i agree, all i can think about while riding my scrambler is how i'd rather be scrolling through menus and reading my text messages. get with the times triumph UGH
I’m afraid to say that there’s no such thing has a perfect bike , sounds like you need an adventure bike! But none of them will never look has good as your Scrambler
Thanks for the love on the Scram! I’d love a bike for every purpose but, for most things I think the scrambler is absolutely perfect
I have to agree with everything you said. These things annoy me too . In addition why the hell didn’t Triumph put spoked tubed wheels on the scrambler 98% of riders will never go off road on it.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome scrambler! Only thing I'd say is it's a scrambler, part of the original design of the scrambler and bobber style motorcycles is that they're minimalist bikes, so asking for more tech on a scrambler goes against the design philosophy of the scrambler. Really the 900 street scrambler is more of a true scrambler than the higher 1200 Triumph scrambler, with all their tech and offroad specialized parts.
I know I know, I just wish there was a little more integrated stuff for like maps or something and I know there’s the beeline moto stuff but, from dealer always seems to work better in my opinion. I’m glad you like the Scram!
You need a 1200. The 900 is basically a town bike. Plus may I recommend Continental TKC-Rocks tyres. I have owned 2 Scrambler 900’s. I always wanted a 1200xc, but I am too short for it. The 1200x is just a rip-off. I could try to lower the XC but I actually went for a lighter Italian bike. The new bike is only 175 kilos as opposed to the 223 kilos on the 900. Definitely more flickable but I will miss the sound of the Triumph. 😉🙏
Everyone keeps saying I need a 1200 I love my 900 though and will never said it so maybe in the future it will be a consideration
The reasons you hate it are the reasons I bought it. Simplicity with no complications. Didn’t intend to do long rides but the fuel range is annoying. I’m only getting around 130 miles
I’d say that’s about right for the scram. I’ve got 150 before but, that was riding it tamely rather than “spiritedly”
Absolutely agree with this line is amazing it’s a pleasure to fill up just to play with the tank cap to be honest
For sure dude!
Triumph in west London do a custom Fat Tank for it - 14.5 litres. Dunno the cost though
That’s actually a great shout!
I recently watched a vid where they put a T120 tank, wich has 2 litres more, on a scrambler. Looked a little more bulky.
What grinds my gears is the short front mud guard. The radiator just gets pummeled by everything you drive over and looks like crap after just a few hours of driving. In rain it´s almost instant.
I feel you especially in the uk when it’s always raining! Went high mudguard on mine and love it even if I am constantly washing the bike. 2 extra litres would work out sweet for the Scramhler! A nice sweet spot I reckon
That's an easy fix....fit a fender extender
I think it’s all the mud from the fields we’ve had a very wet couple of months over here
I hate dual clocks. I like the simplicity of it and the lay-out. My only gripe for technology is a handlebar area doesn't have USB.
Fuel is a bit sucky.
I like the tyres. They get hard rutted dirt roads in Oz and potholes the size of boilers.
Agree on the pillion. I did put a rack with grabs on it.
Tbf, my #1 gripe is suspension. I've now got Ohlins and progressive adjustable springs at the front. If it rode bumps like a V-strom this'd be a much more likeable proposition .
I don’t mind the lack of usb up front because I just run my wires under the tank to the under seat usb.
Fuel consumption can be high. Personally the Perrellis I have on atm corner so much better.
100% agree with the shocks they could be so much better and even maybe a little rise in height because sometimes I feel a little low down
I collected my scrambler 900 yesterday, looking at mods already, are they the Zard slipons please ? If so where did u order them, bike sounds class 👍🏻
Zard 6 day slip ons with a free spirits H pipe, bike runs so much better with this set up than stock
@@Nomad_Scrambler class ! Cheers for the reply dude 👌🏻
No dramas!
@@Ayresy_83 Order directly from Zard in Italy. You can manage a little discount from Erika if you start up a dialogue. Love them.
