- My test ride and review of the 2023 Triumph Scrambler 900. Formally know as the Street Scrambler, this classic scrambler styled motorcycle is just pure joy to ride.
Pretending you are Steve McQueen, wether you are commuting through the city or cruising around your local country lane I think the 2023 Scrambler 900 could be the perfect bike. I think I have fallen in love!

I'm with you on the mental health aspect of riding a motorcycle. I also struggle with issues. Riding a motorcycle sets me free. I refer to it as "Cycletherapy". The sheer bliss of riding gets me out of the house. If it weren't for riding, I would probably stay home most of the time secluded.
💪 Hear Hear. It really us such a great form of therapy, motorcycling really got me out of a rut and continues to help me every day.
Keep riding and stay happy, all the best to you.
I know what you mean , gave up m/cycles a few years ago (62 now) arthritis unfortunately caught up badly with me .Didnt pass my car test till 5 yrs ago , rode bikes since my teens .Many times when things got crap id head out on my bike and clear my head , yeah sorted me out , should be on prescription , but as i got older somehow i live a more settled life now .But really miss my bikes .
Hearin ya mate!
Completely agree with this, riding the bike is my quiet time.
Well said.. I have an old mx5 for the same reason. I’d kill my self on a bike probably
This is an outstanding review. Explaining the very essence of a motorcycle. How a motorcycle makes you feel while riding it, the sound of the exhaust note, the way the bike looks, the places you can go. Everything I experience and enjoy on my StreetTwin.
🙌 Thank you so much I really appreciate that and so glad you enjoyed the review. That is what motorcycling is all about for me, great to hear it comes across on camera! All the best and happy riding to you. Cheers
Great review. Not overwhelming with tech specs and nice focus on what it is like to actually operate. Your videos have a great style. They don't seem overly scripted and it is like having a conversation with an old friend. Really some of the best available. Thank you for the content and wishing you the best on your journey toward better mental health.
Thanks so much I really appreciate that 👍 That is such a great compliment! I try my best to get across how it feels to ride the bike.
Thanks and all the best to you.
Picking my first one up next week…..agree with everything in your review. Such a beautiful looking motorcycle, checks all the boxes for an all-around bike.
Congratulations on your new bike 👍 I am a little envious!
Thank you for making another wonderful review! I really appreciate all of the effort you put in. It greats great to hear about how motorcycles improve your life holistically. Thanks for sharing!
It is my pleasure and so glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Motorcycling is sucha. great form of therapy, I cannot recommend it enough. All the best to you
Really like the looks of this bike and sat on one at motorbike live and it felt so right!! Great vlog by the way 🤙🤙
👍 Thanks so much I appreciate it. Yup it is such a great bike, has it all and in such good balance as well. Not too big or powerful, just great fun. Cheers 😎
Another good review, in a perfect world we would all have a garage and a choice of bikes . looking forward to the next video,stay positive.
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 Yes that would be lovely!! I suppose we can be thankful everyday for owning even one bike 😁 Cheers
Perfect review my friend…straight from the heart. Best to you…stay well
Many thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Absolutely love this bike, just ideal! Thanks and same to you
Another entertaining and thoughtful review, very enjoyable Angus. I agree with all the comments regarding biking and mental health. Roll on the warmer weather. Take care.
Many thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Motorbiking is such good therapy and helps me out massively. Absolutely bring on the Spring! Cheers
Superb review mate. Just ordered a new speed(street) twin 900 as my first big bike and cannot wait to pick it up next week! Also finding motorcycles to be a life saver for mental health and a form of therapy.
👍 Thanks so much I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed the review. Great bike for a first bike, am sure you will love it! The same engine as the scrambler just a different tune and more road focused ride. They are so good for ones mental health and continue to help me massively. Cheers and enjoy your ride 😁
Such an awesome review, I have just bought one and love it ❤ totally agree on mental health and how riding your bike is such great therapy
Thanks so much I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Massive congratulations on your purchase, such a fantastic bike I still miss mine.
Keep riding and stay happy. Cheers
Thanks for a great review on the bike.
You really sold in the concept of what riding a bike is.
It is my pleasure and really glad you enjoyed the review 👍
That Bonneville’s engine has something of addicting for sure. I own a T120, and I have thought that it was just an experience to have but it turned out to be an object that is sticking to me much more seriously than what I was expecting . I was thinking about trading the bike for the Yamaha MT-10 SP which is a blast of a motorcycle…but somehow I couldn’t do the business. I kept inventing flaws about the Yamaha, just to avoid to let go out the Triumph. It’s incredible but true!
