      I'm having bad ideas of running this high pipe on the Thruxton.

      It'd end up a bit like this customised Ducati Scrambler, albeit more retro.

      I agree that they're nice looking machines, and with the 160-odd aftermarket parts that Triumph are offering, they'll be easy to personalise. I also suspect that they'll be pretty quick, and could shock a few 600cc sports bikes.

        The Thruxton R looks sensational.  I wonder if they will be made in Thailand or back at Hinckley, I've heard rumours both ways.

            It looks like the Suzuki Recursion is coming. 😃

              In the last week, I have been invited on motorcycle adventures in China and Thailand.  I have therefore at last got a really good reason to sort my feckin licence out.  Permission has been granted by the keeper of the purse strings for me to buy a Ducati Scrambler…..

                Sorting your license out is a good thing. 🙂

                There are rumours of a couple of new Scrambler models to be unveiled at EICMA in a about a week and a half. Ducati's press day is on 16th November.

                Husqvana are also rumoured to be bringing a production version of their Svartpilen and Vitpilen concepts. I don't know if they'll appeal, but they're a different riff on a modern scrambler.

                  Been awaiting the actual 2017 release date of the Husqvarna 401 Vitpilen for a bit over a year now. If they can actually keep the production runs as close as possible to the aesthetics of the concepts, it would mean a whole new game for the latest killing the Scrambler game, which IMO, is pretty weak. It's unfortunate that it looks to be only around the 400cc displacement, yet at the same time, I would be very curious to see if it could be within my reach from a financial standpoint as I'd still be all over this bike like a fat kid on an open bag of Smarties! 😃

                    So you haven't seen the spy shots of the 701 Café Racer with the 690 engine then? 😉

                    Sorry @Giles I think that @activechild might be cutting back on IH purchases in the near future…

                      I'm mildly tempted by the concept of the Ducati 400 Scrambler…..

                        The only problem with the Scrambler 400 is that it's ridden by a hipster, skateboarding gorilla. 😛

                        I'm looking forward to seeing what Ducati spring on us at EICMA next week. They've got nine new models coming.

                          Ducati have posted a teaser video of the nine new models they're going to unleash on Monday…

                          It includes this shot of the upcoming Scrambler 400, which is being ridden along the beach in Gosvegas. 😉

                          There are some more, poor quality spy shots of the baby Scrambler at Motociclismo.

                                  The CBT is pretty straightforward. Are you doing it with Mark?

                                      Yes, he sounds really great and I can split it all up, so I am never more than a day out of the office…..

                                          I've just my sensible head on and have ordered a Yamaha 125…..Because of my relationship with them I get a really amazing deal.  I can use that after my CBT until I do the real test....
