Is this a re-post? Norton

I'd have to agree - if i was to go that way i would actually look more at a early 70's 750 Tiger or a 650 Bonnie.
Which reminds me - how much do those Triumph Scramblers go for? anyone know what they are like off road?

the scrablers are ok off road, not great but not bad. Good value for money.

Or so said the mag I read in cycletreads, never ridden one myself

by all accounts they are great road/street bikes but not offroadable really. Far too heavy and not enough suspension. I look at them (and their relatively low seat heights) and think about all the gravel roads there are around here, all the farm roads in the high country, and all the times I've gone past a turn off and thought "wonder where that road goes" then flagged it thinking about how shit Super Corsas would be on shingle.

One of the bikes I would LOVE to own. theres one on tardme at present for ~$`12500.

I am sure that Big Dave did a few adventure rides on one recently and posted here.
