Last Ride on the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, wow this bike surprised me a lot! 😮 engine, handling, suspension, brakes. Is this the perfect bike? Watch and find out 😁 DONT FORGET to SUBSCRIBE 👍 cheers Nick @ MotoUK

I love my Triumph. Every ride makes me happy and that's all that matters.

[@MOTOUK1]

Exactly 🙏👍

I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the new Triumph Scrambler. I was initially taken with the looks of the bike, never before having actually ridden a Triumph. I put a deposit down in April 2024, and took delivery in June 2024. After riding the bike for a few weeks, I really like it, and enjoy all the great features of the bike. The torque and power, and the comfortable riding position really make the bike. It’s a bit heavy, which I am getting used to. The suspension is a bit stiff compared to my KLR650 and CRF300 Rally, but for a bike of it’s size that’s to be expected. Down here in Texas that exhaust heat is a real factor, but it is not a deal breaker for me. Our winters here in Texas are erratic, but, I’m hoping that the exhaust heat will help out in the colder months. I have yet to take the Scrambler off-road, but am looking forward to it. Everyone says that it’s very capable off-road. Thanks for a great, informative review. Happy Trails!

[@MOTOUK1]

Welcome and ride safe 👍

[@HoldenMcGroin]

What’s up brother, Gen 3 klr650 rider here. I really like the scrambler but have not ridden it. Did you trade in your KLR for the scrambler or do you own both?

[@aidyf4215]

I’ve got a Steve McQueen and live in Oz, no problems with heat from exhaust.

[@MOTOUK1]

Good to hear Aidy 👍 This Bike really is great, and you have the SM edition even better. Awesome 👏 thanks for the Sub too 🙏

[@Chewwy1973]

I’ve got the XC and I love it. Got the Racing green tank. Engine guards. Luggage paneer. It looks amazing

[@MOTOUK1]

Love the scramblers 👍

[@ColGadarby]

They took a stock version on the Baja 1000 race - and it did very well. I would say that it is a very capable bike off road....Just too nice to thrash. The XC not as good as it doesn't have the travel the XE does.

[@williamjones6478]

Good vid with regards decating there is a procedure to follow after fitting one start bike don’t touch throttle let it tick over until fan comes on switch off restart and the engine management system will reread and it will be fine I done that with my 2019 t120 no problem.

[@MOTOUK1]

Awesome thanks 🙏

[@kennethcooley3445]

I love my Steve McQueen model XE. 750 miles and find it is superior to the vast majority of motorcycles out there. This is my 53rd bike to own in 16 years. My Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled is now up for sale because I prefer the Triumph so much more.

[@MOTOUK1]

Isn’t it just, I found it on another level, that suspension was amazing 🤩 good to get your feedback cheers 🍻 thanks for being a subscriber 🙏

[@Georgedaniel70]

I got #481.changed the ugly mirrors to the TECBIKEPARTS silver ones that go in the end of the handle bars. Way better look and I can see behind me now.

[@2002Oxford]

If this is the 21 model the cat is no longer under the leg as in the 2019-20 version, it has been moved to the back hence it should no longer generate excessive heat.

[@MOTOUK1]

Well that’s a good thing, so it’s in the exhausts then? I didn’t have an issue but in past many mentioned. Good that they addressed it now 👍 thanks for sharing

[@Seanjames570]

Just taken a demo 1200xe out today, blown away by the bike. Just need to decided what colour to go for 🤪 keep up the great reviews 👍

[@MOTOUK1]

Love the XE, suspension is amazing 👍

[@bobberdude557]

I ride mine off rode and have no problem keeping up with the dual sports. Not so much single track but if it’s wide enough to turn around then it can handle it

[@MOTOUK1]

Awesome 👏 love this bike

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Super bike! I'd prefer a bigger tank but thats the only slight niggle. (Mmm its 16 perhaps a bit harsh) I wouldnt be returning it to the garage. There would be floods, an internet black zone, a plague of frogs etc

[@terryboyle]

thank you for this content

[@MOTOUK1]

Welcome 👍

[@joshr1444]

Try salter fell for your off road reviews located at the end of moor lane hornby about a 10 mile ride from lancaster, no excuses now.

