Triumph Scrambler 1200
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 has a top speed of 193 km/h (approx. 120 mph, estimated — Triumph has not officially published a figure), produces 90 hp and weighs 207 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De Triumph Scrambler 1200 werd in 2019 geïntroduceerd als een moderne voortzetting van de originele Scrambler-lijn van Triumph uit de jaren 60, gebouwd op het Thruxton 1200-platform met echte offroad-capaciteiten in plaats van alleen een scrambler-esthetiek. Hij werd aangeboden in twee varianten — de XC (Cross Country) en de meer capabele XE (Cross Exhaust) — waarbij de XE een langere veerweg en serieuzere dirt-eigenschappen had. Het model staat bekend als een van de weinige scramblers met een grote cilinderinhoud die echt zowel op als naast de stoep kan presteren, en wordt alom geprezen door liefhebbers van avonturen- en retro-motorfietsen.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Strong Resale Value
The Triumph Scrambler 1200 holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 75-85% of its original price after two years. Limited production numbers and strong brand desirability keep used prices consistently high.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Some early models (2019-2020) reported throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle and uneven power delivery. Always test ride and listen for hesitation, as a dealer sync fix is straightforward but important to catch before purchase.
Genuine Off-Road Capability
Unlike most 'scrambler' styled bikes, the 1200 XE variant features 9.8 inches of ground clearance and proper long-travel suspension, making it one of the few large-displacement scramblers actually built for light off-road use.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The adventure-retro benchmark that actually earns its premium asking price."
$9,500-$14,500 usedThe Scrambler 1200 is one of those bikes that actually delivers on its premium promise, which isn't something you can say about many retro-adventurers. The 1200cc parallel twin pulls hard from low revs, the suspension travel is genuine rather than decorative, and it genuinely handles dirt tracks without embarrassing itself. Buy the XE over the XC if you're doing any real off-road work — the longer travel suspension makes a meaningful difference. Used examples need careful inspection around the TFT screen connections (early units had condensation issues) and check the exhaust headers for bluing, which suggests previous owner ran it hard without proper warm-up. Brembo brakes should feel sharp; if they're spongy, budget for a fluid flush minimum. Service intervals are every 10,000 miles but Triumph dealers aren't cheap. Honestly, it's a genuinely capable machine dressed in beautiful clothes. You're paying a premium over comparable adventure bikes, but the quality difference is tangible the moment you sit on it.