“There’s something about her, don’t know what it is…”
I know exactly what you mean 👍 I regretted selling my Street Scrambler from day one! They are just so characterful, every thing else I rode after it just didn't hit the spot. I would recommend hanging onto yours.
Cheers
Thanks for yet another great test & review good sir
Keep up the good work 👏
Many thanks I appreciate it and really glad you enjoyed the review 👍 All the best to you
Just noticed, this video has absolutely no dislikes! Don't think I've ever seen that before so congratulations! Really dig the Triumph Scrambler. I've had a 2018 Speedmaster for about a year and a half now, and I've got to say I've become quite a Triumph fanboy. The Bonneville engine really is unmatched in my opinion, and Triumph's style is just spectacular. I no longer own a car so it's just me and my Speedy, I'm thinking I want a Triumph Scrambler 900 as my second bike/backup and bad weather bike. You just can't beat a bike like this. Love the positive content you're always putting out, I've struggled with mental health in the past as well and I too find that finding the simple pleasures in like like just going for a ride really does help. Cheers from Houston Texas
Hi, thanks so much I appreciate that and glad you enjoyed the video 👍 Same, it is just me and my Speedmaster as well, all year around. Triumph modern classics are just great at the moment.
The Scrambler really embodies motorcycling fun and beauty.
Stay healthy and thanks for the positive comment
Good honest review, I love the look and sound of this bonnie, I too have had large capacity bikes and would like this size of bike to get around on, for my everyday bike 🤙
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 It really is so much fun to ride and just a great balance of power etc...
Brilliant review mate, good mix of technical, road test & from the heart honestly. Cheers
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that 🙌
A wonderful review. Thank you!
Thanks I appreciate it and and glad you enjoyed the review 👍
Great review and I'm with you all the way 🙌
Thanks so much I appreciate it 👍
I had a 2009 and 2015 Scrambler 900 and loved them, I put 70000km in 3 years on my 2015 (and I had 2 and 3 bikes at times) and it still looked like new when I sold it and it's been through rain, gravel, dirt, touring, etc. A few years later when the Scrambler 1200XE came out, I thought WOW! I need it! I bought it and sold it after barely 3 months losing thousands on it and I was still happy to get rid of it. Was uncomfortable, had some electronic issues, the key fob was often losing connection, I loved the engine and the looks, but everything else made me miss my 2015. I also tried one of these new Scrambler 900s, and they are just awesome bikes, so underrated.
💪 That is some solid mileage on the scrambler! Bet you loved every single one of them. They are just such great/fun motorbikes, I love them. Yes I can definitely see why the 1200 may not be as good, I think the 900 just has that perfect size about it for fun riding. Cheers and scramble on!
Hi Angus
Picked mine up a few weeks ago in this colour. Agree with everything you said. Incredibly agile bike and sounds amazing. I had the small fly screen added and that actually makes a big difference to the wind buffeting. Got this as a counter to my T120 so a different experience. Can’t recommend the Scrambler too highly. By the way, it has three modes - road, rain, off-road.
Regards
Denis
Hi Denis,
Massive congratulations on taking delivery of yours 👍 Yes a very nice companion for the T120! Just really loved this bike, such a stunning style and really enjoyed the 900cc motor.
Ah does it! Sorry about that, I couldn't find the off road mode! Nice to know it has it though 🥴
Cheers and all the best
Awesome review. Thanks buddy 😊.
Thanks so much I appreciate it 👍
It’s a great bike. I’ll never get rid of mine. Great video. Well done 👍
Many thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video 👍 I recommend hanging onto it for as long as you can!
Awesome. Great review. I agree with you completely about throttle therapy. Can't wait for spring as I am already feeling the darkness of winter coming over me. I got a 2023 Trident 660 this past November and love it but I feel like I'm missing the more raw gruntiness of the Speed Twin 900 I test rode at the same time. It was really a flip of the coin for me at that time as I loved both for their differences. Much of what you relayed about this bike struck that cord I've been thinking about concerning the Speed Twin 900. May just have to trade this spring.
Many thanks I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Motorcycling is such a great form of therapy, being out in the elements and more in the present moment, love it! The Trident is a great bike, but fair enough I do understand missing that low down torque feeling.
