Love the colour but it’s a bit naff with all the 007 and Bond markings. https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/triumph-scrambler-1200-bond-edition/
I've never been into Limited Edition stuff myself, it seems like an excuse for a manufacturer to stick on a few bits of bling to a standard model and charge a premium price for what is basically the same bike. MV are always at it
I think James Bond will buy one ... I mean, he is real and all that isn’t he ??..... ya pretty naff idea from the Triumph marketing team although the filmmakers may have dobbed them a few bob to keep interest up in the delayed release of the new film ...
Love the colour scheme but would feel a tw@t riding it. Made me think of the Omega Seamaster Bond edition, lovely watch in standard trim, but not with 007 all over the dial.
F**k it! I’m staying well away from that one, I don’t want some poncy licenced to kill type coming round in the middle of the night wanting his bike back.
Oh yes please! Hang on... it's an extra £6,200 for black paint, enamel badges, Arrow can and a high level mudguard... Err, no thank you!
How sad! Would you really want "Bond edition" stitched into the back of your seat? Pull up at your local bike meet and wait for the piss taking to start!
I have to admit that I really like the all-black look. Really, really nice, and without the 007 branding and hugenormous price hike I'd be tempted. Thinking about the mods I make to my bikes, the 3-piece Givi pannier set as per my Street Scrambler would cover the exhaust imprint and saddle embroidery, the sat nav bracket would hide the top triple clamp and I quite like the big logo on the tank and the badges on the engine... All they need to do is knock about £5k off the price and it would be about right.
I think if the 007 theme had been kept more discrete with just the handle bar clamp to say it’s a special that would have been enough because it’s a smart looking bike but £18.500 is taking the piss for a blacked out XE.
In sleepy owls post the mcn write up on the scrambler 007 it says it’s £18.500 and there only making 250.
It’s possibly even a bit more naff than the opportunity a few years back to buy brand new Harley Davidson police bikes fitted with all the gear, red & blue lights and your own personal selection of badging. .. you could be Highway Patrol, Secret Service, etc etc .. you wouldn’t half feel a chump stuck in our traffic with a load of folk taking the p**s
Lose the bond theme bits and the bike looks ok. Just a gimmick, can't believe any sensible bikers will want to own one.... or maybe there is
£18.5k to ride a bike with somebody else's name on it. But they'll sell, and then some will appear on ebay for even more money Mind you if a young Ursala Andress then rocks up in a chamois bikini to clean it every month I'll add it to my list. I realise I'm mixing up Bond films with 10000 yrs BC, but hey it's my dream.
