Great review of you first day with your Street Scrambler. I got the Sandstorm in May and absolutely love it (done over 1600km through the beaches south of Sydney). You are spot on with the power, perfect for roads, overtakes on motorway with ease and revs at about 4000rpm at 120km/h. With the exhaust, it can get warm when riding in slow traffic, but never hot. The pillion exhaust protector doesn't get hot at all. Safe riding and have fun on a beautiful bike,

Owned one of these for 2 years now ( first of the 65bhp models ) the white tank one which to my eyes suits the Scrambler better than any other colour. , the one Triumph used it in all the promotion shots . I have now covered almost 7000 miles despite Covid restrictions . I've owned 30+ bikes over the years , and I just LOVE the Scrambler . Its one of those bike's that is greater than the sum of its parts , FAR more than just a Street Twin with a makeover . The style , riding position and sound just gel and suit the platform so well , everything feels right about it. It sounds a cliche but its can do everything , its so comfy and laid back like a cruiser if you want it to be , but give it some beans and it turns into a snarling surprisingly quick little hooligan with enough grunt to overtake anything with ease . You must get out of the city onto some real roads though .. its just fantastic blasting around twisty B roads and country lanes . With the exhaust barking away as you ride the torque it's a bike that reminds you what real motorcycling is all about !

It's great to see the bike in real situations - i.e. parked up and admiring it from a distance as, let's face it, that's a big part of the ownership decision. 👍

I have a 2022 1200xe and the hot exhaust is something I actually like, it’s often cold in Canada even in the summer and I like feeling the warmth on my leg. If I were in your situation I’d probably skip the scrambler because of the pillion situation. I agree with your assessment about having 65hp. That’s probably the sweet spot for street riding, I see 120hp+ bikes on the road, and they’re in 1st or 2nd gear all day, it’s boring. Great vid as usual!

Thanks Ian! I'm already used to the high exhaust and now don't find it an issue at all👌👌 Couldn't agree more re the 120hp+ bikes. I like the SS so much I think I'd make it work- especially with a bench seat I can imagine it'd transform it!

Great video Freddie. I purchased Street Scrambler (Urban Grey) and this bike has been absolute beauty. I loved it at first sight when I entered the showroom. The power is perfect for our roads in mountains. The high torque makes it easy to ride. The bike is super nimble besides its weight. You're right it does get a day or 2 to get used to those high exhaust pipes but they don't burn leg. The back cover for pilion is also good and hasn't burnt anyone leg yet. The engine does get hot in traffic and exhaust also start sending heat too, but it is all manageable. This is for me the perfect retro bike. Looks great, feels great and runs smoothly. Edit- I am 5,6" and seat height is perfectly manageable for me. I can't flat foot both feet but the weight management is great so there's no problems at all with this.

That's a very good deal for a bike with those extras. You did forget to mention the other goodies that this has, that the standard doesn't. This not only has the pillion replacement tray, the dual front fender and the exclusive color... it also has a metal skid plate, a front headlight guard/screen and the fuel tank side pads. Very nice adds for this price.

I just bought the 2022 street scrambler. Love it! In Virginia it gets hot in the summer so I use a pair of adventure style boots and they shield the exhaust. It gets hot especially in traffic. I also ordered a faring shield because it gets windy on the highway. Such a comfortable bike and really decent power even on the highway. I have a fast sport bike for long travel but this is a great second bike for the countryside, and yes it looks cool and that counts. 😎

Picked my Sandstorm up last month. I can't get off it!! Brilliant bike. The exhaust is fine, you can lay your hands on the guards whilst still hot and it's warm but won't burn. The engine is superb around town, and when you want to get a move on, it is quite quick, as you say on today's pot-holed roads. I have fitted the large, side bag on mine. The rack slightly spoils the look but you get a practical option for the bike. Which is what it's all about. Fun, practical and looks way cooler than most bikes that I have owned. Just working out what to do with my other bikes now as the Triumph "does it all". Great review :)

Dear Freddie. Enjoyed that video a lot since I own a 2017 version of the street scrambler! I ride this bike for 3 months now and I’m highly addicted, engine is balanced and the look is perfect. As you said, high exhaust is the main pain point, it’s not burning but it can be very hot and annoying in warm weather. In addition the bike is also warming very quickly during town commute, bike cooling is active and loud after 15/20min ride. I’ve also changed the seat to a triumph bench seat as the previous seat + luggage rack was highly unconfortable for passengers. Enjoy the ride ✌🏻

