Triumph Scrambler

The Triumph Scrambler, new for 2006, is a tough standard at home either on dirt and gravel or in the city. Sporting an optional number plate indicating a tie to Steve McQueen's racing career.

Coming in around $8,500 new, the air-cooled, carb'd (now FI), 59hp/51ft.lb 865cc parallel twin sits at about 450lbs. It has a 5-speed gearbox, chain-drive and a 32" seat. A single seat with rear rack is optional, perfect for a big ADV-style aluminum box. A 17" rear and a 19" front wheel give confidence on and off road. A 4.2 gallon tank should give decent time between stops.
