    I have the 900 Street Scrambler, the Scrambler 400X and the Scrambler 1200XE. I absolutely love the 900SS, which is the Swiss Knife of all bikes and is the one I will not sell, whenever I change rotations in my garage. Looking at the reliability of both of the other bikes I own, I have to mention that the 400X is still plagued by teething issues, which need to be resolved over time, ie. the random immobilizer lights on the dash coming on, and I read about random oil leaks, starting and key issues too. My old 1200XC had some issues with the keyfob and I read about subframe issues (maybe they are ridden too hard off road) and dash replacement issues, however have not experienced these with my XE yet. I have not experienced or heard anything of that sort with the 900 though. It is a simple and reliable design, is very accessible, has a lot of torque and is absolutely utilitarian. In my humble opinion Triumph has landed a hit and I hope they keep the production of the 900SS, now called the Scrambler 900 going.

    This is what I was looking for. Everybody's video talks about the scrambler 900 does this or that, but you're the only one I've come across that explains how the bike feels, how the controls are within reach, how easy or hard it is to use the basic stuff, demonstrate how it sits and how it would be for an advanced or beginner rider. Great video!

    I got the Sandstorm Street Scrambler 18 months ago. It's the least powerful bike I've had for quite a few years, but it's the most fun. It feels much lighter than it actually is, and it has the best sounding standard exhaust, although removing the cat makes it sound even better. I was surprised at just how hard this bike can be pushed on twisty roads too. You're right about the looks too - so many people comment on it!

    I absolutely love my Scrambler 900, it's just an incredibly versatile bike, from riding through London where it's small enough and nimble enough to filter, to A and B road blasts of a summer evening.
    Sure it's all a bit turbulent on the motorway, but who wants to ride on the motorway when they're are so many A and B roads to explore.

    I have a BMW 1200GS and a Husqvarna 701. Due to age (74) and a recent back/leg issue I need to get a lower bike. I love to take long trips plus ride dirt and gravel roads. I think this bike could be kitted to do both. I’d have to go with low exhausts and a proper luggage system. The small tank is a problem also so I’d have to address additional fuel. Thanks for the review.

      Hi mate. I hope this translates properly. The old British Scramblers this is based on where basically road bikes modified to run off road. They got chunky tires, raised suspension and a custom exhaust that ran along the bike rather than under the bike. This basically kept it from getting bashed up when riding off road. It also looks really good.

  • @dave8549
    @dave8549 Рік тому +10

    Gorgeous bike except for 1 thing, that front mudguard. It really bugs me. It has the wrong curve. It looks like it was designed for a 17 inch wheel. Like they just used the one off the Street Twin to save a few quid.

    • @phils2180
      @phils2180 Рік тому +2

      That bugged me too so I "reshaped" it to fit the wheel better with CAREFUL use of a heat gun. A bit of a cheap shot by Triumph IMO.👎

    • @krazykittyharleygal
      @krazykittyharleygal Рік тому

      It is odd. It is more of a suggestion than an actual mudguard. Particularly if the bike is taken through rough weather and poor roads. I would probably change it up to a more extended version if they do one.

    Never mind off road, a scrambler is a good choice for roads in the south east of England for the future as far as I can see. World class pot holes, speed bumps and general disrepair of the roads are pretty bad now and will be. Hope Cyprus is a good trip for you.

  • @phils2180
    @phils2180 Рік тому

    I bought one of these in 2020 which got stolen and written off but I liked it so much I went straight out and bought another one.👍I don't commute (retired) but use it all year round, just for general short trip pleasure riding and nipping into town for light shopping etc. Not exactly a lightweight but does carry it's weight well. As with most mass produced bikes the plated finish on some of the fixtures and fitting is poor so you have to keep on top of cleaning and maintenance in wet salty weather. A front mudguard extender works wonders on keeping the rad and front on the engine clean. I also did away with the pillion seat and fitted a rear carrier for practicality. Both this and the 1200 are waaayyyy too heavy for anything more than very mild green lanes IMO. I have a dirt bike which can still be a handful off road at some 100kg lighter!😂

    Love my Scrambler, can't fault it. Perfect for the alpine twisites where I live. Also have a 76 Bonneville, I don't compare the two, but it's also so much fun to ride. Why don't you try and get a classic Triumph to borrow, something like a TR6C, and do a vlog?! Maybe team up with one of the classic bike channels or shops...

    Hi, I'm from India, male, ht 165.5, wt 66, age 72. India average height male 165, female 152 cm. Been riding since 1969. Why all this? Because most european and american bikes cater to a height of 170 and above for flat footing and bulk management (wt over 200kg). Indian urban roads are 80% less than perfect asphalt, riding conditions in non urban areas are as good as off-road riding! India has the most bike sales and bike riders in the world. Bikes with a seat height over 80 cm and weight over 200 kg are an automatic challenge! After riding various bikes ranging from 250cc to my current Triumph Tiger Sport (899cc)...next year seriously planning a down sizing to 400+cc with 78cm seat and 187kg even if less than 40 bhp (you guessed it). Diamente, I enjoy your videos, because your assesments are practical and feel oriented (not saleman like) but you are a relatively tall (and a remarkably fit) girl at 170 cm. Please do consider the above. I seriously wonder why bike manufacturers dont. All the same... ride safe. Great presentation. Regards. Shashi.

