2017 Triumph Street Scrambler Long Term Review

[@kokkonosiko]

Been watching Triumph scramblers videos for a long time. This is the only video that i watched every second of it. So many details. Gear change, traffic drive, highway drive, breaks, even mirrors, seat and passenger feel, real mpg, driver feel, night drive, day drive, off road or slippery road? Felt like i own it already. All questions answered. Big thank you sir!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad I could be of help!

[@anonamos225]

These are the BEST kind of reviews for the everyman. This is the kind of thing you just won't can't get unless you've had some time with it. And it really addresses what it's like to live with the bike. Performance numbers are great and all, but it's like deciding to marry a woman just on looks. How good she looks and what she's like to live with are two different things entirely...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You sound like you speak from experience??? Women eh!? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em....

[@jamiewatters5355]

Thanks TMF great review. I bought one and after a year of hard riding I have no regrets. It’s a feel good bike that is easy to put your own stamp on. I did tail tidy, rear LED indicators, side Number plate, Tec shocks progressive front springs and the Tec fork top adjusters oh and a luggage rack. Will do decat, bench seat, LED indicators, lane spliter bar ends and mx style rear fender in the spring. I think I’ll ditch the rack in favour of the overall MX look. The one factory extra I’d recommend above all else is the heated grips. I rode it last week in -1 and the grips made it just bearable! The exhaust is great on cold days and not much bother on hot days. Get one make it yours and share it with the world.... You’ll put smiles on lots of faces, especially yours!

[@aaronlanney3509]

MissendenFlyer.. Just want to say that your reviews are fantastic and your attention to detail and delivery is top notch. Well done sir. I have the new 2017 Street Scrambler in our favourite green and I smile every time I ride it. Love this machine and agree with almost all of your comments in your review. The bike I have came as standard with lockable filler cap and it adds to the high end finish of the bike. It's one sexy fuel cap! Also.. I have taken my scrambler on a few excursions off-road and the trick is to always turn off the ABS and Traction Control first. Then it's a bit more fun. Nothing too extreme though as this is a bike for the road 99% of the time. I have thought about customising my Scrambler but feel that it just ticks all of the boxes for me right now as it stands. I have taken my wife on the back on one occasion and she was fine, although it was a short trip and too be honest.. I'm more than happy that it's not so passenger friendly... if you get my drift?...lol Overall... this is one lovely piece of kit and a joy to ride. I'm a Brit living in Norway and to be able to ride on the most beautiful of scenic roads during the summer months is a pleasure to behold on this lovely machine. Triumph really did a great job with this bike. Bugger to clean though as you rightly explained. Anyway... I better shut up now and just close by saying that anyone considering this bike as an option, go test it. You won't be disappointed... and MissendenFlyer.. keep up the great work as your reviews are an absolute joy. Best wishes one and all..!!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you for your very kind words lanzilla - I'm glad we concur on the bike...all the best - TMF

[@reerbaadia1896]

lanzilla And this is why I love comments section. Thanks tmf for bringing all of us together.

[@matthewroy5076]

The heat shield on the exhaust was a concern of mine. Seeing your confidence in it gives me more confidence going forward. I will be setting up a test ride soon. Thanks.

[@rookie9580]

I chopped my tiger XRT 800 for the SS and I have not looked back. I love it. Fun and miles of smiles. I’m modifying it with a few extras. I love it. Great video. Great review. Thank you.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you’re enjoying the bike - thanks for watching - TMF

[@forrestculver7301]

I have to say I’m really impressed with the Bonneville engine. I have a 2012 SE and I love how the engine works. Like you say no need to worry about changing gear and plenty to give at the top as well. I’m a big man (6’1” 260lbs) and I can cruise quite comfortably at highway speed at 4000rpm

[@guywolff]

One other plus : Haviing the high pipes makes getting at the chain ajustments a breeze .. Thanks for the great clip .. I have 3 months and 4K miles on mine . It is great on washed out gravely roads ..

[@myveryownchannel]

Hands down the best review I've seen of a bike ever, great job mate

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow, thank you very much Tiago!

