Yamaha SCR950 Scrambler 2020 Test Ride and Specs

[@ridiosaurus7972]

I've always wanted to ride one of these. For me it's a cool looking bike

[@jakescoolbtw]

Yeah man I love the retro look to it

[@Darkvisor]

I hope you will get to one day then! They are nice to just ride around on and enjoying the traffic / nature =) Thanks for watching

[@paulcosgrove6160]

An excellent and accurate road test as always. I agree 100% with your comments and I haven't bought one either.

[@Darkvisor]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul. Thanks for watching! =)

I have one of these bikes, I bought a discounted left over 2017. It's the best scrambler on the market by far, the thing is scramblers are suppose to suck a little. If you want a fast, do everything, nice bike you buy a adventure bike not a scrambler, if you want a unique cruiser that can go down a dirt road you buy a scrambler.

[@Darkvisor]

Greetings. The definition of a scrambler seems to vary depending on who you ask or where you read. In my book this isn't a scrambler really. I'm not going to talk more about that, everyone thinks differently. I have nothing against this bike and I'm happy to hear that you have one and that you enjoy it. Feel free to check out my channel further, I have loads of other test rides with other scramblers and adventure bikes, cruiser, sport, minibikes etc... =) Thanks for watching and have an awesome day! =)

[@block672008]

There are sports bikes there, nakeds and whole buch of other machines. You ever rode a dirt bike ? This thing looks like a wishful copy of a HD Sportster with a different bar, called a scrambler;) "Unique cruiser that can go down a dirt road" you never been down a dirt road on a chopper-like bike weighing 250 kg - or else you ride it every so often pulling off the main road to get to you yard. Lamest stuff I've head...what fucking pleasue is it to ride a dirt road o a bulky copy of HD Sportster that's totally retarded on dirt?;) this is a road cruiser all it is...

[@nseric1233]

@@block672008 I used to race dirt bikes and own a dr650 for riding serious off road adventures. There's a lot of dirt roads in my area I cant avoid so I bought a cruiser I dont mind getting dirty for local rides, I dont need a good off road bike, anything with wheels can go where I take the scr950.

[@nseric1233]

@@block672008 I've had and raced a bunch of dirt bikes. You missed my point, the bike sucks off road but it's fine for the smooth dirt roads I cant avoid. I have a different bike a dr650 for off road adventure stuff.

[@remaxhudson]

I got to test ride one last year A 2017 which was the only year they sold this in the USA. I'd agree on two things. The air filters are way to far out and get in the way of hugging the tank and it felt heavy. I also hated the gauge setup. I should have bought it though at the 5,000 USD price the dealer had it listed for. I think I'd get used to it after a while. I have a FJR1300 that took a while to get used to but now I love it.

Thanks. I have one just because I wanted a , more-of-a-street bike, to add to my Husqvarna TR650 Terra and It was cheap. My bought my 2017 for $5,500 as a 2 year old new left-over in 2019. The MSRP was $8699. I guess there is a premium in Scandinavia? I want to visit Sweden very much. I've been to Norway but long for Sweden. Thanks again. Skal..

They marketed this thing wrong, it’s a flat tracker not a scrambler. XSR dash, and some other slight adjustment would have made this perfect. Sad because I really like the look.

[@Darkvisor]

Yeah... whoever came up with that design should resign.. Thanks for watching Viper

[@anotherguyonabike4726]

I think Yamaha could have done such a better job than this, 40kw at 250kgs that’s some hard work off road haha. Great vid tho man didn’t even know they made one till I watched this👌

[@Darkvisor]

Yeah this bike is a joke really. At least naming/labeling it a scrambler. It's a nice normal bike to cruise around on but def not a scrambler =P Thanks for watching!

[@ekimandersom4478]

@@Darkvisor Do you know what a scrambler is? A road bike modded for some terrain. This Yamaha is exactly what a scrambler should be!

[@Darkvisor]

@@ekimandersom4478 I disagree. Well maybe what you write is true. But in my opinion this bike isn't modded at all for some terrain other than asphalt, hence not fitting the name scrambler. Thanks for watching Ekim

@@Darkvisor In History thats what a scrambler was, just a cruiser with some off road tires and removed some bits. But in the modern day sense this isn't a scrambler as the others .

[@JumpingWatermelons]

The speedometer design is a like a slap in the face. Like they had the rest of the bike finished, and whoever's job it was to design that was super pissed and said "fuck these customers, HERE, have fun looking at this"

[@MargusMoto]

Oh man, how I wanted to like this bike when it was first announced.. But so many problems with this one even before I've ridden it - like belt driven scrambler?!? Surely this can't be a good idea.. And that gap between the tank and triple-clamp would constantly drive me bananas. Unless that round black dash with a small square whole would drive me mad before... And don't be hating on the learners for not waving, trust me, they usually have all their attention on not crashing the bike :D Especially while on a turn.. I mean, I know I was :P

[@Darkvisor]

This isn't a scrambler... It's a Yamaha Bolt with another frame! =P Nah, No hate... Just an observation from myself. Everytime I see a learner on the road, I always wave to see if they wave back. I think maybe 1-2 has... But they were probably older and knows about the whole riding culture before. I think many new riders just doesn't know about the whole waving thing. =) Thanks for watching and commenting electro! =)

[@Darkvisor]

Thanks for watching

[@guest4002]

Love the bike but id does have a couple downers one in my opinion is footpeg position. It gets in the way of property walking the bike also you get no grip from anything except holding onto the bars and thats a no no when off road! Torque is great mid range awesome but short on top end! 5th gear to short for my taste, one major factor for me also specially if you're doing occasional offload is the rear caliper location, the line and caliper are exposed and literally 3 inches from the ground 😳 hit a rock 🪨 or a log riding and by brake line and posibly damage caliper! Last but never least, fuel consumption and range capacity! Drinks as much as my harley but range is like 100 miles top with intake and exhaust. Over all fun town bike and a good bike for your occasional light trails but sucks on all terrain
