TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 1200 - Roothy

https://roothy.com.au TRIUMPH SCRAMBLER 1200 - Roothy When it first came out a couple of yars ago, I wanted one straight away. This has got to be one of the best looking new motorcycles ever released and to ride one, well, it just gets better! Right now it's number one potential new bike purchase for me - although there's a little problem clearing that with the Handbrake.... As its name suggests, the Street Scrambler is based on Triumph’s entry-level retro bike. That means it already boxes well above its weight with a punchy 900cc ‘High Torque’ parallel-twin engine, slick running gear, quality fit and finish, great roadholding and an overall sense that the bike shrinks around you. Like its sibling, the Street Scrambler is an outstanding, thoroughly engineered modern motorcycle that just happens to be draped in taut, semi-retro styling. That visual simplicity and attention to detail we’ve become familiar with is all there, too. That includes hiding its ugly modernity, including the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, brake fluid reservoirs and radiator coolant bottle and associated plumbing. In tight spaces and stop-start crawls, the Street Scrambler takes it all in its stride. It’s nimble, neutral and its generous steering lock gives a nice, tight turning circle. It’s simply easy. Likewise, it’s easy when you bank it over through bends thanks to its easy ergonomics and high, wide ’bars for leverage. I had the opportunity to compare the old with the new at the launch of the Street Scrambler and, although it offered a nostalgic experience, the technological advances of the latest bike smack you in the face. It’s considerably less top-heavy (27kg lighter), its lever pull is much lighter, its gearbox is smoother and, thanks to its crisp fuelling and that 900cc engine, its performance can only be described as like night and day. Specifically, the Street Scrambler offers almost 30 per cent more power and torque, and all of it is delivered in the real-world riding range (2750-4750rpm).