[@MOTOUK1]

Great 👍 and I have some off road ish bikes coming cheers 🍻

[@MOTOUK1]

Can you email to me the location, can’t find on map exact start point? Cheers [e-mail]

[@1990-t1j]

My favourite Triumph, too. Good review.

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks 🙏 its a wonderful bike, it might be my next

[@1990-t1j]

@@MOTOUK1 Same here.

[@SBKPete]

Great review as always 👍🏻 Take care

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks 🙏

[@markb3180]

Great bike, well reviewed!

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks Mark 🙏👍

[@precludeneco]

Can't make my mind up what bike I should get in the spring. Either this or the new MT-10 :)

[@MOTOUK1]

Depends if you like a transforms look or a classic one. I need to see the 10 in the flesh before I can comment but initial it doesn’t look finished. Let’s see, oh I can’t because Yamaha are not attending Motorcycle live this year :( oh well soon be in dealers 👍 test the Scrambler, as you know I own a 10 and loved the scrambler so much

[@precludeneco]

@@MOTOUK1 I do like the retro look but that cp4 engine is just something else. I couldn't stop smiling after I test rode one at my local dealer. If yamaha would ever make a let's say XSR1000 (retro styled mt-10) I could have the best of two worlds 😁

[@MOTOUK1]

Yes I know that’s why I have a 10. On the XSR have you seen the rear of the 2022 model, totally ruined what was a nice looking retro bike

[@precludeneco]

@@MOTOUK1 I agree. I'm not sure what the people over att Yamaha design office are smoking 🙄 The new revised MT-10, MT-09 and XSR all look worse than the previous generation.

[@MOTOUK1]

They need to employ some European designers 😆

[@splodge57]

That heat from the exhaust is a big negative. May as well have the Speed Twin. Nice review.

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks 🙏

[@martinlewis8225]

Thanks for the vid, I’m a new subscriber and now in a dilemma. I currently have a speed triple 1050 and wanted to get something a little less aggressive and had been considering the speed twin, but I’m 6’2” and 16st and a few people have said I may find it a bit small. I’ve always liked the scrambler 1200 but would you consider it as a one bike only alternative to the speed triple?

[@MOTOUK1]

Hi Martin, firstly thanks for the Sub, and I’m same height and 95kg and feel the speed twin would feel small and under sprung for your weight. The Scramble XE I tested here blew me away, I could live with this as only bike yes and love the classic looks. I am awaiting the scrambler XC as that’s a little lower but there’s a slight delay to get that bike. Recommend go sit on the scrambler test ride one. I am riding today the Tiger 900 GT Pro which I like also and for our height is a super bike really for the money. Video dropping tomorrow’s on first ride and spec.

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

I love the look of this bike. But I sit on it and think damn I’m going to blasted by every semi truck on the highway 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ my triumph trophy is put away for winter now 😟😟 heading to South Korea for 3 months with work at least I’m going somewhere, kind of bored of being stuck in Canada for the last 12 months.

[@MOTOUK1]

Like every naked bike there is always wind blast! Enjoy the warmer weather in Korea

[@wakajawaka44]

Your Yamaha MT10 SP would be all over the place going round that bend!! I seem to remember you saying it was like riding on a magic carpet? Hmm what are we to believe. Thanks for uploading!

[@markieell5614]

Good review nick ,, nice bike , a think being a shorty the Xc , would be my choice 👍🏻 What riding gear are you wearing looked well 👏🏻 Cheers mark , 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻

[@MOTOUK1]

Thanks Mark, so I wear mainly bullit jeans, on this day was the RST Brixton jacket
