Nice to see Triumph release their new Scrambler. I was struck by the similarity between my '73 Honda Scrambler and the new Triumph. Always liked street scramblers :)

I'd personally bet that your old Honda is more fun. 8)

Thanks for the optimisim/compliment. But, the Triumph, being a 900cc giving more torque and about 20 more horsepower only weighs 100 pounds more. I know, a 100 pounds isn't exactly insignificant, but my CL350 was quite heavy for its era at 348 pounds. Still a fun ride, I have it plated until December 22nd. :cold:

And Triumph aren' the only ones - Royal Enfield are offering a trials version of the Electra Bullet..

It's a reworked 500cc motor, about 78mph top speed and i've fallen in love with it!
