    Competition for Triboys Scrambler

    This doesn't look bad at all, but it would not have the soul of the Triumph (although it might be able to stay upright through stream crossings....)

    You get away with the scrambler because it's retro, thats really just a monster with knobs on, why?
    @200 kgs it ain't light weight, not enough suspension to be serious and way too much power (the KTM990 makes 100 hp and that wheelspins almost anywhere). If they were serious they should give the multistrada a work over, there's a dual sport bike in the waiting!




    I've now calmed down and realise it's something called "marketing", isn't it.

    Carry on....

    Put narrow bars on it and take it in through the front door! You can never have too many toys!

    It's like the bike version of the Nissan Murano. The imposing, yet practical look of an off roader, but with none of the ability.

    It's not a Ducati, it's a Moto Morini, 1200cc and 120hp of water-cooled v-twin muscle.

    Imagine this in the race to the sky against the likes of the HP2!

    Yeah Yeah, allright, honestly arguing about semantics here......


    Maybe my one eyed Ducati lover brain is a bit too quick to react?

    One look at those mufflers and you can tell it's a wankmobile.

    Am I allowed to be so blunt in this forum, or should I be more cryptic ?
