- Hello,
The day I first rode the 400X, I fell in love with it and I booked one. Took me a while to get mine but it was totally worth the wait. Here, CK and I discuss what makes the 400X so special in my opinion. Hope you enjoy watching. Cheers!

Anno no issues, you speak truth adu saaku. Unlike endorsement reviews we need not think about genuinity ❤
Boo boo segment of the video got boo boo'd 😂
if the raw footage for those 20 seconds is fine then i think the problem is with the video editor or the youtube compression algorithm. If the exported final video os good then it should mostly be the youtube compression thing.
The knee and engine guard comes as an accessory provided by Triumph?
Your introduction is the biggest unspoken truth in motorcycling. Coming back to motorcycling, over 2.5 seasons of factory test rides allowed me to see what I like, what I don’t like, and in my case, sitting on a scram 411 in a showroom, I dismissed it as not comfortable. I had 30 mins to kill before going to a BMW ride. An RE Scram 411 was available, so I took it out. It put such a smile on my face, and supremely comfortable for 3hr rides. I was sold on the spot. Keep on spreading the truth! People need to ride the bikes for themselves!
🙏🙌
RE Scram?? 🤔
@@bigbearbangalore I got some email about a gift waiting… did someone hack your channel?
I don't think so. I still have access.
Delete that email. Spambot perhaps.
Earlier I was 90% sure, that am gonna buy this machine…. & after 24mins of watching this, now am 400(x)% sure that this is what I needed my bike to be. Thank you for this review.
🙌
@@bigbearbangalore is it stable on highway?
I thought I got an incoming call...
There are two types of Reviewers/Channels that make sense and entertain, you guys and Motirinc. Everyone else seems useless almost. You guys are Very different but equally effective.
Why we like more is that You make us understand the vehicle in such a simple manner that there's nothing else left. Very relatable content. Thank you
Many thanks. Happy to hear.
Him and @sagarsheldaker are two different worlds♥️
Agree that. I wait for big bears and motoronic. Others just make some noise; you guys creat sensible content.
If you need technical details watch Real Auto Reviews by Shiraz ( @RealAutoReviews ), he is very good..!!
What a review! 24 minutes and it never felt like a review...just two passionate people having a fun convo over a bike they like, laughing their heart out! Such positive vibes...loved it, BBC :)
This...This is my bike , I'm sure. Looking forward to get this one day
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!
Thoroughly enjoyed your chat and point of view as always! Seems both gentlemen have aged back a good 20 years with this motorcycle 😁
Cheers!
You guys are just great presenting bikes with this great humor of yours ! Thanks ! A hug from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil !
Glad you like them! 🫂 Thanks.
Flabbergasted on your review Sir. Spoke absolutely what I am feeling everyday riding my scrambler❤. On another note, yesterday I got a news that Triumph is planning a backrest and centre stand for Scrambler 400x. I hope it gets launched soon. I was in a need of backrest and hence purchased and assembled it, and later got the news. I purchased the one which sits on the OEM handlebars and hence we do not sacrifice the pretty grab handles. Hope the news will help others, so they can wait a couple of months and get the accessories, if at all the news is true.
👍👍👍
I bought this bike on an impulse. Have risen it about 1100kms on twisties. Absolutely love the stance which lends into the overall handling of the bike. For someone who is wanting to get back on a bike after about 18 years, it’s not intimidating and just too much fun. Can’t wait for all the adventures that await.
Love your reviews guys. Very entertaining and informative.
Awesome! Happy riding. Thanks.
Enjoyed this interactive analysis and the unalloyed exuberance in both .. I think you both feel as excited as college going youths explaining the virtues of this bike as I felt during my heydays owing a RX 100 ❤
🙌
Getting my scrambler 400x in 2 day's, I had some doubts but now after watching your review, I think I made a right decision!!
Congrats!
What a conversation! Enjoyed, keep it up.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You two are just amazing! I enjoy watching reviews from you two. I was so delighted to see this one especially!!
After watching this video, I am very happy and more convinced that i bought the best value for money versatile ride machine. ❤️
👍
Our pleasure!
I gave a crack at both 400x & Himalayan on the same day. both ticked different boxs, felt the weight on Himalayan the moment I took it off the stand. Was in a dilemma, the next day I closed my eye to realise my tongue was out like dog but when I was on 400x. Booked the scrambler 400x. Waiting for the delivery.