[@wltrlg]

One big advantage over the Bonneville: no exhausts blocking the chain for maintenance 👍🏻

[@hulsfamcalcan]

Gotta say I've had the the Metlzer Tourances on both the Bonnie and the Tiger and I've gone on gravel and fairly rough fire roads in western Canada with no problems.

[@ianjames3078]

Loving the switching camera angles and zoom for details like the mirror nuts, some slick production there sir. 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Ian, glad you noticed :0)

[@tsav6952]

Ian James I caught that too, very professional!

[@TheLarsBorn]

This is SUCH a good video! Super entertaining and TO THE POINT! Absolutely chuffed with your review! Thank you for taking the time 🤙

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrJpb2000]

Great quality video. The Triumph Street Scrambler looks so good & it must feel so much fun to ride. Would love this Motorcycle for Sunny days on the Country lanes... 👊😎👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+MrJpb2000 Thanks - and yes, perfect for Sunday country lanes....

Great video as always! I have a recommendation to make :). Your longer reviews are great, as they give a better insight about the bike in much deeper and day to day case scenarios, but also due to the longer video, it's easy to get a bit lost and get a overall picture of the motorbike. Suggestion: create a score system for your reviews ranging from 1 to 5 for each category you can through. For example. Street riding: 4 stars Night riding: 5 stars Maintenance: 3 stars Cleaning : 5 stars And so on.... This will also help the viewers to compare more easily different motorbikes based on your review. Great stuff mate and good luck!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for the kind comments and for the idea...I'll think about it! Cheers - TMF

[@davidwaller2179]

I've had mine now for close to two weeks and still running it in. While I haven't put in enough saddle time to warrant a comprehensive review my grin says it all. It's a fabulous bike, nimble and zesty with more than enough power for its type and such absolute fun.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Told you it was good!

[@fitzgeraldc002]

Picking my 17 Scrambler in 3 hours. Appreciate the detail of all of your reviews.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Exciting day! Congratulations....

[@anuragbhaiya]

the best Triumph Scrambler review on KZbin !!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you....

[@martynissitt2693]

By far some of the best real world bike reviews on you tube, keep it up TMF

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+MARTYN ISSITT Very kind, thank you Martin...

[@UncleWally3]

Last year, after many years of riding midrange and heavy “adventure” bikes, rather than the usual 50/50’s, 60/40’s and even 80/20’s I spooned on a set of 90/10’s - first Michelin Pilot’4s and recently their Pilot 5 Trails. Wow. They are magic on pavement and off-pavement roads. They transformed the feel of the bike. Unless you’re really doing heavy off road riding, I’d highly recommend trying the Pilot 5’s.

[@mystic346]

Been looking at swapping my 2014 BMW S1000r and finally took the step and bought a 2017 Triumph Street scrambler today. Will let you know once I take delivery of the new bike what I think. But love the look of them .

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Congratulations Steve - good choice!

[@FLY--wy2yi]

TMF, great review as always! These new Triumphs are so awesome! Just jumped off the T120 after an hour long ride on the Long Island Expressway! The new Bonnie engine is music to my ears at 70 MPH! That Scambler is garage ART! Keep those reviews coming my friend!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Will do - you're going to like my next video on Wednesday :0)

[@stevenbatley8666]

Love this bike,with very little effort you can really make it move,no need to buy the more expensive and heaver 1200,lovely bike with serious quality and easy servicing.

[@motorcyclin]

Though I have followed for a while, I've never really for what Missenden was. till 8:52 on this video! Keep up the great work -Abhi

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+MotorCycl.in You'll work out the "Flyer" bit soon too I reckon.... :0)

[@angowT]

What a fantastic review. I own an original vmax, so I don't think cleaning will be any worse. You have convinced me. I'm off to try one. Thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+angow Take your wallet!

[@timholt8141]

Bit late but a Great review. I rode one about a year ago and had my GoPro on while riding. When I watched the video I realised I had been giggling to myself. Love the bike but 9k + is a lot of money compared to other bikes. In a year or two I can see one of these replacing my old 1200 Bandit in the garage.

