have a Thruxton R, and really tempted to replace (or add 😉) the Scrambler 1200 to the stable...
Really appreciate this review - it's one of a few reviews which tipped me to placing a deposit on a Street Scrambler for my first bike!
Thanks, let us know how you get on Matthew.
@@BikeWorldTVshow picked it up today, had an hour or so on it so far - I couldn't be happier. The noise it makes when you're sitting at low revs and then wind the throttle on, it brings out the hooligan in me so far!
@@Chambers_90 Nice, well done mate. I'll tell Triumph we've sold them another one, have fun!
I would love one,at the mo,I have a 1982 Honda CX500 euroscrambler. (Something I built,to keep up with the 'retro' theme), but to have a new Triumph is a dream of mine...maybe one day,eh? Great video though.
Thanks.
Thanks Andy
It seems strange to me to have a rain mode on these bikes, I have one of the older ones and always found the power very manageable in any condition.
I've wanted this bike for a while and it seems like Triumph has addressed the major flaws with the previous model (front brake, fork, hp), but I just know I'll be lusting after the Scrambler 1200 when it hits the dealers.
Great video, I'm 6'6 and got this a suggestion, but you said you're 5'11. Do you think it would accommodate a taller rider?
The right power band make s the 5 speed enough? Nice . Cheers!
What do you think of this vs. the Ducati Monster 821 for city driving? I am looking at this, Ducati Monster 821, and the Ducati Scrambler - Also waiting around to see how electric bikes shape up this year looking to buy this year. Will be my first bike but wanting something I don't have to upgrade every year along the way. I am driving like 2 miles to work and just weekend driving in a city.
And now there's another bike that I want. Thanks John
Tim Rodie ha! The list grows long at this time of year mate.
2018 version is soon to be my first bike 🙏
Anyone knows if they will upgrade also the street cup soon?
I would buy one immediately if they do.
Hi thanks for the video. I have a chance of a 2012 triumph scrambler once I’ve done my Cbt. Would this make a good learner bike. I also only have a 29 inside leg so might be to big. Where I live once you do your Cbt and over 18 you can drive any bike.
I'd be interested if you could do a comparison with the new 1200 scrambler. I imagine quite a different bike. ANy chance?
Thanks for the review - I love the combo of stats and emotion - potential buyers want to know how it feels to ride - numbers alone don’t make me buy. I was wondering about this versus the road-biased new 1200 scrambler - are Triumph just competing against themselves here, or are they going for different target markets?
Agree with your comment bra. The Scrambler 1200 is a very different animal, with much higher ground clearance and serious off road capabilities.
Do you know if triumph changed the gear ratios? Thanks.
Cool review
although a complete different bike, the sound reminds me to my first bike : a '77 yamaha xs 650.
I own the 2022 SS. Great bike, period. Back roads or highways I don't desire more power even though I have a 100 horse power sport bike. Really a great all round bike for an experienced rider.
What abt riding in city traffic jam in low gear is it smooth?
waiting for 2019 - Scrambler :)
Can you pls mention the helmet you are using?
Excellent thank you!!!!!
Good Report on the bike. Made me feel like I want to go out and buy one. It's Just the prices of the new bikes £9,300 is a lot for a new bike.
Agree, I like the bike but it seems expensive for what you get.
try $1800 in australia
Why is it alot for a new bike bro? I dont know many quality bikes that are under 10 grand brand new
Awesome review
Cheers Rob
do you prefer it over the street twin?
Nice bike, my only concern is about the exhaust in hot climates
Great video, amazing scenery and terse comments. Top editing gives it nice flow. Good job.
The bike? Nice. But after seeing the 1200 XE, everything else looks dull and obsolete
the looks killed it for me woth the 1200 xe bike, street scrambler kills in that department, xe is just too tall, i hate the swingarm design on it. Just doesnt have the same classic bike feel to it. But i am sure it rides much better off road and 1200 cc is something i would definitly preffer. But since i will do most riding in the streets, its not a huge benefit to me.
Is it vibey? Is the on off throttle choppy?
Good review. You need to find more things in this life to make you smile!
Gerhard Symons I’m smiling on the inside, Gerhard.
Tbh, as and when I get my stabilisers off, get bored of the ex learner bike I'll probably be getting when I finish my A license, this is the bike I want, it's cool as hell, cheaper to run than the competition, and it's so customisable, want a new headlight? Got for it. New seat? Sure thing batman....me gusta👌
I get the feeling you really like this bike, John 😜 It has the same HP as my 2009 Versys, but a fair bit more torque and sounds a thousand times better. I think it'd make a great tourer for people who actually want to take it easy on the way there and see the scenery when there. At that price, the Kawasaki Z900RS is probably a strong competitor, though.
disekjoumoer you got it. I enjoyed this bike when it was launched a few years ago, the upgrades make a great bike even better.
Hi absolute great review as as always 👍🏻 And do you think the bike would be good for touring?
simon varrie . I own the 2018 bike. It’s very comfortable, especially with a flyscreen fitted. It has an easy 150 mile range with the tank. Big drawback is the compromised luggage options due to the high exhaust. But if you can make do with soft luggage strapped to the back end, then yes it’s very capable.
Nicely done! No mention of the new 1200cc Street Scrambler?
We're on the launch in a couple of weeks, here's our 1200 preview for now th-cam.com/video/cFMf-KjPqK0/w-d-xo.html
did you ride 'em off the road?
Been looking at purchasing a Triumph Street Scrambler for years. Finally pulled the trigger and found a very low mileage 2019 at Ducati of Omaha.
Thank you for the review. Looking forward to for you to compare with 1200 XE. One question. What brand is your nice gray helmet?
Have a nice day!
Christian Hastings it’s a Shoei JO, Christian. www.bikestop.co.uk provided this one.
Great video nice bike 👍
Coming at this three years on, but finally in the position to buy I'm sold, the only thing is I don't like the 2022 colours!
I guess I'll just have to find a low mileage 2021 and enjoy the cool.
Thank you, I'll check one out
Great Test
Which bike made you smile more: the scrambler or the Z900RS Cafe?
Loved both your reviews of each bike.
Good question, Luke. It’d be the Z, based on the fact that it’s just as capable of posing as the Scrambler, but has enough performance to crack a track day in standard trim. I’d be happy with either, but the green one would make me smile faster.
That statement from about 6:40 is cool!
Love the bike! I'm a great fan of te street crambler It will be my next ride. But please... Its CASCAIS, CAS... CAIS with two C's :)
Joao Nunes thanks, Joao. It’s the second time I’ve been, I’ll make sure to get that if I go again.
These Triumphs are starting to grow on me.
How do i get it to my region?
Haven't been to Portugal since 1985, I imagine a lot has changed.
not really, still lots of golf courses.
How does it perform off road?
Best review I’ve ever seen!
Is it smaller?
A top notch 'no frills' (slight cynical take on the cliches) review.
Where the hell was that lighthouse in Portugal - I'd like to go there myself when a big sea is rolling in.
Best bike reviewer.