Great 👍
Just completed a 200km ride on my Scrambler and this is the first video in watching ri8 now, and i agree with all the points you were discussing 🤩🤩🤩
🙌
Now I am booking one. Thank you for the detailed review sir. ❤
Great 👍
I own same same color. Such an amazing bike to ride. Start this bike in an enclosed area and the bassy exhaust note screams premium bike.
Right on!
Once you stop, you realise how good the bike sounds.
@@sidharthsharma2726 Yes the idle sound is very bassier so that any one could turn their heads in a heavy traffic.....
10:10 Just remembered the day i rode this bike for the first time 😂😂
I'm waiting for the delivery of my scram400x loved the bike.
👍
This gentle is so good with words n makes us understand everything
🙏
Busky is every man on a motorcycle
And the thrill I have waiting for my triumph watching others enjoying the Triumph is exhilarating!!
👍
Hi Bosky and CK
I booked my Scrambler 400x yesterday. Was getting the black ex stock but will wait 3 weeks for the olive green..
Problem is..i rode 300km to Bhubaneswar Triumph- on a friends Harley 440x that was due for 1st service. The way the Harley handled on acc of engine, chassis & suspension was..wowww
So i booked the Scrambler, but decided to ease out my existing Enfields 500(2016) & 650(2021) and get the HD440 .
For my next tour of NE in April will be spoilt for choice between the Elegant ClassyScrambler & the Robust n Ready 440x...
For long term ownership and touring i would trust the Harley better..air cooled plus it seems built like a tractor..
Enjoy your work guys, keep em coming. Salute
Awesome!! 🙌
Got one myself, same colour as this one. Love every bit of my travel :). Agree with spot on review
Great to hear! Happy motorcycling. 👍
Million thanks for the great video Sir..
My pleasure. Thanks.
Any day this is a better motorcycle than it's own sibling speed 400.
Even for everyday city commuting, no off-road, no touring, only office going machine (for which the speed is made of) the 400x shines.
Triumph's & Bajaj's collaboration gives us one of the finest and best motorcycle of this segment and more importantly made the market competitive 😁
Anyday the 400X is better for you and me and not necessarily for all. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore ❤️♥️
Love the reviews
🙏🏻
You continue to confirm my decision about ordering this bike. So looking forward to getting back out there. I appreciate the way your tell stories and share your passion for what you do.
Keep the awesome coming and I am ready for mine to arrive in Alabama.
Glad to hear. Lemme know when you get yours. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore I will be using my bike to deliver bacon and travel to personal chef events in our area. There is a burger and a beer waiting for you if you can make it to BILL-E’s in Fairhope, Alabama.
@@bigbearbangalore the Triumph accessories I like are the small windscreen, center tank pad, luggage rack, and the high mud guard.
Not sure if upgraded seat is worth the expense, but it does look sharp.
I want both the upper and lower engine bars. Still not sure if the upper one comes with the bike. The reviews from India say that it does. I still can’t get a straight answer on that.
I also like the bullet style turn lights. Again not sure it’s worth the add on price.
Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll.
For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.
@billesbacon the upper guards come with the motorcycle. The bullet indicators are a luxury. Luggage in use the Giantloop Great Basin.
@@bigbearbangalore great to here the upper bars are a stock item. That will allow me to apply those funds to get the round lights.
I have been triumph owner for 40+ years. Now three years not! Seeing this bike I just realiced, must have one probably my last one. Right now waiting for delivery in april. I don't care about every detail in handling or performance, it's just so beautiful. Lookin forwad to this summer and all that follows.
Thanks for sharing! Best wishes.
Sir I’m grateful for this review you have provided. I have been looking for a machine which does it all, look outs were Honda CB300r, Duke 250, RE Himalayan 452 & 400x. My technical search ends today after seeing your review. My next step is to ride all of the above. Based on what I have learnt so far I’m pretty sure I will end up buying the 400x !! Thank you so much again.
🙌
Your enthu. is contagious, one more ex. of "age doesn't matter". u ppl r inspiring, i guess 350-400cc are perfect for Indian conditions (40hp-40nm), i have big bike, fast and mile muncher but not practical in the city, these 350-400cc bikes are all-rounders, a twin 400cc scrambler/tourer will be great addition to the Indian market.