[@garethlewis3743]

Thanks for taking the time to review these bikes, it’s very helpful.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad to be of help!

[@lcdubs7847]

I can't imagine anyone saying that washing bikes was one of their favourite pass-times. To me it's one of the things I like least about owning a bike

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Maybe I meant it a little tongue in cheek.....

[@kmb957]

It can be rather relaxing and gratifying if you have the proper tools. I love snow foaming my bike with a pressure washer.

[@timholt2907]

Odd theres no locking cap. Iv just been watching my own video of this same bike also on a 17 plate and it had one. Loved it. Great review as always. Now here in 2022 your videos make a great reference to look back on. Keep up the good work.

[@bikedaft1611]

I just had a sit on one of these, I’m 6ft 2” and 18 stone. And didn’t feel too big for it. I’ve been looking at a few different bikes for my 40th next year. I think this bike may become a contender. Very nice looking bike

[@phils2180]

I'm on my 2nd one of these (first one got stolen an written off) and love it to bits. I'm 6'3"/17 stone and find it fits perfectly. It's not particularly light, way too heavy for off road work but it carries the weight well on the road. I bought this as a 3rd bike but it's become my 1st bike of choice, it's so nice to ride👍.

[@bikedaft1611]

@@phils2180 well you’ve just made the scrambler even more of a contender now. I’ve got a test ride on one in a few days time.

[@stevehughes1834]

Another great video, had to smile at the opening on road scene as I took the kids to the Roald Dahl museum this morning!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Excellent.....what did you think? I've not been but heard it was a bit disappointing??

[@stevehughes1834]

TheMissendenFlyer It's only small, but the kids loved it, I on the other hand was nursing tooth ache soN wasn't taking it all in!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well as long as the kids enjoyed it....lovely day to be out and about (not with tooth ache though)....

[@amitjoshi3146]

one of very few reviews that i really enjoy as a whole...thanks for making such videos !

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks very much for the kind words - much appreciated!

[@richardjohnson3463]

Thanks for the excellent review. Just put a deposit down for a red and silver one with 237 miles on it from new. Can't wait to get it out on the road and in my garage

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Congratulations Richard - exciting times eh?

[@WesRoberts42]

If this is a long-term review, why do you have trouble with the gas cap? 6:00

[@toby621]

yea true he had no idear how to open it pomy wanker lol

[@Jafmanz]

thats a fair point indeed. perhaps the long term review is just a bit of a lie!

[@keithholmes4931]

by far the best reviews on you tube Mr F keep it up 😊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Very kind of you Keith - will try my best!

[@adrianrigby6184]

Another fair , impartial review, I think the majority of these won't see green lanes TBH . 32k subs , climbing steadily and deservedly so .

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Adrian...and agreed, these are style statements rather than proper off-road machines...

[@jezlanejl]

I think many times people underestimate their tyres. I remember a few years back i was riding a tsx125, its was a dirt kindda bike with big knobbly tyres. It had been snowing rather alot and were very icy conditions. As i approached a major roundabout i bottled out and decided i would walk the bike round. As soon as i got off and started walking i slipped up on the icey pavement. This kept happening so I got back on the bike and it managed the roundabout fine. I concluded from this that its safer to ride than it is to walk, that's what i keep telling my other half anyway... ;)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Liking your style Harry...

[@siddharthaiyappa5583]

I really think your review is natural and real!! Not inspired by poems or quotes, its about the bike and your ability to not get carried away, makes you brilliant . I just didn't get one part of it, maybe your accent that I couldn't comprehend. What did you mean when you spoke of the off road capabilities of this bike, did you mean it was ill advised to use this for off road condition often?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah that's basically it - you can go off-road but really it's a style over function thing on the Triumph as far as I'm concerned....