@@FreddieDobbs Yes I love the color as well! Obviously my first choice would have been the Sandstorm but my Triumph local pusher informed me that its been long sold out! Oh well... I would like to ask your opinion on my last and final doubt: is there a huge gap between the Street Scrambler and the Bonneville when it comes to riding 2 up? I understand that the Bonneville is the best chioce, but is the Scrambler far behind in this sense? I want to get a bike that allows me to bring my wife along as much as possible. I'm still going to be doing most of my riding alone, which is the reason why I will probably be going with the Scrambler in any case, but I'd like to get her involved more, so the last thing I wanna do is get a bike where the passenger doesn't enjoy the ride.

Nice one Fredster. The 2021 Street Scrambler is a beautiful looking thing. A take on board your points re horse power and I agree this 900cc bike is perfect for short distance commuting and riding in city traffic. I am more of a fan of the xe1200 after test riding one out of Triumph Great Dunmow. Among other things I liked the high riding position. At 5ft 10 I had no issues with getting my feet flat . I might even consider one at some point and swap it out with my RnineT scrambler.

I went from a 2018 Street Scrambler to the Scrambler Steve McQueen edition a couple weeks ago. I loved my Street Scrambler, but I love my Steve McQueen more. The high pipes do get hot. After a long ride I had to move my leg out whilst waiting in traffic. I'm sure in the last few years they have increased the HP. I'm sure my 2018 was 55BPH. I'm a big guy (23st) and the Street was perfect up to 60mph. But overtaking at speed there sometimes just wasn't enough power. With the 1200 Scrambler no issues.

I'm fairly new to your site and hence a bit late to this thread. I owned a Street Scrambler which I upgraded to a new Scrambler 1200xc last year. I must say that having owned and ridden both a for a reasonably distance, I'd say that, whilst the 1200 is better in several areas... mid range power, pillion space, LED lights etc... I'd still say that the 900 is a great bike, and much better value than the 1200. I also think the Street Scrambler is the better looking of the two. As far as heat coming off the bike from the high level exhaust. I didn't ever notice an issue with the Street Scrambler, but the 1200 can give off an uncomfortable amount of heat, especially in slow traffic on a hot day. If you want to take a pillion (which I do), then it would definitely be the 1200 but if not then I'd save the money and get the Street Scrambler.

Nice looking scrambler except for the high exhaust. How long were you riding before you felt the heat on your leg? The weather looks nice there. In Texas and generally the southern U.S. in the summer it regularly gets around a 100 degrees or over. I can't imagine riding such a nice scrambler for less than an hour from the heat off the pipes. Many bikes sell within the first yr of owning in the SOUTH when this is learned the hard way. But I agree a very nice looking scrambler.

But the question is, do you know if you could flip this lower guard by 180° so the longer part of the cover is orientated to the front side? I think this would look much better. Greetings Norbert

Hi , Yes the blue is a better color , any thing with hi level exhausts , we use to call Slow cookers , always made one , feel hungry , with the smell of rare meat cooking . The T 100 is a better size as the T120 always looks better for cruising , it is just the stance . A bike with space for only one wardrobe and a small rack at the back for the spices to season the dinner , it ,s up to your choice . This is up to your enthusiastic best and thanks to Monika for the shadows , which made it look like , a girl with a pony tail riding the bike . So may be Monika should design a bike , starting with the seats , the big old Cruiser BMW TYPE or may be the ones on my Rewaco CT800 . Thanks for the video ,ride an stay safe .

A lot of manufacturers want to produce bikes that cross over uses, (cars did it too) it's the best way to sell to more people. I'll be interested in how it fairs off the road. I'm guessing not hard core off road, and it's not really set up for proper touring. Mmm jack of all trades maybe, but looks well 👍

I've got some really good bikes to compare it to for off roading (Himalayan, 1200 XC and even the Mutt Mastiff 250cc), so I'm very curious how it compares to those!🙂

Hello from Texas - really appreciate the review. Freddie, 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.

Good review but for two up and distance riding I reckon your bike it just looks much more comfortable although the street scrambler is a nice looking urban sort of fun ride around but limited . Look forward to seeing how you get on with it oh and Monica does a great job too . Cheers Freddie : )

You do definitely lose some practicality with the Scrambler! Thanks Malcolm, I've passed this on to Monika (always appreciated).🙂
