Well I certainly wouldn't be doing that, although I wouldn't mind the front forks and brakes (Street Triple, yes). I think well be seeing a Thruxton and maybe a Bonne with that same set up later this year or next year.
 

Stock tyres are B/stone Trail Wing. Surprisingly good grip in the dry but had a couple of moments in the rain last week. I'm currently finding lots of dirt roads and trails round the place so want to keep them dual purpose for now. I like the rugged look anyway. But you're right, the handling is excellent even with stock suspension (which I will be changing).
 
That Scrambler is absolutely awesome looking!!!

Enjoy the ride.

We were at a Triumph Rally here in Pennsylvania last June and saw a Scrambler in person for the first time and fell in love with it.

Until I saw the Rocket (which we immediately bought!!) I was looking into the Triumph Tiger.

But that Scrambler turned my head fast.

Stay safe and enjoy the ride!!

God bless!!

I don't understand the getting rid of the Rocket and replacing it with the scrambler. Can you explain ?

I've actually been contemplating doing exactly that. Although I initially was looking at the new Ducati Scrambler, it seems a bit too small and cramped for a normal sized human. The Triumph seems a bit more accommodating. I'm getting quite tired of the weight and size of the R3. Something a bit more lithe and flickable seems quite appealing.