[@trevorogden7420]

always my favorite motorcycle reviews :) im torn between the street scrambler and the bobber

[@TomBoeckxRavels]

Great video mate! I'm planning on buying one next month. One question I have for you, what "blower" do you use for drying the bike? Where did you buy it? Can you use any regular leaf-blower or is it something specific for motorcycles? Thanks a lot!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I use one of these bought from Amazon amzn.to/2foCdLt

[@TomBoeckxRavels]

TheMissendenFlyer thanks!

[@frankpinion4937]

I have had 2 Himalayan 411's & presently have a Meteor 350. Most ROyal Enfield's are heavy bikes or carry the wewight high up to give that impression of weight. I know my HImalayan with Delkevic exhaust was 200 kg on a weigh bridge-exactly the same weight as my '07 MotoGuzzi Breva 750 V twin with shaft drive. My meteor 350 weighs 190 kg on a weigh bridge but it feels heavier as it must carry that weight higher up as it feels heavier than the Street Scrambler 900. Sitting on the Scrambler & swaying it from side to side as I'm only 5'7" 65 kg so I'm by no means big-I found it easy to lift off stand-could reach the ground on both sides with toe sections & I felt comfortable swaying it from side to side. I felt riding it up the road it felt like you could jsut chug along using the torque like the Meteor but if you wanted to pass or accelerate it certainly had plenty of power in a strong surge but it didn't lite up & frighten you like it was going to spin up the rear wheel. I stood up on the bike & I felt comfortable to ride it in sort of off road conditions I would do but only thing I found is that it was difficult to grip the tank with your knee as the pipe was in the way but otherwise I felt comfortable standing up & power delivery inspired confidence. It doesn't light up off road like the Ducati Scrambler. The suspension seemed to work very well with a slick gearbox & lite feeling clutch. Adjustable levers a nice touch. I would put a Dart classic screen on it to help deflect some of the wind away from your body to make longer trips more comfortable without spoiling the looks or practicality if off road. I guess Michelin Anakee might be better or Pirelli Scorpion's or even Pirelli MT60 which I had on my Himalayan seemed ok which I got about 10,000 km out of with the back tyre. The only annoying thing to me is that I like the look of the pipes and the sound I'd agree is awesome however a big problem is that as far as luggage goes you only seem to be able to get a single luggage bag for the L/H side. This is a limitation I feel & wouldn't help with the balance of the bike. I prefer what Ducati have done with a low up swept single muffler and also Royal Enfield have done with the new Bear 650 which also has a single up swept muffler. I love the Hepco Becker Pannier system which I use on all my bikes but obviously with this bike you can only get 1 C bow bracket for the L/H side. Probably detrimental for the pasenger having the high pipes up there as well & I'm guessing it would be noisier for them than the rider. The tank at 12 litres I feel is too small for a bike this size. My 350 Meteor has a 15 ltr tank & so did my HImalayan. I beleive the new Bear 650 has 13.7 ltrs. I realise for a lot of scrambler the tanks tend to be smaller but I feel it should be closer to 15 ltrs to get a reasonable amount of range. I would take mine through the Molesworth station road or the Rainbow Station road which is all off road with no fuel stations so I'd imagine 12 ltrs you'd be worried about your range the whole time & looking at your gauge & remaining range frequently. Luckily it has a lot of low down power & it's a low reving engine with most of the torque coming in at around 3,000 rpm so this helps enormously with economy however it is a 900 cc engine at the end of the day. I would like to see an alloy swing arm on the bike to help reduce weight-I'd like to see it come with a more practical bench seat & I'd also like to see it come with tubeless spoked rims. It is a premium product with a premium price compared to competitors so i'd like to see the compnentry reflect this a little bit more.

[@jamyp4242]

Thought you'd like this over some of the others in the retro range, it's a nice upright riding position and tons of fun! So which out of the retro bikes would it be if you HAD to change the street triple?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Jamy P At the moment a toss up between this (for its brilliant comfort, ride and handling) and the T100 (for its classic looks)...struggling to choose between the two!

