I was planning to go up to the NEC today and have a look at the the bike in the flesh for the first time. Was really excited, but then work caused me to cancel at the last minute. Anyway, four of my friends went up and I asked them to go have a look at the Scrambler and let me know their thoughts.
Now, keep in mind that these guys are keen bikers and very open to all kinds of bikes.... To a man, all four of them said that they weren't impressed at all by the Scrambler! They said it looked like a 'Japanese 125'. It looks tiny (mainly because of the width) and plasticky cheap. They said it looked more like a £5-6000 bike rather than an £8000 one (Classic). To say I was disappointed is an understatement! I respect their opinions and they're not the kind of people to bad mouth something for the hell of it.
Now in two minds about my purchase. I really thought this was going to be the perfect bike, but now I'm thinking about the BMW R Ninet again...