Roll on the Spring and dry roads. Cheers and stay happy
Many thanks for such an honest and heartfelt review and one that I can resonate with. I bought an ex demonstrator 2019 Street Scrambler in 2020 and had it for just over 15 months, but having several bikes and getting a bit (lot) older decided foolishly that I didn't need as many big bikes so sold it to a dealer locally. Instant regret!
Two years on and my MacBook, supposedly randomly, put pictures up of it on the screensaver one night. I couldn't resist the temptation to see if it was taxed and MOT'd; it wasn't so I put a search into Bike Trader and there it was for sale at a non-Triumph dealer 50 miles away. Within a week I had it sitting in my garage to my utter delight and it had only 1,500 more miles on than when I sold it having gone through two more owners. It will not be going anywhere soon and I just can't get enough miles in on it! It is addictive for all the reasons you iterate. All the best for your continued good health and riding safety.
Really glad you enjoyed the video 👍
What a cracking bike it is! I still miss it to this day, I'v actually just persuaded a friend to buy one. Hopefully I'll get a ride on it 😁
All the best to you and many thanks
Great review. I meant to thank you for informing me of the DGR last spring . I attended for the first time in NB Canada and am looking forward to next in a few months. The first bike I rode was in 1973 and was a 1968 Honda 305 scrambler. Wish I owned it now. That Triumph is a beauty. Think I'd go for the green also. Cheers
Many thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the review 👍 No problem at all, great to hear you joined the ride, yes I am really looking forward to 2023 ride.
Just love the scrambler style, really embodies everything I love about motorcycling. Cheers
I really enjoyed watching this review, in full support about finding activities that support ones mental health. Excellent.
Thanks so much that is great to hear 🙌 Absolutely motorcycling is so good for one’s mental health. Throttle therapy!
All the best
Top man
Top review
Got my eye on one now
Merry Xmas buddy
👌 Many thanks I appreciate it! Such an awesome bike, highly recommend. Cheers
Nice looking ride! Happy Holidays!
👍 Yup its a beauty, really loved this bike! Thanks so much and the same to you. Cheers
My son has just bought exactly this bike. It’s the first Triumph I’ve ridden since my
old Meriden bikes I had in the 80’s.
I absolutely love this bike. That engine is sublime and can totally see why you have fallen for it. I need one.
👍 Congrats to your son on his purchase. Such a brilliant bike I am a little jealous! They really are such great fun and feel good bikes, glad you weren't let down.
No prizes for guessing what's on your Christmas list! Seriously, you've done a good job of getting across that bigger isn't always better.
😂 Now that would be a great Christmas present!! Thanks I'm glad I could get that across, such a valid point with some bikes. Cheers
Great bike, great weather, great video! Three thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
👌 Really found my love for this bike again 😁 Thanks so much really pleased you enjoyed it.
@@redangrevival Maybe your time has come for a second bike… hmm? 😊
@@jmlupoludowicy1239 That would be lovely!! Unfortunately not yet, but it will happen one day 😉
Hey I’m on that ship as well had anxiety for as long as it can remember glad I got back into bikes after 24 years gives you something to focus on and enjoy not the cheapest past time but what the hell it’s a way of life and look at all the good stuff bikers do for charity ,can’t be wrong ,respect ❤
Hi Graham, anxiety seems to be a particularly hard one to shake. I am 15 years in now, but aim to progress everyday! So glad you found bikes again, as you say they really help one to focus and come out of your own head.
Wishing you a happy 2023 and plenty of great miles on your bike 😎
@@redangrevival hey 👋 happy new year to you sir I can’t wait for summer even though I agree with you where it does you good to ride in weather that is not so great my confidence has come back a lot but not so much in the wet weather it’s strange but I enjoy gravel cycling as well will do this in any weather but on a motorcycle I’m nervous but it will come back best wishes 👍
Outstanding review! glad it makes you feel good!
Thanks so much I really appreciate that 🙌 Amazing how much joy motorcycles can bring!
Keep on enjoying what your doing! it clearly shows in your reviews
@@davidemms5176 Thanks 🙌
Good on ya mate! Adventure equals ❤
Thanks 🙌
Love this video! Thanks
It is my pleasure 👍
I've had a matt green one since 2018 , will never change it! All the best.
👍 Hang on to it! They are such great bikes. Thanks and same to you
Same here. Been riding a new 1200 last week, great bike but no reason to deal in my 900.
Awesome review mate big love from Australia 😊😊😊
Thanks so much I appreciate that and really glad you enjoyed the review 👍 All the best to you
Great video. My buddy just bought one, I really like the bike
Many thanks I appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video 👍 Awesome bike, I still regret selling mine!