[@davidpisciotta1552]

I like this bike and the Street Cup, having an older Bonnie 79 to be exact and cafe style I really enjoy that as well. But...my commute has changed and mornings require 30 mile highway drive (can’t seem to get up early enough) and the ride home I can take back country roads. My 79 does not prefer the highway but like the country roads a lot ! The question is since you have experienced both bikes which of the two would you prefer with my type of riding? I hear a small flyscreen screen on the scrambler does wonders. But the street cup is the riding style I’m most use to.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I’d take the scrambler any day....

[@stevenbatley8666]

The new 2021 Scrambler must be a peach with the engine updates.

[@rickparkinmoto]

I got one recently. It is a peach. The new Brembo up front is progressive and has plenty of stopping power. On paper it's one of the lower powered bikes I've owned, but the way it delivers all that torquey goodness is perfect for real world riding. It's definitely one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned, and puts a huge grin on my face every time I ride it.

[@paulmorris3022]

Hi Andy. love the long term reviews you do. it was your review that made me buy the Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro. i am in love with my Tiger. my poor Harley is getting pushed to one side at the moment, but i will get it out if we get a dry weekend and it is not freezing.

[@stevenbatley8666]

Beautiful, lovely finish, top bike 🥰👍

[@motordave1123]

Great vids! So in the upcoming summer I'll be getting a new bike. Bonneville T100, T120, or Scrambler .......which is your favorite?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Toss up between T120 and Scrambler, probably the T120 but it's ever so close....

[@KrisMOTO23]

Great review TMF, had mine since beginning of April absolutely love it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Do you agree with my findings?

[@KrisMOTO23]

To be honest, yeah pretty much spot on. What I will say though, its got slightly more off road capability than most give it credit for. I'm probably one of the few owners of these who bought it with the intention of taking it off road. Yeah, it will never compete with proper dual sports and the like but turning the abs+tc off and its doable and damn good fun.

[@jozeflechvar7133]

Hello TMF, great review. Do you recommend this bike as a first bike for a beginner? I have no experience with riding a bike, however, I would like to buy this one after passing my driving test. Thank you for your advice.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Jozef Lechvar It wouldn’t be my first choice but no real reason why not - just take it easy to begin with and you’ll grow with the bike - lovely machine....

[@Surefire11B]

You'll be surprised how fast you confidence and skills can grow after you start riding so it's not so much a question of whether or not a bike is for beginners. Just a question of how confident do you feel? Any moderate bike is fine as a first bike. Go with what you want to be riding rather than what someone says is a "beginner" bike. :) Good luck. (I started on a 2010 Thruxton 900 and then a 2017 Ural Gear Up.)

[@PhantomRides]

Good review as ever and it's sad that almost all these "modern classics" scramblers are not true to their name at all.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

..have you been watching Shadetree Surgeon by chance?? ;0)

[@The_Dyna_from_Prague]

Watch Fortnines video on Yamaha SCR950, where he explains that modern scramblers aren't called scrambler or modern retro anymore.

[@tommyleddy8728]

Greetings, I love the look of this bike. But my question is do you feel much heat on your right leg or thigh? I believe it’s oil cool motor but I’m not too famous with it. Cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No, heat wasn’t an issue for me…

[@briansteele2723]

Great review. How did the high exhaust affect your pillion? Any problems with heat for example?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No issue with heat or pillion!

[@Phil480]

Good to see what it's like over time rather than just an hours test ride. Sounds like they've improved the heat shielding. On mine on the hotter days it does get a bit too warm, not enough to burn but enough to be uncomfortable. I've got 2 years to decide if I want to upgrade to this one or not haha. Thanks for the video TMF

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I know you love your Scrambler Phil, but I think you'll really love this new one, I'm very very very tempted (trouble is I have the T120 in the garage at the moment, and boy is that good too!!)....all the best matey - TMF

[@shmac96]

Do you think its worth the money? Even as a first bike and potential long termer? Im not looking to go fast. You have a longer inseam than I do but I'm taller....did you find that when sitting on the bike with the stock seat that the hardness of the side of the seat dug into your inner thighs? Was at the dealership today and the hard ness of the seat dug into my inner thigh. Im 5'11" with 30 inch inseam. Thought that odd but I suppose the bench seat accessory could be more comfortable? Love your reviews and love what you do! Thank you!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I didn't have any issue with the seat but as you say there are various versions available so worth experimenting....and yes - I do think it's worth the money, great bike!

