Does the Scrambler come in different trim levels (like a regular and T100 Bonnie)?
The second bike also has a shorter and more compact two into one exhaust instead of the two into two of the first bike. I know that exhaust is available as an accessory. So I'm going to assume that the second bike is also outfitted with an accessory gauge package.

BTW, I voted awesome.

After a quick Google search, it looks like an optional digital instrument cluster.

I voted: Awesome

It is truly a unique looking bike with heritage attached. It's not for me (it's just a little too uncomfortable for my boney bottom), but I can see this bike attracting quite a bit of attention at a bike night. This is really what the KLR650 should have looked like way back in the day as it looks like it could ride anything, anywhere and still be stylish. The KLR of course is a lot cheaper (and less powerful) but that aside, the Triumph is really special. Even the price is really good and the MPG also.

I haven't really seen more than 1 on the road (for shame guys, buy one!).

Funny enough it looks like they took the photos riding in central London, which is an interesting setting for this bike, but, amazingly enough, it works!

We see quite a few of them here, there was a resurgence of the retro Triumph's a few years back
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R