Great video. Look at the gentleman's bike rides supporting the issues of mental health in various places.
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 Yes I actually rode in the London ride this year! A great event and a brilliant charity to ride for. Cheers
I really enjoyed his video and bought one a few days ago, it’s so great thanks a lot!
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy the bike 👌
Dear RedAng, your appreciation, enthusiasm, passion and shear pleasure for that motorcycle and for riding comes through your video vividly and the enjoyment is contagious. Thank you for an uplifting moment. Clearly you’re smitten with that one. BTW: It’s ok to run off and pursue your passion or just to have an affair. You can always go back to the cruiser. Motorcycles, unlike women, don’t harbor resentment. Enjoy!
🙌 Thank you so much i appreciate that and really glad it comes across on video! I just had the best day riding this bike and really fell in love with the Scrambler style again. Haha that is a great way to put it and very true 😁 I think perhaps if I were to change bike then a Scrambler would be very high up the list. Cheers
Great review!
Thanks so much I appreciate it 👍
Another joyful review. I loved the 900 when I tried it, for the same reasons you do & did. Your list of bike loves is similar to mine. Currently on an Aprilia Tuareg which I love. The bike I yearn for is v different…BMW R9T Urban GS. 🤷🏼♂️
Many thanks, really glad you enjoyed the review 😁 Just fell in love with this bike again! Nice the Tuareg is fantastic, just love that sound from the motor. Haha we do have very similar tastes in bikes, the R9T is another peach of a bike. Cheers
I have the same bike since 6 months and agree totally to this superb review. It’s character and medicine on wheels 😅 ride safe and happy X Mas from Germany 👍
🙌 such a brilliant bike. Many thanks and all the best to you. Happy Christmas
I have 2018 Triumph tiger 800 xrx and I ride country roads, twisted in Pennsylvania and yes it's mental therapy for me too😊
🙌 it’s so good for you
I'm considering getting back into riding after a LONG break. I just retired. I live in a lovely rural location in the US with a terrific mix of back country roads both paved and dirt. I was thinking of a Bonneville. But, this may be the sweet spot for my use. Nice video.Thanks.
Welcome back to riding again 👍 Yes the Street Scrambler would be a great option
i never own a Triumph pryor to this past summer where i purchase a Triumph Rocket 3 GT and boy do i love it, torque power everywhere. Love the attention to detail on this bike its such an upgrade to my last motorcycle (Kawasaki GT 1400) cant wait to next spring because here in Montreal Quebec its winter time.Ride safe man.
A very impressive bike, the Rocket is 👍 Yes Triumphs attention to detail really is great on their modern classics and Rockets! Beautiful bikes.
May the Spring roll around quick for you. Thanks and same to you
Great bike, love the colour scheme, got to agree with the mental health benefits of biking, gets you out and meeting people, as does my lovely dog🐕🏍
👌 such a lovely bike. Yup motorcycling is a fantastic form of therapy 🙌
I bought a Triumph Scrambler XC and a Triumph Street Scrambler. I still own the Street Scrambler... the Street Scrambler is so much fun around town, while I felt that the XC fell short in short and long distances... the XC wasn't the right tool for mile crunching or plinking through town... I replaced the XC with a BMW GS and still ride the Street Scrambler... enough said!
👍 That almost sounds like my perfect two bike garage! Great decision
My dream bike 🤩🙏🏻
Absolutely fantastic video again pal.
Agree on the mental health, clears out the demons when riding.
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it 👍 100% motorbiking is so great for mental health. Cheers
I had the 2019 scrambler loved every bit of it. Never took it off Road. Now own the Street Twin same on everything more city street focus
Yup both great bikes. I just love the styling of the Scrambler
This is one of my dream bikes for when I become super rich and build my own Jay Leno motorcycle garage. And then fill it with motorcycles of course!
Haha 👍 I love your positivity of "when"! A great bike to have in the collection, it is very special. Cheers
just bought a 2015 model...loving it!
🙌
Will have to get a Triumph one day I think. All of them look great to ride.
