Triumph Street Scrambler Launch Review (first Ride)

[@141163rjh]

I've had my Scrambler 5 days and I'm still smiling. Love it.....

[@steveottavaino3804]

Great review, terrific reviewer. At 11:03 in my dingle tingled looking at those pine needles clumped on the side of the road, something I deal with every fall around here. Cheers!!!

[@A_Dogs_Breakfast]

Thanks for the Scrambler review... This is the one I've been waiting for... and it was worth the wait, especially since I received a notification from Triumph last week that my new Street Scrambler (Green) "has completed final assembly and crossed the pond, your dealer will contact you when it's prepped and ready for pick-up". The "welcome to the Street Scrambler family" was a nice touch as well. I subscribe to several bike channels but 'Bike World' is my go to site for motorcycle news and information. Keep up the great work! I think a shootout between the various Scramblers would be fun, but obviously I'm a little biased.

[@A_Dogs_Breakfast]

Have you heard anything else yet? My dealer says he hasn't received any information from Triumph.

[@A_Dogs_Breakfast]

Thought I would let you know that my Triumph dealer called today and has a VIN. He said they should have the bike in house and ready to go in about a week. Hopefully you're getting the same call.

[@v4forlife]

Nice one lads. As you said, as much as super high power is fun and all, this and the Desert Sled are the 2 that I have been interested in. I went from my SP1 to a Speed triple and I love the Triumph, so much fun and so usable, even take it greenlaning, admittedly along the most gentle of lanes on the driest of days.....

[@deormanrobey892]

Glad to see the return of standard motorcycle. Tired of no choice for street bikes besides fake harleys and crotch rockets.

[@guywolff]

I have just gotten off of a Yamaha 1700 Midnight Star and onto this bike ... I ride 10% highway 10% dirt and 80 % ragged back roads with twists and bumps.. I love how light 460 pounds is after 740 pounds of bike .. The tires are great on the gravel .. In fact with the first week and 1000 miles I bet I have done 200 of those miles on dirt and washed out gravel back roads.. I have seen more of my county than I knew about ..I just met a teenage bear on one track .. On the thruway she is happy at 75 with lots more to give and flickable as needed .. THis is a great bike ...

[@CaptainRambunctious]

Really enjoyable review! Thanks chaps!

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Cheers!

[@Chewygsxr]

Great review and very good action video footage.

[@imraanarbee5363]

Been looking at a new bike for a while, watched the review, booked a test ride this afternoon with Bulldog Triumph, ordered one straight away!!! Matt green with brown seat and a load of extra's. Can't wait.

[@markjacobs6294]

I've owned almost every Hinkley Triumph model since 1995. I currently have a Tiger 800 XCa and a Street Scram. I find myself only riding the Scram...if they'd make it compatible with cruise control, it would be the perfect "do all" for most.

[@stephenauty2402]

Brilliant review again..well done. It's everything you want to know without all the nonsense.

[@141163rjh]

The smile did it for me, after a 30 min test ride I couldn't stop smiling. Goodbye to the Z1000SX hello Triumph :)

[@paulbuchanan3295]

Nice one John, good review and this has made me want one even more. Thanks

[@sumitshaw3620]

Great Review. I loved the vedio and it has seriously motivated me to go for the Scrambler. With love from India. 🇮🇳

[@gwwayner]

I think it is the larger front wheel with the front end geometry that makes the difference off road. I once had a 1976 Bonneville (with 19 inch front wheel) that always felt so confident on a dirt or gravel road. If you ride a modern sport-bike (like my 2010 STR 675) on a gravel road you feel like you will wipe out any second!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

What a splendid looking bike - can't wait to give one a good go myself. I agree that it is super-cool looking, but you know when you said it made you look cool......well....... ;0) I'm no great fashion guru, but maybe lose the yellow glasses and go for some McQueenesque goggles??...just sayin'! Great film though, really enjoyed watching it and keep up the great work - All the best - TMF

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks TMF, it's an integrated yellow visor by the way...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

....hacksaw blade???

