Triumph Street Twin

I was at a Triumph dealer in NH last weekend and saw this Scrambler on the floor.

Unlike the Ducati Scrambler, this looks like it could do a little off-road riding.

Yeah, I thought the same thing and was enamored with mine until the honeymoon ended about 6 months into the relationship and reality set in. It's a pig off road, the suspension is horrible, the brakes are even worse, the engine is anemic, its top heavy, the exhaust makes standing very awkward and it weighs a ton! As a street bike, it's okay, and fun, if the suspension and brakes are upgraded and you spend some $$$ to get a few more horsepower.

I regrettably sold my red, sexy, Ducati Monster 620ie with Termignoni pipes, ECI chip, and air filter to buy the Scrambler. That Monster was close to being the perfect city, commuter, day ride bike.

And don't bash the Ducati, this one looks off road ready!