[@daliborgalic4403]

I am a big fan of Triumph classics. But still I bought a 2015 Street Triple R as my second motorcycle, after a 1981 Honda CB650. Now thinking again about selling Triple and Street Scrambler could be my new choice. Will I be disappointed with Scrambler after Triple?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I don't think so - it's a different bike to the Triple for a different purpose, but no less good IMO

[@ianmcgarrigle9510]

well done for mentioning the pillion ability of the bike . im yet to see any other review that even mentioned it .i have a tiger 800 but would like to change to the street scrambler however i take my partner out with me now and then so its an important consideration for me .i have read that the street twin seat can be fitted so maybe that's the answer to the small pad . a used seat from a breakers that's goes on for the passenger days . regards ian

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah I reckon that would work! All the best - TMF

[@jonathanv4285]

Great review yet again. Excuse my potential ignorance but what is frowned upon about fuelling up in Tesco?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well some people seem to think supermarket petrol isn't as good as branded stuff (Shell, BP, etc).....I think it's all pretty much the same stuff personally, I certainly can't tell the difference...

[@Alleditsarehere]

This video helped me alot based on which triumph bike should i go for...!!! Thanks Alot Sir 😁

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Soham Spidey Great stuff! cheers...

[@Pongpipat4849]

Even I am not good in English, but your review is easy to understand your points. Thx!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hey Pongpipat you're English is brilliant! Anyone who can speak/write in any foreign language is very impressive to me....thanks for watching!

[@siyouell7378]

Hello, many thanks for a great review. I`m so close to buying one of these... Would you kindly let me know your thoughts on the heat shields. Do they actually work as Triumph say they do? I`ve read slightly mixed reviews (although no-one has actually ended up with a burned leg!!)..... so I`m slightly concerned of making the wrong decision. Many thanks

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I didn't have an issue put it that way!

[@Wolf-mx7xx]

Hello from Texas! Really enjoyed your review. Do you, (or anyone) have any suggestions for handguards for the Street Scrambler. Strangely, I simply cannot find any kit that does not require an odd assortment of parts, hacking, grinding, etc. for them to fit. Any thoughts would be helpful. Cheers.

[@BoneheadNW]

Sorry for the OT question, but could you recommend a set of 3-season gloves? No need to be waterproof. I was very impressed with your RST jacket, so I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks in advance TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+BoneheadNW I'm A huge fan of Spidi h2out gloves - check them out :0)

[@BoneheadNW]

Thank you sir! Stay safe in this mad world of ours!

[@Hackenbushinski]

Great review indeed, like the others... I am/was torn between all these new Triumph retro models - I'd like to own each of them. However, price difference is significant between the 900 and 1200 ccm models here in Austria (around 3k€ between T100 and T120) so glad to hear that one will be quite happy with one of the smaller models, I narrowed it down to Scrambler vs. Bobber - and while I find the looks of the Bobber perfect, I was kind of hooked when I saw the green Scrambler with the brown seat - so your review helps me lean towards the Scrambler now - good for the wallet :) Cheers!

[@davidshipkiss]

Great video TMF as always - what a luck chap you are getting to borrow all these triumphs... I'm loving the new models, they are really going from strength to strength. When it comes time to change my GS, BMW are going to have a fight on their hands to keep my loyalty. Sitting here in snowy scotland wishing I was riding but using the time to catch up on your reviews - Keep up the good work!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you David - sounds like you have a great evening ahead!! :0)

[@robscherer]

Unbelievable review, awesome! Probably the best on KZbin. If you don't mind me asking, what were the brown/black sort of sneaker boots you were wearing in this video at 9:27?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Very kind of you - they are my Prexport Street Boots - if you Google them you should be able to find my review.....

[@ДенисКесаев-з2т]

Looks like a solid bike for the purpose and fantastic review, many thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks for watching!