    • @tomboyabit

      You know I’ve been thinking about it a lot too. I don’t struggle on most bikes because I am 175cm. But to be honest with you I meet more riders who are smaller not taller than me.
      I hope the brands will start thinking about it especially for the beginners and not always tarmac riders.

    Was waiting for this one as I’m strongly considering buying TS 900 as my first bike here in the UK, albeit a pre-used one.
    Apart from various comments in here about the suspension, I wanted to as you and the rest of your subscribers here who have owned/ridden this bike, does the high dual exhaust create any sort of discomfort? One can assume that you can feel the exhaust on your inner right thigh and of the pillion rider as well.
    Also, I see that there are different riding modes available on this bike; how reactive and responsive are these modes?

      Hey Nair Bikes. I just bought this bike last year. The exhaust you can feel if you hug the pipes with your legs but in no way is it in any way harmful, hot or anything like that. You just feel a little warm, which is helpful on cold days lol. This was the first bike i ever bought and it is so easy to drive and use. Feels completely natural to drive. I haven't used the different modes very much yet to give any sort of real experience. What little i have used, you can see a difference in the take off control with the throttle. Which helps with rain / gravel etc for sure.

Even when the weather is really shitty I would like to commute on it. In the winter I am thinking about putting on a touring height windscreen, have heated grips, and wear heated, waterproof gear. Can a person enjoy riding one of these in terrible wet, cold conditions? I was thinking about getting a Tiger 900 for better weather protection, but overall I prefer the Scrambler or Speed Twin 900.

    this bike have very good characterisitic like for me 👌🏻 80 nm at 325065 hp 7250 rpm very nice 👍🏻 but its to heavy like for me and to big wheelbase 😉👌🏻 if it would have 200 kg full tank and 140 cm wheelbase instead of 223 kg and 146 cm than 👌🏻👌🏻+ stronger frame .

    Very curious to know what you thought of the suspension?. It's quite short travel for a scrambler.
    I know my next bike is going to be a scrambler and I've narrowed my list down to three. This bike though I've yet to ride one. A Ducati desert sled I have ridden & loved but high & expensive maintenance scares me off. (A mate has one & he wants to sell it for that very reason). The last one is the new Fantic caballero 700 which should be available soon?. That's a gorgeous bike and the Yamaha cp2 engine is awesome to say the least.
    I live on a farm in Herefordshire a few miles from the Welsh border with thousands of miles of pothole riddled B&C roads. This triumph is the most beautiful of the three but I'm just not sure the suspension is up the roads & green lanes around here?.

      I haven’t tried it on the green lines. But even if I had done it I wouldn’t have been able to tell much. I don’t have much off road experience. Yet.
      I loved Ducati height, but same expensive maintenance would make me question it. At the end of the day it’s a scrambler. Needs to be ridden all weathers, all roads.
      On the road I haven’t noticed any odds of suspension. When it’s too hard or too soft for me I feel it. And I say it.

      @@tomboyabit I do worry about the suspension & it's my only hesitation except that before I decide I really want to at least see the new Fantic caballero 700 in the metal. I don't plan to do much green Laning, but I do want a bike capable of a bit at least. Maybe I'm just weird, but to my eyes the triumph scrambler 900 is just hands down the sexists bike out there.
      There's also something else about it. I reckon it would save me lots of money over time. You know as well or better than any how much money we spend customizing a bike with new exhausts etc. The triumph is just so gorgeous right out the factory what would you actually change?.

      you should check out scrambler stories page if your worried about the suspension. he's ridden his from Florida to Alaska and all over the Arizonian desert. its no dirt bike but its suspension is just fine for the worst of roads. as far as changing anything from the factory about the looks, i did a tail tidy on mine

      This will be my fifth season with this bike .I use it a lot on gravel and bumpy dirt roads but not single track ..I got better pegs for standing or posting in the rough .If you have an extra $2K for an Öhlins Suspension it would be great but on the whole it is a perfect back road roadster as is

      The only time I've ever really felt the heat was last year's DGR - London. The combination of high ambient temperatures, lightweight suit and very slow speeds meant the heat built up.
      The rest of the time you don't really feel it, although I did find myself stretching my leg neck over the exhaust the other day to warm it up a bit, then again, it was - 2°.

    What, the Triumph 900 Scrambler only produces 64.1 BHP @ 7250 RPM, my 1980 Benelli 900 Sei produces 80 BHP @ 8400 RPM.

      Then again, the Triumph has enough torque to pull tree stumps out of the ground 😉