Thank you!
Yes, the middle weight segment is tailor made for India.
The full quote goes “Jack of all trades, master of none but oftentimes better than the master of one”.
The more I see and ride this bike, the more I am sold on this and how lovely it is as jack of all trades.
Loved this conversation Bosky!!
🙌
Loved the commentary 😊
Glad you enjoyed.
I am owning the scrambler for ladt two weeks and agree to all the positive comments by you. It's amazing machine and I am enjoying it for sure. Few things could have been better like horn, headlight and side stand angle.
Great to hear! Happy riding.
Your video made my Sunday! 😅
I'm so glad! Cheers!
Thanks fellahs! Great bit of extra confirmation bias.
Definitely at the top of my current wish list.
I am a Londoner, who only goes for short rides these days, either across the busy city, or a day’s jaunt to the nearby countryside.
I am 6’4” tall, but at 72 years old, I am done with big heavy bikes now.
This looks just the ticket for me, (shame about the gold forks though, spoils the retro look a bit IMO).
Hey! Many thanks. You'll enjoy this motorcycle. Cheers!
Refreshing to watch a review like this - 2 middle-aged friends with a great sense of humour, thanks, Boski and CK! If you both were college together this is how you would've discussed and reviewed the hot babe in class! 😁 On a serious note, I have no issues as such with my Scrambler. However, if I were to nitpick, I would complain about the gear shift - doesn't feel as smooth, and feels clunky sometimes. No issues with the clutch, which is smooth as butter! I really wish this bike came with a heel shifter as well....planning to fix one soon....
Many thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Can't wait to get mine! I pre-ordered it without having tried it back in October, and it should finally be close to delivery here in Denmark
Congrats! Best wishes.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you, and also thank you for these videos they help keep the spirits up while waiting 🙂
I was owning duke 200, and upgraded to Scrambler 400x. When I bought duke I was 26 years old and It was apt for that age!! Now I am 35 years old and Scrambler feels apt for now!! Very calm and yet revz like a hunter when needed!!
One thing I did not like is the waiting period for accessories, which I have been told by the triumph that they have resolved the issues with suppliers and in a month it shall be available with good amount of stock!! Want to see the bike with loaded accessories ❤
Thanks for sharing. Yes am waiting for the accessories too. Cheers!
Just got mine, this bike has a soul
👍
In a personal comment to a fellow test rider I said the same thing. Triumph intended to design the Scrambler and once it was ready they tweaked it a bit and created the Speed so that they can give a tussle to RE.
👍
ive heard of second childishness setting in after 60 years. but you both remind us all of our child to teenage transition stages. wish there were motorcycle brands like this having affordable motorcycles during the 90's
😃🙌
Hi @Bigbearbangalore - satisfying to see the feedback on my choices are good!. As after a long wait of searching a mid range segment bikes.
With a lot of choices / watching reviews / multiple test rides for more than a 3 years noe.
I finally choose a Triumph scrambler 400X and waiting for the delivery of the same.
I will wait for more videos on accessories, safety, &
riding gears.
My previous options were BMW310gs, Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure & many more etc., 🙄
Congrats! Best wishes.
I got the delivery 2 weeks back. The bike is better than what you can imagine, you won't regret the decision.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you 👍
@@sidharthsharma2726 Yes waiting for the delivery. Thank you 👍
@@sidharthsharma2726 confused between Himalayan 450 and scrambler.
This is going to be my second bike in my garage. Not anytime soon but in a couple of years probably
👍
You guys are fantastic. Hello from New Zealand.
Hello. Thanks.
Great job guys 👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks so much.
I am sold just by looking at your excitement :) Hopefully i like too and will own one this year.
Best wishes.
I always liked a simple classic design like the rx or rd.. Yes this is very close and does all task from bringing kothambri to khardung la 😂.
Well said 🙂👍
Great review guys. As I always say, we must buy motorcycles with our hearth not with our head.
Well said!
After your experience it's very easy to decide that I want a bike like 400x
👍
As an owner of this amazing motorcycle, I can verify that everything that is discussed in this video is true! Always such a joy to watch your videos. Also please do share links for accessories that you have added to it!
Thanks.
I bought all at physical stores and not online. The accessories are all from rhe dealership, the mirrors are from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore.
And the knuckle guards?
