Introduced in 2006, the parallel twin-cylinder Scrambler adds a new twist to the Modern Classics range and is a fresh take on some iconic bikes from Triumph's past. It's a redefinition of the bikes made famous by thrill-seekers such as Steve McQueen, into a contemporary urban context.  A "do anything, go anywhere" kind of bike, inspired by California desert racers of the 60s, the Scrambler has been specifically developed for a particular group of riders currently underserved in the market.  These riders share the view that motorcycling is great fun, socially acceptable and a liberating experience, and desire a bike that's easy and unintimidating to ride in the rough and smooth parts of town or out and about on a longer jaunt.  A bike designed to make a distinctive, personal statement that appeals to and is understood by both their biking and non-biking peers.  Enter the Scrambler.  Very few motorcycles can claim to be unique but the Scrambler, thanks to its authentic styling is certainly one of them. The flat seat, small headlight, single speedometer and upswept pipes help mark its difference. Only Triumph, with the brand's strength and sense of its own history could credibly produce such a machine, creating a whole new niche of motorcycle in the process.