[@nathanielcruz4364]

i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

[@dariustristen6263]

@Nathaniel Cruz instablaster =)

[@nathanielcruz4364]

@Darius Tristen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@frankpinion4937]

Can you somehow put 2 panniers on the bike-I haven't found anything other than if you custom make something. I'm looking at one with the Arrow pipe which is probably more compact as it's a 2 into 1. Also do they all have traction control on this later model? Would you advise using traction control going through a river to avoid wheel spin? What do you need (service tool) if servicing the bike yourself to remove the service reminder?

[@tpv59]

Thank you. Excellent simple honest review, Well done.

[@Ekim1976]

Enjoyed your video and honest comments. Also good humour.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks

[@mancavemoto]

Nice video, and how comfy is the j.o! I love mine. If this was available when i bought my street twin I would have chosen it. It's obviously almost the same bike, but just felt different in a good way

[@85hthapa]

Dude, That smile is Genuine , no doubt on that , lol . and Love the review and the bike also.

[@johna6968]

The matt green is a thing of beauty

[@shakinsherlock66]

Quality review. Good work fella

[@drmfreeman]

Great review. Waiting for my green Scrambler to get to the States.

[@kingclueless]

Nice review dude, actually got me interested in a bike that isn't really my scene tbh :) Keep up the good work!

[@lalthatpuiajoseph7869]

i love trumph.more than davidson

[@chr11sf]

9:08 freudian slip John or do you know something we don't lol?!?...twice this has happened now 😉......great vid btw, and them roads did indeedy look awesome!

[@SuperBikesince1977]

Freudian mate, unfortunately.

[@Max-dj5qj]

Where exactly was it filmed in Spain? Great review, one of the best Moto channels in KZbin! Keep on guys, thanks a lot for this high quality. Makes me wanna ride now!

[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

What is the music used at the start and end of the Review? It has a very feel good vibe to it. Makes you fall for the lovely bike.

[@martinbuchanan6312]

Great review, love it. Well Presented.

[@tonydare7614]

Great review thanks. Made me laugh too. Everyone seems to agree on the smile factor for this bike. I'm going to get a test ride. But most of my riding will be central Paris so I'm not sure whether it's the best option, although it would no doubt do as well as most bikes out there. I just wish I liked the look of the high pipes more. Don't they burn your legs? Look lethal.

[@SuperBikesince1977]

Tony this would be a great bike in Paris. Visibility is good thanks to that upright riding position, there's plenty of leverage through those bars and it's punchy enough to get you ahead of the big scooters. I had no issues with heat near my leg, let alone catching a burn. I live in London and was riding on the launch thinking how good it'd be as a busy city bike, give it a chance and test ride one, I don't think you'd regret it.

[@tonydare7614]

Hi, thanks a lot. I'm testing it next week. I wish I was back in London; it's so much more fun riding there. Scooters are, as you say, the biggest hazard here. And there are few open roads, just backed up traffic. But I guess it would be a good bike to go for weekend rides too. Really looking forward to the test ride.

[@SuperBikesince1977]

How was it, Tony?

[@tonydare7614]

Had to put off the test as they hadn't received the test model! Going to schedule the test in the next couple of weeks. Also going to try the r-nine t and the Ducati café racer..

[@rd2246]

Very well explained thanks 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@happyscrappy370]

Still worth replacing the exhaust w arrow 2:1 w Out baffle ? And the brown seats too ?

[@kernplace37]

Another A-1, top notch review

[@brutalbigmac]

Is counterleaning against the turn the recommended technique when riding scramblers through twisties?

[@c.g.c2067]

Was thinking that the only thing I dislike about the St.Scrambler are the exhaust way to big, intrusive a super hot in summer

[@garmit61]

What's the red paint made of; unicorn's blood? How has the transfer of manufacturing to Thailand made Triumphs so expensive?

[@PDylanW]

Is there any news on Triumph releasing a scrambler with the new 1200? I love the 900cc but would absolutely jump at a 1200cc liquid cooled option

[@Banditmanuk]

PDylanW The engine in this is water cooled, basically is a lower cc version of the 1200.

