Unfortunately, most modern scramblers lean a little too much towards the street than off-road and trails, mainly because of the sheer weight of these bikes. A simple oldtimer enduro in scrambler style often has more advantages than a new scrambler that is basically not really designed for off-road driving.
Oddly the TW200 I took my MSF on felt very much like the definition of a scrambler. Also, it’s still carbureted and hasn’t really been updated since 1987.
True but... With lil to no modifications the svartpillen is a great bike to explore, i raised the suspension, ordered a custom exhaust and it rips beyond my capacity for now
I don’t know why Yammie will hate on adventure bikes and say some “aren’t capable off road” and say “master of none” or are for posers and then say how great these less competent scramblers are. And talk all about off roading with them while most aren’t built at all in mind of off-roading? Or actually abusing. I actually think there’s a lot more posers riding scramblers than adventure bikes
I mean to say a bike is “master of none” I kind of feel like that’s just an excuse for people that don’t know how to ride that bike. Like if I get on a sport bike and go to the track and I can say The brakes are too sensitive it’s uncomfortable the throttle is too sensitive and so on and then there could be a guy on the same bike make record lap times and says it’s the best bike I’ve been on. It’s all about skill level and how confident you are on the bike. I have a adv and a scrambler never had a problem taking them off road or going through the dragon or Devil’s Triangle i believe if you have confidence in yourself and the bike you can go anywhere you want. 30% the bike 70% the rider
I've never seen an American channel talk about them, so maybe they aren't available over there, but the Fantic Caballero is a great scrambler. Fun to ride and cheap to buy and run.
I got my scrambler 1200 XE used And it’s been an absolute dream. Heavy? Absolutely. But it handles long rides, and some off-roading with no issues. An incredible bike that’s just so much fun to ride.
Right there with you. I have terrorized some blown up , heavily rutted jeep trails on my Scrambler 1200 xe. I have also ridden 6.5 hours on highways in a single day on the stock seat. It is a giddy smile machine and gets about 12 demonic chortles per gallon. Oh yeah and it is beautiful.
What no Fantic 500 scrambler/rally ? A 150Kg 43hp fun machine with spoked wheels and knobbly tyres. Taller riders can choose the Rally with its long gravel suspension, but if you are shorter and want to do the occasional adventure the standard Scrambler fits the bill. £6300 in the U.K.
been thinking of getting a scrambler for a couple weeks now as a second bike for the colder seasons, then this video drops, perfect timing Yam or pure mind reading
As a dude that wants to get into the motorcycle world I can say that scrambler are my favorite type and sport street bikes are at the bottom. I can't wait to learn and get a Husqvarna svartpilen 401 (I'm 6'1 250 pounds) and once I learn I would like one of those Triumph scrambler.
@@sleeper.simulant7327 I wish you many safe miles my friend! I knew they rode the 500 I just zoned out the part where they said it was the Trail edition, my bad

RE launched a scrambler based on Himalayan named Scram 411. Basically its a stripped down version of himalayan. I am not sure if they are selling it in US
Svart 401: probably the only bike I’d ever tolerate a 33” seat height on again (even though those Triumph 1200s sure look nice)! I do have a slight gap in the lower end of the fleet between the Kymco 300 and Himalayan… “human bones in urban exploring…” haha
Royal Enfield have scrambler already it is Royal Enfield scram 411. It is modified himalayan, lighter, less offroady but still more than average modern "scrambler".
@@murph9935 It will probably be available soon. I live in Europe , and bought a Scram 411, and I must say , it's much better than the himalayan (not that I don't like the Himalayan), But it's much more flickable in the bends . Still does fine on everything except mud and soft sand . It's also lighter at about 410 pounds , so it's not fast , but it feels a bit quicker than the himalayan. Awesome bike! I hope you get it in the states soon . ;)
You guys should try to do a review on the Fantic Caballero 500. They look real cool and their supposed approach was to make a dual sport that looks like a scrambler. The only thing is the bike isn’t available in the US.
@@sboy1955 it's called the "Scram 411" it's basically a stripped down version of the Himalayan with 19" front wheel instead of the 21" front wheel, lower handle bars, without the grills and a simpler dash.
As I'm sure Yam has said before (paraphrasing a lot), if you want to do it, do it. If you want a motorcycle that fits a specific aesthetic, buy a motorcycle that's already there and don't over spend on a bike that's not built to do something it's not. It's easier to buy a bike built for a purpose/look then to invest a lot of money into something that may end up costing more than an already factory purpose built motorcycle. But above all, you do you.
Depends. Svart would be a far better performer in terms of power, speed, cornering; but the Himalayan is a great all-rounder that is great for long, easy cruising rides, on pavement or gravel, and has great luggage options. The small screen is pretty helpful, too. Both would actually be great complements to each other. I’m considering a Svart to go along with my Himalayan.
Been riding an R6 for a minute now and I didn’t think I’d ever want another bike… until a Husqvarna 401 pulled up next to me a couple weeks ago. That bike is cold as ice
Kind of a dumb question but if you raise the exhaust pipe near your right thigh won't that be hot and uncomfy af (provided you don't burn your pants or worse your skin)?
Im planning to buy the triump thruxton as my first bike. Is it advisable? What would recommend I get as mu first bike if i want a bike with cafe racer look? Thanks
The Speed Twin offers more comfortable ergonomics with the same sweet engine. The Thruxton is a little aggressive in terms of ergo’s. That engine also has some serious torque
A few weeks ago I bought a 2022 svartpilen 401 as my first bike. Then it was stolen not even 2 weeks later. If I end up getting another bike, any good tips for theft prevention?
I'm about to buy my first bike gsx-r 750. I feel you have it wrong idea you should start small. I have a idea I really feel any bike put out I could ride even that darn turbo busa. If I can't make it around the area on that busa. If I can't ill buy a small cc bike and preach the r3. I feel it could change you mind. You may know my bich friend Mt dew Kyle I'm monster Mike and live up to expectations.
Engine flows differently, different compression ratio, completely different design? Volume doesn’t mean anything. A 1200 CC Harley only makes like 70 hp
