Haven’t ridden the Rally yet, that’s on my list with Triumph, January got the 900 and a couple of 400 Xs coming

Great vid. I've had an XC from new for 3 years which has been excellent, but I was getting the itch for a change. I'm a one bike guy and its just a hobby with nothing more than 200 mile days with no touring and light off road. The conclusion is I'm keeping it and will spend money on some upgrades! I really couldn't find anything else I preferred, all pure ADV bikes look ugly in comparison and my sports bikes days are behind me after 40 years of riding. Sure there are better bikes for offroading, touring etc, but for the pure enjoyment of riding and just sheer good looks that gets complements everywhere, not much else comes close IMO.

Nice review mate, I’ve been thinking about a scrambler for over a year now and other reviews haven’t covered all the things that you have. This has been a great help for me, thank you. Im going to be getting one for sure.

I’ve subscribed to your channel (and your Classic motorcycle channel) and will try to gain some tips for mine! 🙌👍🏼

Great video, how do you find the performance of the bike on the tarmac? Do you think this could comfortably double up as a commuter bike during the week and a weekend adventurer?
@motofilmer15 сағат бұрын
That's a good question, probably should have covered this a bit more, yeah, you could actually do most things and could do those things cause it's comfortable and easy to get on with
@Baza_363810 сағат бұрын
As an owner of one for 3 years and had more bikes than I can remember, its excellent even if you want to push it. The engine has more power than most people need, with a great amount of useable torque from low revs. The suspension and handling is superb, with the quality of braking you would expect from Brembo's. The only factor of course is the tire type, but I don't do serious dirt riding on it, so 80/20 tires work great for me.

Good one, nice bikes, great review, fun and informative. I did the factory tour this summer and it made me want to buy all the modern classics, I have a scrambler 900 it’s so good. 1200 is beautiful to my eye. One day. Thanks!

Wow he did great considering his limited offroad experience and taking on a heavy 1200. It takes some muscle memory that usually comes from going up through the ranks from lighter less powerful motorcycles.