Barkbusters from Bigbadbikes.com
@@bigbearbangalore thank you!! ❤️
This is the best. I tried himalayan 450, scrambler 400x and my dominar 250. The scrambler is powerful, smooth, great seating and tireless riding experience. Dominarc250 is second and 450 comes last. Best singles are 400x and CB300r.
👍
It's in reverse order for me i own both 450 & 400
Great review 👏 👌 looks like all the seasoned motorcyclists are realising the value of mid capacity or lighter motorcycle are more practical and make more sense ,rather than heavy large capacity motorcycles. More fun ,more usable power,less maintenance cost and larger service network ,guess we are witnessing one of the best era in motorcycling with a wide range in choice and all made in 🇮🇳 motorcycles.
Many thanks.
Bosky thanks for the video. Waiting for your comparison between scrambler 400x and himalayan 450..
Will do soon
Handling and heavyness(too much) are the things that we suffer from RE bikes on a whole .. This bike fixes these 2 major issues making Triumph togo bike for City commute👍
👍
Is it good on the highways?
Get mine next month! This made me a lot happier about my choice.
Congrats
Nice bike and nice review 👌🏽
Glad you like it!
Motorcycle is all about how it makes you feel. Not just numbers on a spec sheet.
👍
I ride a BS4 Duke 200, one thing I have to admit, after the test ride I could not feel that it's almost 30KGs heavier. The weight distribution is done brilliantly. The availability of torque gave me a big smile. Even though I'm 5'8" the height wasn't an issue for me.
Now I'm about to book it very soon.
👍
Beautiful handling ..... Utuns are a bliss .........
Yes they are!
Great review. There seems to be an issue with video at 17:50 where sound and video just hangs
20 second glitch with UA-cam I think. Sorry.
Man, y'all love the motorcyle, great review! I notice that CK said he had issues with its highway performance, was wondering if you could elaborate on that?
Perched seating and exposed to wind blast.
Sir,
Can you suggest some good luggage options (soft panniers and saddle bags) that would be suitable for this bike. I am searching and not able to find anything that is very attractive. Particularly, after seeing your quick release saddle bags on the Him450, I am trying to find similar ones for the 400X ...thanks in advance
Check on rahgear.in
They have some rackless bag systems.
TS400x is unbridled in city traffic due to stalling issues continuously. And wide turning radius with spongy breaks for city over Himalayan 450. If they sort out these than weight is an advantage but you can reduce same in h450 as well.
👍
Hi Bosky, Thanks for the excellent video once again, keep riding : ), And can you please help me choose between the Scrambler 400 x and Himalayan 450 use case is 85 % touring and 15 % offroad and very little city use as this is my second bike : )
Thanks.
Comparison video coming up soon.
Another good and honest review 👍
Please can you mention the brand/kind of mirrors you are having on the scrambler 400x and the cost
RAM Tough Mirrors. Bought from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore via Instagram.
One month with scram and my heart feels satisfied
👍
If they can make a Tiger 400 , man that would be exciting 🎉
Indeed!
Heartfelt review! Loved it!
Sir what about the tyres?
I would assume that tyres also provide a significant differentiation from the Speed.
Could you share your thoughts?
Yes they are different. Street tyres on the Speed and multi purpose on the X.
May i know what are the things close to accurate in the instrument cluster?
Like trip meters, low fuel indicator, fuel levels etc?
All are approximations. After some use you'll get to understand the correlation.
Waiting for this video.
Hope you like it!
@@bigbearbangalore I took Scrambler and 450 himalayan test ride back to back. I loved the scrambler...didn't like himalayan much.
Getting KHUJLI to buy Scrambler but I already have 500 bullet FI-UCE and 390 adv.
Sometimes getting a thought of selling bullet but sometimes think of keeping it. May be someday will make my mind and buy scrambler .
👍
Sir, are the Barkbusters knucklegaurds made for this model or have you used ones meant for another bike? Thanks for the great review!!
It's the one compatible for the Himalayan 411. Thanks.
Thank you sir 🙏
thank you bosky bro
🙏
Oh god after watching this video the next coming week off I am going to the showroom that is 100 metres away from my home to take a test ride.
Have fun!
Hey Brosky! Have you put handle bar risers on 400x? if not then are you planning to put them or stock position is better?
