(NGC) 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200

[kingoffleece]

Good Lord...typical negative, old man Wildguzzi responses.

The XE version has fully adjustable Ohlins and Showa USD suspension with almost 10" of travel.  It has tubeless spoked wheels in sizes that make sense off road.  It has ABS and traction control that can be completely turned off.  It has a tank range of over 200 miles.  It has 90hp and 80ft/lbs of torque and a dry weight of 456lbs.  It's absolutely everything you could ask for in a bike that you use to travel long distances on rough gravel but don't want a fairing.

It is a perfect bike to jump on and set the cruise control for the 1400 mile ride to Caniapiscau and then ride the 400 mile Trans Taiga.  It's also perfect for exploring gravel service roads out West or any place else. 

I know it's shocking but not everyone wants to a ride a 40hp V7.  Triumph is running the new Scrambler in the Baja 1000.  Try that with your V7 and get back to us.         

Spot on.  When I  move out west I'll give these serious consideration.  I'm not a hard core single track guy anymore but the zillions of dirt and gravel roads out there make the Triumph a option for sure.

I hope they sell a ton of these. I always liked the looks of the triumph scramblers and hope that this bike hurts resale of the older version so I can afford to pick up one as a third bike. I Would almost never take it off road, just looks like a fun play bike.

I like the new Triumph Scramblers a lot...However, this 750cc beauty at only 410 pounds "wet" would also do the trick!

Within the next year, I am going to buy a "dual-sport" bike for here in Vortex-Land...and a smaller, lighter bike is the key!

Stopped by my local BMW dealer yesterday to order a few pieces for the GS.   They had several 2019 R9Ts on the floor.  Fit and finish    I haven't owned a new BMW since my 2004 Rockster.  I believe I'd do one of the new R9Ts, possibly the Scrambler.  Sell/trade the CB1100 and 1200 Sport, keep the old GS (I'm into it too much to sell it!)

Dealer gave me a 9T Scrambler last year that was being sold as a demo and needed some miles put on it.
I thrashed it (within reason) all day and had a blast.  On road only, though.  Didn't want to take a guy's (almost) new bike off road.

I don't mean to hijack a Triumph thread, but I'd like to hear more about a 410lb wet weight V7.  JJ, is that a Stornello in the picture?  Details, please??!!

I like it. I've had five Triumphs over the last 12 years, three purchased new and two purchased used. The reasons Triumph has been so successful over the last 10 years is for two reasons. One is they produce a quality product, two is that they listen to the marketplace and produce products that customers want, and buys. This is another one that will sell, just about all their modern classics do.

Thanks JJ and steven c,

419 dry weight, maybe?

I'll research a bit more, in the meantime back to Triumph talk.

Not a scambler, but my brother's gorgeous 2014 Thruxton is on the classifieds now, drop dead gorgeous bike. No time to ride right now. For those who don't want the water cooling and ride by wire etc, it's a great option.
Personally, I think the new Scramblers and the new Street Cup are gorgeous, if expensive.
