Scrambler 1200

Good colour choice! Can't wait for mine! Have fun and post a review soon..

 

The more I look at them the more I like them good colour by the way

 

okay so 750 miles in and wow what a bike!
I feel like I got a bargain, this bike is everything its hyped to be and more.
Rides almost like a sports bike in the bends but seems to take all the pot holes in its stride without being upset and throwing the bike off line if it hits crappy surfaces mid corner.
The engine is a peach bucket loads of low down and a lovely linear line of power right through the range.
Can`t wait to get in some longer trips this year, I will be touring on this bike just like I have on all my bikes but this time I will be comfortable as well as very happy!
If you are about 5.8 or more you will be fine on this bike, I am just 6" and I can flat foot and don`t find the height a negative, its great being higher in traffic as you can see everything happening ahead.
This bike seems to have a lot of presence, people are seeing me and getting out of the way of the bit white and green friendly giant coming through.

 

My new 1200XC showcase model arrives in the morning. I feel like a kid Christmas Eve! A test ride completely sold me, I already have a 2006 865 scrambler and a bmw 1150gs, pretty sure they will both be sold soon! The gs is just too top heavy and the 06 scrambler lacks the grunt and suspension.... comparisons..
Anyone w a 1200? Need ideas for your favorite accessories to add!

 

Also... where is the best forum for 1200 scrambler? Not much activity here..

 

The 1200 seems to be getting some favourable comments regarding handling. Can one of you owners tell me what tyres it's wearing? I'm wondering if they make a pair that'll fit my Street Twin.