Stock bars. No need for risers. It's ideal as it is. Risers mess with the posture. Many jump to using risers without bothering to correct their posture first.
Hello Bosky and CK, the review looked like a conversation (in a good way). I would like to know what mileage you are getting on this bike? I believe that was not discussed, please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Tha KS.
About 24 kmpl
You should do a comparative of the ADV 390 and Trumph scrambler
Noted. We've done the 390Adv vs the H450 already.
Hi Bosky it’s a good vlog to hear all about scrambler x. I like the mirrors you fitted to the bike. As a biker before I was having 2017 Dominar and sold it few months back. So how do you recommend this Triumph scrambler x as a fun ride going on long trips and 30% off road. Kindly suggest me your comment putting a 3.5 lakhs does it worth!
Mirrors are RAM Tough Mirrors.
Worth or not is a personal choice since it involved money and to each the worh of 3.5 is different. Ride and choose.
Damn these guys are having a lot of fun 😂😂 then review
🙌
Waited for years for these kind of motorcycles to come out but now can't afford them😂😂.
🙏
Hello Bosky
Great content as always.
I’ve got a question for you which might be irrelevant for this video but your views really matter.
Apart from aspects like the value for money and service, would you consider buying Kawasaki Z650RS and still be able to feel close to what you’re feeling for 400X ?
Thanks.
For me one of the most important aspects when selecting a motorcycle is a long travel pliant suspension. And the Z is not that.
Sir since you have seen & felt this machine very closely, I would like to ask that; finding the coolent chamber at the lowest position of the machine is there any risk of leakages while in mountain water crossing or monsoon in my city. Would be an issue to think about.
Regards
No bother aboit the coolant bottle. Even if bashed, it's just a reservoir and the ride can go on.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you sir
Good video, enjoyed it..
You being so technically sound, which I really admire, I would like to request you to make a video that explains how the torque and power is available in different bikes at different rpms..every bike specs let us know about 40ps @certain_rpm for example, but is it available from get go, or certain rpms or 20% of that nm and ps is available at 2000 rpms and then 40ps at certain_rpm etc.
All of these things matter a lot while choosing a bike, and many people only fall for the top numbers, not many reviewers talk about these power deliveries at different rpms because they themselves do not know, they are only beauty-queen-reviewers, hope this comment will get some consideration :), thank you, keep on making amazing videos with different flavours..!!
Many thanks. And noted and will check on this video. Thanks.
@bigbearbangalore Thank you so much sir..
साहेब
I'm planning to go for old Himalayan 411 (not scram not 450) may be because of first sight love. Not using for adventure tour or Off road, will be using for regular use, for office. Some time I go for trekking, so it is helpful. What is ur suggestion? Ur thoughts pls 🙏
If you like it, buy it.
Great review Bosky. Got my Himalayan earlier last week and it seems like this is good at everything the himalayan is bad at. City rides, commute, low end torque, fit and finish. I do think they both heat up to a similar extend.
Do you not mind the vibrations at high revs? I found it very jarring especially since the bike is butter smooth at low revs.
Thanks. I would not say one is good at what the other is bad at. That too extreme. The purpose of for each is different. And I don’t find the buzz intrusive.
I've seen a lot of people facing the issue of the bike turning off when the clutch is applied at lower gears, any solutions to that problem or is it a deal breaker?
It does sometimes shut down at low speeds. It's not a deal breaker for me.
Hi Sir, which you recommend while comparing with Harley 440x vs Triumph Scrambler 400?
Different machines. Try them to know more.
Was awaiting this.. incredible motorcycle this is..
It is!!!
Hi, any issues found with mudguard, is it apt to ride through puddles , Thanks
I didn’t notice anything so different about puddle crossing abilities of the mudguard.
I have been confused what to buy for last one months, booked Scrambler 400x long back but never went to take the TD, himalayan 450 is never available for TD at most of the RE centres, Took TD for Scrambler,felt good ,No initial stalling great Exhaust Note, good punch, but size felt bit small, then went to look for KTM Adventure 390X( big fan till I rode) , delear arranged a customer bike for TD almost 2000 kms done 1st servicing done, still it stalled in 1st gear 2 times, the vibrations so much the console vibrates everytime you start the same
👍
Did you get the engine crash guard from the Triumph service centre? Thanks for the quick response.
