Scrambler
« on: November 10, 2015, 09:11:35 AM »
Road one a few weeks after they were released in the US and wanted one ever since.  Finally pulled the trigger when I got the deal I wanted on a demo with under 1K on the clock.  This thing is a kick to ride...  Light weight and a ton of torque.  After having many different bikes I wanted something I could jump on rain or shine and ride just about anywhere, even does well on the highway.

You should grad the latest Motor Cyclist. They took Ducati and Triumph Scramblers, put decent knobbies on them and rode them in the Bonnier Adventure Rally in Colorado. Apparently they acquitted themselves quite well.

You say for good rain, but for the rain we've had this year you need the exhaust pipe up another foot or it's underwater.  I think the Honda and Triumph keeps you out of the flood better.