The Bonneville range really is brilliant, some lovely variation between the models 👌 Worth a dabble sometime
I think all of the Triumphs sound great with factory exhaust. I had a T100 a few years ago and loved it. I thought the 900 scrambler was a T100 with a couple different body parts. Its obviously much different. I think I now prefer the look of the scrambler over a T100. Beautiful as a T100 is. All the riding you spoke about….maybe you need a couple/few bikes to own for different days ? Go Ride a 1200 XC scrambler, I had one of those also. Wish I still had it. Curious of your thoughts on it. Riding a motorcycle has definitely helped my mental health, dare I say it may have saved my life ! Have a great day 👍😎
I agree they all do have a great sound to them 👍 This Scrambler 900 has an especially good exhaust sound! Yes they are very similar bikes, despite the obvious styling differences the Scrambler has wider handle bars and a different engine tune for lower down power.
I personally prefer the way the scrambler rides. Just so much fun. Same motorbiking helped me massively and still does today, it really dragged me out of a rut. Same to you and take care. Ride Happy 😁
Thank you for this fantastic review video, after watching your video, I finally decided to buy a scrambler 900 for myself :)
Hi, it is my pleasure and I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the review 👍 Congratulations on your new bike
SO I bought the 2017 model left over in 2018 at a great discount and have been riding it year round here in Connecticut (New England ) farm country ever since .It is a perfect "Back Road Roadster" .Like your origin bike it has a little less horse power than the new one and the suspension isn't much to write home about ..(I did buy the Tiger off road pegs for it that help posting through the roughest stuff) .I also got heated grips for the cold months and a center stand for chain work ... Being a year round bike I have gone through two chains and a sprocket but the bike laughs at everything I throw at it ..I love that the engine runs on low test and is getting 56 miles per gallon (US ) .. Range is around 165 miles per tank .. I figure owning a bike like this is around $2000.00 equity per season (not counting upkeep) and coming up May this bike will owe me nothing ... Yes I am still in love with the bike .. It has lived under a bag on a concrete slab through the deep snowy winters and is no worse for ware .. Whats not to love .. Wish list : A 4.5 gallon (US) tank ..I wish it had Earlse forks , a longer single back suspension and a shaft drive . If the world made a cross between an R80 BMW and the R69S I would sell the farm to have it ..(Humm then I would have to build a barn for it .. :) Great Review ... Yours Guy
💪 Such a great bike and thanks for your comment, sounds like you are loving it. It just really embodies everything I want from a motorcycle! Love that you keep it under a bag as well 👍 Keep enjoying the ride. Cheers 😎
Seriously been thinking about buying a 2021 onwards speedmaster but I do like the scramblers, the 1200 might be a bit high but now you've done this test the 900 might be in the running instead. Thanks for confusing me even more 😆. I agree about bikes and mental health, I've never suffered with it but I've a good mate who does and his way of coping with it is to get his bike out, I do the same when I've had a busy day at work. Keep up the excellent videos. Thanks.
I rode on a Speedmaster for 3 days and 650 miles in the US in August. A nice machine but the riding position made me lean forward even with pull back bars plus a long time in a slouchy position got my back. All low down power but quite chuggy at lower revs. Personally, the Scrambler has all day riding comfort for me. Spend a few hours on a Speedmaster before hitting “pay now”!
Haha apologies for that! I definitely recommend a ride on the 900 model, really great tune with the engine 👍
Yup motorbikes are such good therapy to help and maintain good mental health, have really helped me out over the years. Just enjoying the ride! Thanks so much I appreciate it. Cheers
Good evening. what a super upload-see ya!.🙌
Good evening to you also. Thanks so much I appreciate it. All the best 👍
A great review of a brilliant bike. I would love to have a scrambler 900 in my garage alongside my speedy, they are the best looking of all the Triumphs for sure.
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 A fantastic companion to the Speedmaster! Just really enjoyed the "scrambling" vibe of this bike, and the 900cc engine is a peach. Cheers
@@redangrevival I so need to take one out for a spin, maybe after the freeze 🥶
@@garrypepperman 👍 Highly recommend it, they are just brilliant! Yes not worth going out in this weather
Your do great work, so all I'm left with is playing the critic. You can't say it's got dual sided exhaust if it's got both mufflers on one side! 😂
I think a lot of us ride for the same reason you do! Keep a ridin' and keep it safe brother!
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 Apologies did I say dual sided 🥴 I know its only single sided, my mistake! Cheers and you
i love how u express ur riding experience in that bike ,that is my dreambike ,actually triumph is new here in the philippines ..
im convince what u feel and i'd like to own one soon
new subscriber here from philippine ride safe
Hi, welcome to the channel 🙌 It is such a fantastic bike, I love it! Would be great in the Philippines, beautiful
Great video and great bike 👍hope the breaks are better on the new one ? I rode the street scrambler years ago and front break put me of buying it 👍
Many thanks I appreciate it 👍 To be honest I did not notice much difference with the brakes! I don't mind them, as I think if they where too sharp it would not suit the style of the bike. I know what you mean though.
