Looks like my Scrambler is back in style

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.

Does the Triumph come with mirrors?

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.

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!

Here's one that is a little more modern....
