My brother, heads up the Alaskan Hy, Now and then to visit is daughter. It would be nice, to have a couple scramblers, with large enough gas tanks. If they would just come up, with bear proof pup tents.
I owned a 305 scrambler in 1967 ! ( probably my favorite motorcycle) l had a 350 scrambler in 70 whatever, l can remember! The 350 was a way faster than the 305 But! I’ve owned several motorcycles and the scrambler has a spot in my old heart! The triumph looks good but triumphs are famous for not being dependable. I would probably but it for looks?
top bad most of these can't be bought over here stateside....the cfmoto clx 700 adventure is one I would include here, as well as the brixton 500 crossfire xc is a much better brixton for the scrambler list.
Knobby's look cool in the show room I'll admit, but perform poorly cornering at speed (>50mph) especially in the wet. Shallow knobby's are worthless off road if you hit sand or anything loose & steep. 4" of suspension travel doesn't leave room for dampening much more than a change in road color. These bikes do look romantic, give you that. But tech like a mono shock rear (Hi speed stability), power : weight, fuel economy, engine longevity/reliability might be advancements we're slowly losing in the retro game. Granted they do look way better than the 'insect-transformer' trend. And I love the movement towards analogue displays. Scrolling menus do not belong on motorcycles.(Suck in cars too) Personally all I want to know from my bike is how much faster can I go before I'm noticed by the ticket writer's, fuel level, oil temp, lights & neutral. The rest I can figure out myself or get a nav sys. that actually works (& doesn't phone corporate every 5secs) The biggest innovation I'd like to see more of is cargo storage as boring as that sounds, how many grocery bags can I carry ? Every single manufacturer's already shown me how to get a 3sec clip spinning the rear & how waterproof they want us to believe they are. All Hollywood stupid. No one's that gullible anymore, are they ? (chic's for the most part don't care what you ride.) (more interested in your job, believe me) Initial happiness is fine but long term good road handling & reliability will keep that smile wider longer. Dirt for the dirt. Road for the road, na'er the twain shall meet. As thar lies mediocrity
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; IMHO, the CL500 looks and feels like a bin parts bike so that Honda won't be marked absent from the scrambler frenzy of these times. Honda is one of my favorite companies but this one must be the least attractive bike ever produced by the company.
Scramblers are my favorites. Perfect "everything" bikes
It's hard to beat the beauty of a Triumph ❤
I'd buy that Yezdi tomorrow! 2600 bucks? 350cc and 29 hp? Perfect!
CCM for me. Bit expensive but oozes quality and is everything a scrambler should be.
Motorcycles ELECTRIC 🚾 !!!!!!!
Likes….Looks, less plastic panels, versatility. 🥳
The Tamarit is absolutely gorgeous 😍 . Why get a Brixton, when you can get a Triumph. Last and least, the electric "scrambler" is crap.
Can't beat triumph
I own a yezdi scrambler barring some issues it's pretty good
You missed benelli leoncino 250/500
I like Ducati Scrambler motorcykle😊👍💪👏
Good choice
What about Fantic Motor Caballero 700 cc?
Nice video, I have a Honda cl 500 Scrambler, lovely bike!
is it available in US? Id like to have one....
CCM Maverick is the most balance in both aesthetics and specs.
Int aur gt 650 best hain
The RE Interceptor isn't a scrambler
Agreed
Still looks more scrambler than their Scram 411 😂
upcoming scram 650 and shotgun650
What about they chinesse brand cfmoto clx models ???it's almost a copy of the Ducati scrambler...???
We are no longer covering Chinese products.

You forgot to mention Benelli 500/800 CC scrambler 😏

When talking dirt bike, the important point is weight ! Unfortunately this is missing here
Thank you for the suggestion, I will try to include this metric here
Matisse❤️👍
Honda for women !
Some of them look good just not supporting China or Indian made bikes plus reliability is utmost of importance
The E bike is crap!
Not a fan of EV powertrains?

BAAK ruined a Triumph Scrambler.
These AI narrator's leave a lot to be desired. They're very annoying!!!
AI narrator? What are you talkin about?
@@automotiveterritory artificial intelligence?
Honda CL500 is the best. Not so strong, heavy and expensive. Especialy the engine of Honda very economic and very good.
It's a nice option indeed