Yes. From the Lalbagh road workshop.
Thank you so much
How would you compare this with the Harley440 considering both have fabulous torque set ups, handling and ride?
They are quite different to each other. Test ride to know more.
What lever guards are those, did they just replace the factory ones?
Barkbusters
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a short test ride of the Scrambler 400X.
Regrettably, the buzz coming from the foot pegs and the seat detracted from our overall experience. I had a pillion with me, and both of us were able to perceive these vibrations even at lower speeds. Despite this, I found the motorcycle's posture, suspension, and responsive engine commendable.
I am curious whether the pronounced vibrations were a result of the test drive vehicle enduring extensive/abusive use by various individuals and reviewers? Additionally, I am interested in understanding if these vibrations become exasperating during highway cruising.
Thank you.
Middle weight single will have this buzz. 400X, H450 and 390Adv all have the buzz in the legs.
Especially if one’s coming from a smaller cc vehicle, this is something to get used to. And also get used to the heat and also the engine noise. All part of the package!
The beasty does an awesome magic after 3 gear .......... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Great video, Boss!
Can we have a 30,000 kms Xpulse Ownership experience?
Noted
Hi, what's the frequency of the low speed stalling? Is it bad enough to be a show stopper? I was planning to buy this as my only bike for primarily daily commuting and weekend getaways, so reliability is very important to me
Random stalling at low speeds. I've run about 1,000 kms and it's happened say about 15 times.
Happens to me too. Went to reddit and people suggested an ECU update will fix the issue. But also saw another rider point out that high compression engines are very much prone to bad quality fuels. So I started using shell vpower, the bike didn't face any stalling issues, then I switched back to normal petrol and now facing the stalling issues again. Mixing VPOWER and normal with a 50:50 ratio also didn't work.
@@abykuruvilla Are you sure about the high compression theory? Because I think if that were the case then the 390's would face similar issues and I don't think there have been similar complaints about those bikes.
Also can you clarify when exactly does it stall? Does it stall in any gear as long as the revs are low enough and you fully engage the clutch or does it happen only in higher gears (4 and above)? I didn't see this issue in my test rides but due to traffic I wasn't able to push beyond 3rd gear.
@@abhishekkalahal2093
I saw a few KTM 390 users and a BMW user also pointing out the same. The current tuning of Scrambler 400x makes it more widespread than others. Probably an ECU update will increase the tolerance.
I guess you have saved the negatives for your next video. I rode both the Speed and the scrambler and definitely the Scrambler makes sense in terms of Suspension, Foot peg position, posture with the handlebar, pick up and all other things you ve said.. however, would I BUY one..hmm may be not so soon.. after my ride yesterday on the scrambler my thighs were thoroughly cooked. The braking was also below par to my liking. The finish of the silencer wasn't great either..looked very aftermarket- Not sure if it's the same with all others, but the one I rode from Keerthi motors on JP Nagar, definitely had my thighs wanting to dip them in cold water. Also, did not find it that flickable ( in my opinion the RE Hunter has better flickability). Bike kept stalling at low speeds which is SO IRRITATING 🤔
In my opinion, I would tell myself to wait for Triumph to come up with a 2.0 version negating the niggles..
There's no next video planned for the negatives.
Thanks for sharing yours. 👍
Congratulations on the bike. Happy and safe motoring.
I really thought you would buy a harley x440. Any reason for choosing triumph??
Suspension and what I wish to do with it. My next motorcycle will likely be the X440.
Great review. I saw you did not mention highway touring as its strength. Could you please elaborate? What would be a comfortable cruising speed?
110 is ok to do. The seating is perched and fully open to wind blast hence highway touring is not it's strength. It's good but not great.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you for the clarity
Hey Bosky,
Well a great review and I’m also an Scrambler owner. Can we install any laguage hooks / hangers that will not effect the design of the bike.. if there are certain products, can you please mention those.
TIA👍🏻
Thanks.
I plan to use tail bags and roll bags as luggage systems. No top case or side panniers or saddle bags at the moment.
That was a great conversation.
I too have the scrambler. I agree with all the points. But the braking for me is not very confidence inspiring.
I mostly ride in the city and occasionally on highways, what's your take on replacing the brake pads with the speed's? Speed's braking was more to my liking and I don't see myself off-roading too often.
Thanks. Yes I guess you can do that.
