Triumph Scrambler

Our Review

Reviewed: by Visordown
Most bike manufacturers have realised there's a market for retro-style bikes. And nobody, for my money, is doing a better job of satisfying that craving than Triumph.The look of the Scrambler is spot-on. Its spoked wheels, fork gaiters, two-tone tank, rear pegs bolted onto the swing-arm and twin exhausts send ...  Continue reading

This is a stonkingly good bike. I bought a 2006 model in 2008 with 2,000 miles, and when i sold it I had covered another 10,500 miles, mainly leisure riding and some commuting. It handles everything well, it ta Continue reading...

Makes riding at almost legal speed so much fun. I've had bikes with more then twice the power, and this bike is just as much fun. Great for dirt and gravel roads too. Im 6'1" and could ride it 600km in a day no Continue reading...

A smooth bike with awesome sound and coolness. I´ve taken it for a long touring trip, and it did the job perfectly alongside all the GS´es, CBF´es etc. +you also look cool touring.

Any idiot who bolts the pillion footpegs directly on to the swing-arm ought to be drowned at birth. Rather have no rear footpegs at all than subject your poor pillion to an insane lower-leg torture test.

Relax mate, the pillion footpegs are in fact mounted on a trussed brakett that is part of the main frame.  On the Thruxton, and other Bonneville models the low exhaust bolts to the other side of the same braket.  The footpeg does not go up and down with the swingarm on the new Thruxton/Scrambler/Bonneville bikes. 

My wife and I often set out for trips on my 2006 scrambler.  It is one of the most comfortable bikes for the pillion.  The new Bonnies (includes the scrambler) are fantastic fun

 Cheers,
