Modern Scramblers: yay or nay?

[dbarkdoll_imp]

How do you feel about this new scrambler craze? I realize that they use to be all the rage, and that “old is cool” will always have a place in contemporary motorcycle culture, but, they had their time. IMO. Technology has progressed. Long travel suspension is a thing now. Has been, for a long time. If you want a big, ungangly street bike to take off road, it already exists. It’s called an adventure bike now. And it’s far more capable than any scrambler being produced currently. Just seems like a regression, or fad. Where’s the utility? Is anyone actually taking these things off road?

All legitimate questions, curious of y’alls opinions.
