Hello all!
I desperately need your help making my mind - to scrambler or not to scrambler.
Introduction
I had several bikes in the past, GSXR600, Ducati Monster 696, Ducati 848, Ducati Multistrada 1200S, Ducati Sport 1000s and BMW S1000R. Love them all, but i feel the need for a change and specially the pace i´m riding ... needs to be slower. I´m at a point of getting a Scrambler or stop riding for good.
I have no problem with the lack of technology and power of the Scrambler. I´m willing to change from 160BHP bike to another that have less than half of that. I have one major concern: comfort.
I did a "quick" test drive on a Scrambler last year. The handlebars were too high for may taste, i don´t like vertical position when riding since i have a tailbone problem, i like a more sportier position. Also the seat was very uncomfortable for my taste. So basically i had a bad experience.
My question to the good people on this forum:
1 - Changing the handlebar to a lower one makes a big difference regarding riding position?
2 - Aftermarket seats there are plenty. Based on your personnal experiences can i assume that sargent or similar will improve dramatically the comfort of the bike?
I love the looks of the Scrambler and the possibilites it gives to costumize it
A big thank you to anyone who bothers reading this and take a bit of time to answer honestly.
Regards,
JP