[@mjs.910]

Another 1st class review. Can I ask Mr tmf if you are going to review the new/updated Street scrambler for 2019 with more power, better brakes etc...???

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I hope so - not had the opportunity to yet though....

[@chiltern46]

Another good review M/ Flyer. Given I ride so much at night it was good to see you mention the lights on the scramber. My Tiger XC lights and dash are fantastic at night but I might now give the Steve McQueen retro toy a go.Keep it up.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Lawrence will do....

[@alexanders1365]

Strange, the fuel cap on my Street Scramler is lockable. I love this bike. It is so much fun to ride!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Alexander S Yes it turns out this was unusual in not having one, normally they are lockable...

[@Oliver-co7xl]

What would be the annual costs for that bike or the street or speed twin. I would love where Triumph bikes are compared to Honday cb650r or Suzuki SV650. Thx

MissendenFlyer, how do you keep the exhaust pipes clean. Mine have blotchy dark stains after a few months of riding. Do you use any products to prevent that or clean them? Thanks!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Ezequiel Oh dear, have you spoken to the dealer about it? If you can't clean them using a metal polish maybe you have grounds for a warranty claim??

[@paulmorris3022]

My local garage is Tesco, but i find i don't get as many miles to the tank compared to when i fill up at Asda where it seems to go further. strange

[@ravenprince.23]

I think riding or driving in the UK would make me have anxiety! What is going on with all those squiggly lines?

[@jde9095]

You answered every question i had on this bike. Thank You!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Great!

[@fabricel2600]

Hallo. No problems with black engine paint after rain or washing ? No rust problems ?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nope

[@craigmiddleton7669]

Hi, can you tell me if the breaks are in fact strong enough or should I go for the XC ?

[@spookblessure510]

Hello there 👋🏻 Are you going to ride the new Street Scrambler too? I’d like to know how you feel about it… I’d like to buy one, but I’m 1.81m and I’m afraid I’m to tall for this bike 😬 Keep up the great work mate!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I’d like too….

[@kyotosal]

Hi Sir! Does the black part of the exhaust also protect your leg from the heat?

[@pickledawg453]

Does the exhaust shield ever get hot on long trips? That's my main concern with this bike. Great video, love your long term reviews.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nope, the heat shield is a thing of great wonder, can put your hand on it after a ride and you don't burn yourself....

[@pickledawg453]

TheMissendenFlyer Cheers!

[@jamieslater6515]

Did I spy a Furygan jacket there? Thinking about going French soon, what do you make of it and their quality compared to A*'s etc?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Jamie Slater Its brilliant, excellent quality and I think I'm right in saying has a lifetime guarantee. Just as good as the bigger manufacturers...

[@gregpark6601]

This bike is definitely supplied with a lockable fuel cap as standard from factory, a rather nice one at that!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes you're not the first to mention it - I actually rather liked the non-lockable one but the lockable version does make more sense...

[@gregpark6601]

TheMissendenFlyer I've got to say that one does look nice and clean. Top review of a great Bike I have to add!

[@Tom-jc2fq]

Missenden. What do you wash your bike with? Normal dishwasher soap?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You need to see >> kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4vGgWqBhpWgfZI for full details!

[@marcr660907]

Do you think the bike misses out not having the 1200 engine? As you've ridden the T120 recently I'm interested in your perspective. Thanks TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Marc Russell No in this case I don't think it does, great machine and no lack of power....

[@DirectorLJ]

Hey Missenfly. Big fan. Thanks for your great work. Writing on a rather old vid but in case you catch this: I'm considering a Str. Scrambler and they've gone an upgraded it already! Based on what you know about these '19 upgrades, and assuming a 17-18 would be now priced very attractively (feeling bad for my dealer who gets stuck with previous gens) is the '19 an absolute 'go for the newest' vs. bang-buck of previous gen? I am pulled by the HP bump (Some secondary Highway commuting, not so much A road) and the supposedly better front brake, although let's face it, getting 'Brembo' on the visible front caliper is part of the point there. Thoughts? Thanks!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I'd go for the older model and save some cash - great bike!

