And just in case you want to film yourself taking a spill in the sand, Triumph has graciously integrated a GoPro control system. Surprisingly, the TFT screen blends incredibly well into the retro styling. The XE is the pure off-roader.īoth have a thoroughly modern TFT display to house instruments. The XC is a street scrambler with off-road capability. The bike comes in two variations: the XC and XE. Or maybe, a tuned version of the Bonneville T120 – depending on whether you’re a glass-half-full or half-empty rider. On the Scrambler 1200, you’ll find a detuned version of the same twin 1200cc engine used on Triumph’s Thruxton.
#SCRAMBLER MOTORCYCLE MOVIE#
Just to ramp up the marketing to 6th gear, road-racer and now broadcaster Guy Martin (with Triumph’s assistance), recently used a modified Scrambler 1200 to re-create that most famous of movie stunts. These bikes pay close adherence to classic motorcycle styling, yet, come replete with equipment and components found on modern motorcycles. Let’s begin with the thoroughbred retro adventure motorbikes or more aptly scramblers. Modern Classic, Scrambler Motorcycles (Retro Adventure Bikes)

Jump to information for each scrambler bike. Admittedly the list has the rather long title of: ‘ Best Scramblers, Retro Enduro and Retro Adventure Bikes you can Buy in 2022 and beyond ‘.Īnd for good measure, you’ll also find a couple of retro adventure concepts that are highly likely to go into production below. Nonetheless, it’s with those considerations firmly in mind, that we’ve created this list – (as a starting point). A fantastic performing bike, which doesn’t meet your quality and aesthetic ideals, or vice versa (not going out on a limb here) is probably not the best bike for you. So with that in mind, you may be wondering ‘ which is the best scrambler or retro style adventure bike?’ Truly, the answer to that question ultimately lies with the individual rider (obviously). And for such riders, scramblers are perfectly suitable stand-ins for touring motorbikes. Yet there should be no concern for modern/classic riders, as these days most of the major motorcycle marques have a scrambler model in the lineup. However, there’s just one problem: modern adventure bikes have a distinctly utilitarian aesthetic that’s unlikely to meet the needs of classic and retro riders. (And definitely one with more wind protection.)Ĭlearly, within the modern adventure motorcycling segment, one finds better-suited touring motorcycles which have all of those things in abundance.

It may not surprise you to know, that for some of those 3,000 miles (about 2,999-miles) fantasies of an upright scrambler bike or adventure motorcycle with wide handlebars abounded. And, somewhat defiantly he completed the journey on Triumph Thruxton R. He did this with woefully inadequate trip-planning (which mostly amounted to affixing Malle London luggage), then pointing the bike in the general direction of mainland Europe. A couple of years ago, this writer took a road trip from his home in Wales UK, to Zurich Switzerland, via Biarritz France, for Wheels & Waves.
