Damn it, just saw a walk aound vid from the long beach IMS of this scrambler. triumph ain't f-ing around,it looks the business. I'd skip this year's show b/c I didn't think any 2019 bikes worth seeing would be there....

I guess it looks kinda cool if you're into retro bikes, but I don't get why so many people drool over this bike, but complained that the Africa Twin is too heavy. The Triumph will likely weigh more and be less capable than the AT in every way.

truth of the matter is, no matter what manufacturer,category of bike,buyers will find it too heavy, too expensive, too slow. and i would wager most of those buyers never consider spending money to improve their riding skills to offset those perceived short comings.

the reason this scrambler is so appealing is the styling,first, then performance second.Im sure the aftermarket will help with latter.....
