Ok tonight I drove myself 45 miles the wrong way home to get a peek at the Scrambler that landed in my local dealers in Ashford. On arrival it was said not to be ready being PDI'd but after some chat he said I will see what I could do. He said oh he must be out testing it so shouldn't be long. So a nice cuppa tea and natter later the bike returned and I was given the first sit in the garage on a red scrambler icon.

Oh relief it wasn't too small and feet planted on the floor with comfort and still sitting on the saddle. Feet up and knees in a comfy normal position and not under my elbows. The nightmare was over and the very fact I tried a seat on a Monster 821 earlier put that one to bed.
The Scrambler is for me and the dream lives on and booked a test ride but I have to wait for reasons personal to me but that's fine as I get 2 hours on Monday the 9th Feb with the GoPro ( which they are glad and hope to see the footage too ) all relaxed.

Its very light and very comfy feel position very similar to my Yamaha TT500 bike and the bars feel nice.

Yes being tall at 6'1" it was worrying but put that to bed. The mechanic was very pleased the way it rode bearing in mind just turned its first road miles. They will basically run it in next day or two and demos very soon to the booked ones. I may well end up buying that Termi single exhaust.

I asked if I could have the cardboard case wrapper for some garage wall art. They said NO PROBLEM we get you. One side kept plain and the other painted around the outside of scrambler in YELLOW.

I havent got it yet. They would have given me the demo one but was damaged after put in recycler. Sadly. They will save if you desire they say. I wonder if I could have the tie downs too.