[@DirectorLJ]

@@TheMissendenFlyer that's what I'm thinking. The discount will pay for a lot of farklization. That's a technical term, mind.

[@abhishekilke9426]

Am a bit late to the video i guess! Just wanted to ask some questions! 1. I am 6'2, not so heavy build I don't want it to look small, do you think it will suit me? 2. I live in India, so the traffic is alot busy and the weather is hot. So does the engine and the exhaust emit heat which burns your thighs? 3. Do you miss the 6th gear?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hi Abhishek - (1) Tricky one, you may look a bit big on it, best to try one and see (Sorry!) (2)No, no more than any other cool running bike, you'll be fine on that (3) Nope, I don't.....

[@tsav6952]

It's a looker no doubt and sounds like a hoot to ride. On a side note your roads on that side of the pond are so narrow. Big pick up trucks wouldn't work so well like they do on the this side of the pond. Another enjoyable review! Cheers!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+T Sav I think petrol prices here rule out big pickup trucks as much as anything else!

[@Shining_Whit]

Great review as always TMF. I am still hankering after one of these as I found it to be so much fun (bit like yourself). Have a word with Triumph when you take the bike back, it should have had a locking fuel cap as standard like the T100 etc. I got 61.7 mpg riding it normally. 150 miles on a 12 liter tank is very frugal indeed!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes odd that, perhaps the original locking one got pinched! :0)

[@threepot5874]

I'd be interested in this as a replacement for my tiger. Shame their not made in the UK?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+threepot As long as the quality is there what difference does it make where they're made??

[@waynecompton7612]

Good Evening TMF thank you for the review ,a nice looking bike . Take Care.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Wayne...

[@spetersonmusic]

Loved the review and love the look of that bike. I've sat on one at the Triumph dealership and it is a good looker for sure. Fuel prices in the UK are.... alarmingly high! lol.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Tell me about it Scott! Try filling up an aeroplane with aviation fuel in the UK, that'll make your eyes water....

[@JoseOchoa-dw9vk]

I appreciate your videos. Very well done informative.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Jose.....

[@s.crambling3795]

Is the Scrambler value for money when you can buy an adventure bike for half the money? Ridden it, loved it, but it is up there in pricing and its not fully off-road. Your thoughts?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well it's more of a styling/fashion exercise isn't it, rather than a serious off-roader - I think if you want a Sunday afternoon cruiser between coffee shops then this is the one to have, if you want to cross continents with some dusty tracks get an ADV bike...

[@smiffyb25]

think you could review the 2017 mt09 tracer? I'm looking at getting one and would be interested in your opinion. I did see your mt07 video.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+smiffyb25 Funnily enough I'm riding it on Tuesday....stay tuned for my review!

[@smiffyb25]

TheMissendenFlyer, yes!

[@saintetienne755]

Excellent review, great video, keep up the good work

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+Saint Etinne Thank you

[@Boy.of.wonder]

Morning fella, cracking review! Bought one and waiting for it to arrive however slightly concerned of stories regarding the brushed aluminium parts going spotty, did you notice this at all? I’m worried about the spokes and rust too. Hopefully some TLC will stop any of that in its tracks though

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I didn't notice it on this one but I did on the Bobber and the T120's I borrowed, it does seem to be a problem on these bikes, if it were me I'd get it either lacquered or swapped out for a black case....what a pain!! Great bike though...congrats!!

[@adambainbridge1047]

Great video mate, what was that spray you used on the bike? Cheers

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

What when I cleaned the bike you mean? It was Autoglym motorcycle cleaner amzn.to/2tZwz80 I use this as a pre cleaner now instead of Muc-off....

[@adambainbridge1047]

TheMissendenFlyer thankyou, ordered now 👌 all the best from oz

[@stirlingshire]

I can't say I've ever been a fan of the Scrambler's looks before, but seeing it in all black with the lighting in your garage, it looks quite the treat! Great review, TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you, and glad I may have turned you...I loved this bike as you can tell....