Cheers
Brilliant review .. I have said before the Scrambler 900 is the best of the Bonny range ....A bike that
is more than the sum of its parts .
I owned a 2019 (same spec as that one) and sold it ....I regret it too !!
I empathize with your mental health issues .. I've had the same struggles myself for most of my life.
The single best thing I ever heard on the subject was 'Happiness is a choice ... make it' .
It sounds like a flippant remark but actually it isn't , it's a deep truth. .. stay strong keep up the great work😄
Thanks so much I appreciate it 👍 Just really enjoyed this ride, not the most advanced motorcycle but just so much fun and soul!
That is a great saying, does sound simple but really so true when you think about it. Thanks for the reminder 🙌 All the best to you
I’d imagine those pipes get hot in the summer. I like this bike a lot.
Yes they do get warm, however the heat shield is good 👍
Dude you just described me and my triumph Sandstorm to tee.
👌 Absolutely love this bike. Enjoy man
very nice channel ✌🏼
Thanks so much I appreciate it 👍
A nice machine for cafe culture with those pipes as well as getting out of town onto the gravel hinterland however there are a lot on the aftermarket with low KM which makes me wonder why?
I totally resonate with you about riding positively aiding and maintaning good mental health. I have experienced cyclical negative thinkning on a catastrophic level on a number of accessions and the mindful and life-affirming focus that riding gives me helps me to live an engaged and fully experienced life. Great review, although it leaves me with one key tough question. Triumph 900 scramber or the new ktm 790 2023 adventure?....... Not a bad first world question to have to ponder though hey? All the very best matey. Thanks for the review👍🌄👍
Thanks so much really glad you enjoyed the review 👍 So good to hear that motorcycling helps you too. It is such a great and pure form of therapy. Just you and the bike and nature 🙌
A good question. I suppose KTM for practicality, but Scrambler for cool points!
All the best, cheers
I love the Bonnie and the Scrambler. I was investing to get the bike myself and got scammed. I'm sad and angry. Besides now owing a ton of money to others I lost a bonus that would have been enough to get me the Scrambler and all the equipment I needed. Embarrassed and upset trying to move on and let the fact I got scammed and robbed go. Nothing more I can do but pray and work and hope I can get myself one soon.
That is so horrible. There are some terrible people out there, low life's scamming people out of their hard earned money.
Don't give up and there is no shame in it, it happens to a surprising amount of people. Keep the faith you will own one some day. Look on the bright side, more cheaper second hand options over time 👍
Thank you for doing my favourite bike. I used to think I wanted a cruiser and a Speedmaster fitted the bill. But then, I moved and I met Hetty the Street Scrambler and she spoke to my soul. A beautiful, beautiful classic looking bike that just yearns for exploring, little adventures or even getting from A to B in a timely and stylish way. She didn't feel to high or heavy, very unintimidating. There is a small, female channel who has the gold line version and it is just as fine looking. There are quite a few bikes I like but I will, hopefully, definitely own a Scrambler 900 before I turn up my toes. I too am in love.
👌 I did think of you and Hetty when I was riding it! As I mentioned I used to own one and I have really just fallen back in love with it again, such a fun and stylish ride. Also just love the adventuring you can do on it. I think it really embodies that Steve McQueen look as well 😎
You will get your hands on one some day. Cheers
❤️
Sold my T120 last year, didn’t feel I needed all that bike, for the type of riding I’m doing these days, road a r ninet scrambler today, and a Ducati scrambler, loved the bmw, but felt like more than I need. I think the Triumph 900 will be my next bike.
👍 Sounds like the Scrambler 900 could be the ideal bike for you. Such a great size and fun amount of power for the road
I had a 2017 Street Scrambler, and put 10k miles on it. I loved it very much, however the shift selector kept failing internally. After having it fixed the third time, I decided that I didn't like considering the shift selector to be a very expensive "consumable" part.
Thats a shame, but I suppose a lot of bikes have their own niggles!
My German Shepherd would get out and I would have to ride my Daytona 500 Triumph my 1973 down to Trails to the lake to go get her. Even on street tires with low Street pipes she handled excellently Offroad. I changed my dog one time on my Sportster on the same trails and I could not believe the difference between the two motorcycles. Mostly because of the weight of the Harley adjusting the Harley Sportster used to be Harley dirt bike. I have a nice BSA 250 single Enduro bike to ride off-road with. Superlight great off-road.
