Hi, My brother is looking at a Triumph Scrambler 2011.
It has has several nice modifications like arrow pipes,
end mirrors and has only done 30,000 kms any thoughts on
this bike?September 13, 2017 at 10:12 pm #19457I’ve no personal experience but I’ve heard the suspension is a bit lacking and some find the seat a bit uncomfortable. Nice looking bikes though.
September 13, 2017 at 10:33 pm #19464Thanks I’ll let him know,
From you tube it seems there are quite some differences
between scramblers, this led me to look at some triumph reviews.This one’s very funny… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOY2iTf2GQ8
Like the twisties joke. Waiting to ride my brother’s new baby.
Not sure it will take off my dr650 though.February 14, 2018 at 6:21 pm #24916Now looking at getting a Triumph Scrambler myself. Won’t be for awhile. My brother and I did a 1000 + kilometer ride from wellington to Tauranga (Mt Maunganui.) The DR650 was great and my longest time in the saddle was 9hrs. Ouch!
We took 3 or 4 small breaks for gas at no more than 15 miniutes or maybe twenty. The question is why so much longer on a bike? My brother calls me a slow 100kph rider and himself as a fast 100kph rider. He also added that it averaged out fine. I could probably do the same distance in a car for less time.
It always seems to take longer on a bike. Any Ideas why?