[@lennykibbs260]

Sorry a little off topic- Is that the Shoei JO that you're wearing in the video? if so, is it really 2 pounds in weight.. supposed to hit American shores soon, wondering if it's worth the wait, or sjust go with the Simpson M-30 carbon... Thanks

[@SuperBikesince1977]

It's a good fit, Lenny. Light, comfortable and the integrated visor is pretty handy. I think it looks good as well. I'd say it'll be worth the wait. JH

[@lennykibbs260]

Thanks JH

[@LuisPedroCalmetOtero]

My dream bike... What I would give to ride on it here in Peru. Just perfect!

[@LuisPedroCalmetOtero]

¡The Big Bang jajaja bien! ¡Admirando las motos! ¿Tú cómo vas?

[@lennykibbs260]

JH- Meant to ask, how is the built in visor on high speed / highway use- is it enough to completely block wind from your eyes? Thanks in advance

[@SuperBikesince1977]

Yes, it's okay up to about 90 but you need to tip your head a little at higher speed.

[@lennykibbs260]

Thanks!!

[@bobthomas2812]

Really looks like a winner, The XC 1200 might be a step up but to much $ for me, and I still would have my KTM 690E in the stable. I believe they would make good mates. BRAAP

[@juliancain6128]

Awesome review!

[@fjuno78]

Is that metzeler tourance tire made in China? Just curious

[@mark223556]

Great review, another bike I want

[@drsunitasatishsakure294]

thank you so much for the reply. it was quick......

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

No worries, we're always here.

[@threepot5874]

great review

[@Jake-tt6mk]

Thanks bud, much appreciated!

[@berndroder3252]

Decent review. I liked the music very much as well. Name of the song, please.

[@lucamenna8208]

I am just wondering if the high silencer is gonna burn my Gf legs out...

[@ripmax333]

I don't think triumph is stupid enough not to make there research and testing before they put it into production, I won't worry about it if i were you.

[@FlorinNitulescu_1]

Relax, the pipe under the passenger’s leg is even cooler than the part under the rider’s leg. The pipe gets hot up front, but doesn’t burn anyway. It’s not a bike to ride in shorts obviously.

[@zxc9884761]

Does it have liquid cooling?

[@mikefrancais]

A dealer in Nashville has one. Others don't!

[@calebe16]

isnt scratching pedals a bad/dangerous thing?

[@cafesportster642]

amazing review

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Thanks

[@drsunitasatishsakure294]

whats the milage is it according to the numbers officially given by triumph or not...and is it worth the buy..plss reply

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

It is worth a buy, go and have a ride!

[@FUBAR956]

As a fat American I'm used to bigger bikes. I wonder how I'd feel on a 900 cc bike. I know the T120 is 1200cc but I like the styling of this Scrambler more. Also, at 5'7", anybody have an idea how tall it is?

[@hardimanestates]

hi, can you tell me the location in Spain please

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

This was west of Seville Tim, we might be able to get the riding route for you.

[@hardimanestates]

Thsnks, route would be great.

[@weekendwarrior4288]

Plastic Skid-plate?

[@bobz1736]

love it...!!

[@h34p]

"if you live in a city" damnit.. i want it and i live up in the mountains..

[@droptuned83]

It's really nice , it's really not an off road bike though.

[@mikeyerke3920]

< I guess I need another Scrambler... lol

[@solusbelmont]

Unless you me and you got no money.... Which is... Which is me... 😅 I feel the pain bro...

[@clintlautner9542]

If you drop it, you can pick it up by yourself. No problem.

[@BladeBarn]

Says he has no skill then STANDS IT UP.........

[@matslack6220]

Najs

[@leemacdonald6533]

If only this was a bigger bike with a higher seat

[@cshatfireball]

thats a fucking sexy bike

[@chrisbiggs4794]

Another triumph..... on triumph world....

[@johna6968]

I thought it, but didnt say it

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

We've still go the Street Triple to go, you'll be the first to know when it's up.

[@TheJoe89jan]

These new Triumph Scramblers just aren't doing it as the pre-2015 models.

[@raymondo162]

Four-chord muzak loops are NEVER acceptable...................

[@TheJoe89jan]

The Street scrambler suck. The original scamblers are better.

[@frankpinion4937]

great review