Haha damn dogs!!! Nice chance to go off roading though 👍
First thing I did with my 2022, is to get rid of the CAT and install a custom engine map. It was like taking the shackles off.
👍 I did the same with my 2016 Street Scrambler. Makes a world of difference and just sounds epic!
If you can you should buy one, it obviously made you happy mate. As soon as a get a new bike I start looking for the next, as takes me years to decide what type I want. Still looking for my keeper bike.
👍 thanks I am very tempted! Still happy with my current bike (Speedmaster) but this is high up on the list if I change! Haha I know what you mean, it takes time to find the perfect bike that really hits the spot. This one did it for me 😁 Cheers
I owned a Street Scrambler and agree it’s a lovely looking bike. The only issue I found was it runs very hot and together with the high exhaust, can give you Betty Swollocks in the summer months 😅
Thank you for confirming heat from exhaust
@@ruffleschips9055 the exhaust has a decent heat shield so you won’t get burnt but you can feel the heat from it and the engine. Not a problem on cooler days but I found it uncomfortable on hot days.
😂 Yes this is a point I forgot to mention! I did get that a bit during the summer, however it is something I would be willing to compromise with.
@@ruffleschips9055 I've owned one for three years and can honestly say I've never had an issue with heat from the exhaust , even wearing jeans 🤔
I have one in Australia and so long as you’re moving she’ll be right mate 🇦🇺
I also regret selling the Bonneville, but always can get another. Nice to have a smooth transmission and not a clunker.
Absolutely, one to look forward to in the future perhaps
Nice one - it is a beautiful looking, sounding bike...just the luggage factor not being able to sling over panniers is a shame.....thanks for a great vid
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video 👍 Yes that is a limiting factor for sure and one of the reasons I got rid of mine. Just not practical enough. Love it though!
Cheers
I thought This was one of the best Bonnie's, you are right they got it almost perfect, I don't have one because I think that for the money Triumph are short changing us with the classic bikes. The suspension could be a lot better all lights should be led and a front mudguard that was made for a 19 inch wheel, not just robbed out the street twin part's bin. Nice review though and a nice bike.
Many thanks, really glad you enjoyed the review 👍 Yup it is not perfect thats for sure, I suppose they saved the more premium parts for the 1200.
I don't feel let down when riding it though, so much fun! Cheers
Why would you not be? A beautiful bike!
At the time the mental refreshment of riding a bike is absent from my life. You quoted the msrp of the scrambler. What wasn't discussed was/is the charges for delivery, freight, setup fee and God only knows what else the dealer can concoct. You ask the salesman for a freebie like a center stand and they just stare at you. The bike sells itself but the addons are objectionable.
Yes I am afraid I cannot get into details such as delivery costs etc... But there are always more costs to consider, the case with most motorcycles unfortunately! But hopefully it is worth the cost 👍
Love your reviews, keep it going. What are your thoughts on the size of the 900 scrambler (vs the 1200)? I’m 6 foot and am wondering if the 900 would feel a little small.
Thanks, really glad you enjoy the videos 👍 I think at 6 foot the 1200 XC may suit you better
A beautiful looking bike , I own a street twin and totally love the looks and sound ( standard ) and it rides beautifully.The scrambler I’m guessing rides just the same
Very similar for sure 👍
10,700 GBP in Thailand. I considered one at one point, then ended up with a pristine SCR950, two years, seven months old, with 4,200 km on it for 60 per cent of the new price of 10,050 GBP. A bit heavy at 248 kg, fully fuelled. Pros: lower exhaust; cons: tubed tyres. Which I thought the Triumph did, then I spotted 'tubeless' on the tyre in this video.
Fair enough, sounds like you got a good deal 👍 Yes they do have clever tubeless tyres even though spoked rims!
@@redangrevival If I'd known they were tubeless I may well have bought a Triumph. There is a dealer in town. I would never have bought a new SCR, and had initially rejected the idea because of the inner tubes, but this deal was too good to turn down. It has tremendous low-down torque but soon runs out of puff. It is a cruiser engine, after all.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o I have never ridden one, but have always liked the looks. Enjoy
Thought i recognised the roundabout then you say swindon haha. 2021 got revised engine
Off all the scramblers in the market, I like the Triumph Scramblers the best.