It should come with a center stand, standard, especially for that price. All classic Triumphs were equipped with centerstands, standard. Also agree about the dumb ineffective short front fender comments. Also I think Triumph is "cheaping out" by not delivering the bikes with polished or chrome cases and chrome wheels like they used to in the 2000's, when they were really trying hard. Now it seems like they are coasting and cutting corners. Even the dual tone "paint" isn't paint --- the stripe is a decal. The 2000s bikes had 2 tone paint, with a hand painted pinstripe. I don't want the tech. I want to ride the bike. I don't want a computer chip riding the bike for me.
Personally I don’t mind not having a centre stand or chrome cases. I love the black think it looks better in my opinion but, I do agree that every manufacturer is looking to cut corners and increase profit margins
@@Nomad_Scrambler hm, well, I can't live without a center stand. It gets the back wheel off the ground and the front wheel touches the ground very lightly and the front wheel, too, can easily be raised off the ground. You can do a million things. Change tires, chain, sprockets, fork oil, grease headway bearings, change oil, and on.
I prefer the polished aluminum and chrome for 2 main reason. First, that's how the originals came...so if I'm buying a bike in large part for its looks, I'd like it to look more like originals. It's weird that Triumph literally makes the engine to look exactly like a T120R 650 engine, but then paints it black? Second, black cases scuff easily, and then eventually wear through down to the aluminum where you boots touch it. Also can't keep black clean. I had a black bike once, and in 2 or 3 hours it'd show every bit of road dust and look like hell again.
Get a c90 then buh, plenty of miles on those.
I’ve got a street scrambler & I can’t knock it; best bike I’ve ever had 🇬🇧👍🏻
Did you not make a list of your needs before buying? Every thing you criticise was known before purchase! As with other comments the reason you give are all reasons for me buying the scrambler. Simplicity, no gimmicks/gadgets. Even the tyres - possibly not my first choice but a tyre that is rated by many adventure bike riders! Mate you simply bought the wrong bike for your needs.
Personally I disagree I absolutely love my bike and will never sell it. Get more bikes?… yes 100% but, don’t let the title lead you astray all of these things I “hate” are just things I would like. Right now my bike is exactly how I want it and fits what I want from it at this moment in time
I have the scrambler 900 2017 and found that the bike loves drinking fuel! However, I did a few tests last week with E10 and E5 petrol. Going out down the countryside on Tuesday, I used E10 and my fuel light turned on around 110 miles. On Thursday I used E5 and my trip was exactly the same and the light turned on around 140 miles. I've only started using E5 in the Triumph as somehow it lasts longer? I'm not here to start a debate with anyone by the way! Just my experience 😅
Couldn’t agree more the E5 runs much better in my bike and the price difference is barely noticeable when filling up, only run E5 in my bike and E10 as a last resort! Thanks for the insight as it’s what the comments are for!
@@Nomad_Scrambler I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😁Defo worth the extra £1/£2!!
100% worth it. More smiles per mile!
I'd love to swap the single clock for the dual bonneville ones
Personally I love the dual style clock think it fits the bike well but, I can understand the appeal of the dual clocks
Which exhaust do you have ?
I have Zard 6 days slips ons as my end cans and then running the Freespirits H pipe to decat the bike
@@Nomad_Scrambler the sound is awesome but I am sure that these are not allowed in Germany. So I need to find kind of similar exhaust 😄😄😄
personally. Why make a bike if it has flaws? I love bikes but bike company's really piss me off sometimes. I'm not gonna buy a bike if everything isn't perfect. It's a goddamn bike!!!!!
Personally for me part of owning a bike is making it custom to me, I love my bike and wouldn’t dare sell it but, there are things I knew I wanted to change when buying it.
It’s a scrambler bit a cruiser
Sounds like you need the 1200 scrambler
Have been tempted by them but, I’m not sure they’re for me
@@Nomad_Scramblerah ok, true it is a different bike. Maybe you need both 😈 😂
My bank account is crying at the thought of having both 😂
@@Nomad_Scrambler ha ha ok. I test rode both but decided I can’t afford either 😭😭😭🤣
I really want a second bike so will be looking into it in the future for sure
Scramblers used to be made, not bought. Personalize your moto for YOU. Sell the takeoff parts.
That’s what I’ve been doing dude, slowly converting it to how I want it to look and feel
