Triumph Scrambler!

Oh Please, This Triumph Scrambler...Scrambles nothing. As a dirt bike, it is far too heavy, and suspension deficit.

The rider is very highly skilled, and as such combined with great camera work, makes it look good...but...a dirt savvy rider would pick something else.
 
A bonneville with high pipes and different bars?

Steve McQueen's Desert sled (there was a gob of others, including Triumph 500's that Enduro competitors favored) were scramblers....This modern Triumph is just an imposter...No one is scrambling on it.
 
i dont care for the scrambler either, but figured the vid was worth sharing. Alot of bikes today are too watered down to be any good at anything

We all know this, which means we can acknowledge it and move on to enjoying the video. It's like the Naked Gun moves, remember the scene where the guy had something on his face and he goes to wipe it off and it's a half banana? That's like saying 'that's ridiculous, no way would he not notice there was a half banana stuck to his face...'. Instead, we just recognize the absurdity and enjoy it. :)
 
Yeah, it's a poser bike, but it can still be fun. Cycle World had a pretty cool story last year about a guy out east who's tricking them out quite a bit.