Same 👍
Its a good looking bike Red like this one what would you say it tops out at on the motorway as a matter of interest .👌👍
Absolute peach 👌 Not sure top speed, I think it could probably go over 100 mph! But very comfortable around 75mph, much more than that and may feel a bit strained.
Definitely a lovely bike! You’re really pumping out the reviews bro! Good on you. No doubt your channel will be very successful. Are you doing this to be a full time UA-camr or do you have a day job?
Thanks 👌 I am sort of going with the wind atm! Am working part time in a kitchen, but would love for UA-cam to be full time 😁
@@redangrevival Awesome. Keep it up; you’re better than most of the established channels already!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan 😁 Thanks so much that is great to hear! For sure I plan to keep going, really enjoying it atm.
I would love to do some sort of a collaboration at some point if you are up for it 👍
Cheers
@@redangrevival Yes great idea. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Brilliant, perhaps sometime in the Spring would be good. Cheers and stay warm!
The bike looks so much like my old '99 Thunderbird Sport (great bike btw), I'm wondering how closely it rides.
👍, unfortunately I have never ridden the Thunderbird, but should imagine it is quite a different ride!
I run a v7 850 special, and I just say the only other bike I briefly considered was the street twin 900, imo it’s far better looking than the Bonnie. But alas I went with the guzzi, and as get smart said, “and loving it”.
The V7, especially the special model is a brilliant bike 👌 So characterful and looks great as well
I’ve been looking at the T-100 and Street Twin , but this Scrambler has really caught my attention ( basically all the reasons you mentioned here )
It just has a cool factor that stands out a bit over the other two . Not sure about the heat that dissipates against the leg when riding in the summertime but perhaps it could serve to warm me up a bit on the cooler fall time rides . It appears to possess a sportier feel and handling than the T-100 , I don’t know 🤷♂️ any feedback on that ?
I would personally go for the Scramber every time, but that is just my personal decision. As for sportier I wouldn't say that, however the slightly wider handles bars do help to give you good counter steering etc... It is a great fun ride 😎
@@redangrevival Hey thanks for the feedback !
Yeah I really love the look of Street Scrambler , and it’s somewhat dual sport characteristics , not to mention that nostalgic feeling of riding something that takes you back in time to the old James Dean / Steve McQueen era, but I can honestly say any of these classic retro Triumphs have that appeal .
Even on the hottest summer days I have had no trouble with the heat from the muffler on my leg .Yes bikes are hot in the summer and when the fan goes on it blows a heat wave right at your legs but that is in slow traffic . Never had a problem on the quiet country lanes .. :)
Hi, great video.
I am considering buying a bike like this.
Do you think it will suit riding on gravel roads?
Thanks
Many thanks, I appreciate it 👍 Yes I think it is a good bike for light gravel tracks. However it is not premium suspension, so not built for hard off roading
The Zen of Motorcycling - nothing more mindful than riding a motorbike. Immerse in the noise, surrounding and wind and appreciating the impermanence of life. The back to basic style of riding - a touch of essentialism. Only what is needed in the moment, (wo)men and bike, reminiscent of wo(men) and stallion galavanting on the vast open plateau of nothingness. 🏍️ 🐎
Absolutely, it is such a great form of therapy and way to be more in the current moment A wo(men) and their steed! Ride well my friend 👍
@@redangrevival Steed! 👍 thats the more gender neutral term! Fabulous
Hi, How is the temperature at the right leg? I love this bike, I'm just afraid about the exhaust!! I live in Italy and in the Summer time is very hot!! tks
Hi, yes it can get quite hot to be honest! However the heat shield is good 👍
Wondering if you think it needs six gears. I currently have a 1200 Speedmaster and am considering a Scrambler, but I’m concerned I might miss having six gears.
It would be nice yes. For those longer rides on the motorway etc... That is why I sold mine, just a bit strained at higher speeds.
OK, you won me over, new subscriber here. I have ridden the 865cc Bonneville. This Scrambler, along with several other models, seem to be modified Bonnevilles. How is the Scrambler better than the Bonneville in your opinion, especially in the street handling department?
👍 welcome to the channel. I think the scrambler has slightly wider and higher handle bars, I like that riding style. Also the engine tune on the scrambler is different with lower down torque delivery. Also enjoy the way you can take on larger bumps with the 19" front wheel. Just such a fun set up for country lanes!
I love triumphs bikes I just wish they'd upgrade the displays or lack there of into this century,
Agreed, however this is a retro styled bike, so I quite like the analogue display.
@redangrevival I mean I get that but they could still have a digital touch screen that's styled that way
