Let me see garage is full, bank account is thin, my KP is almost to 100K miles and needs to be given back seat duty/rest and a New Cross Country needs to be purchased for multi-day distance touring. Then Indian comes out with a gotta have Scout, BMW the R Nine T, Ducati the Scrambler(full throttle version please). Need a bigger garage and an increase in my consultant rates. What a great time to be alive, lots of choices it's the 70s again, we even have a retro SR400! - Gene

I'm curious if the headlight would swap onto my bike  [evil]
this was my first thought, I reckon I could make it fit.

Hell, I'll say it:take 2" rise out of the handlebars, put a proper black seat on it,   [thumbsup]


This was my second thought. clip-ons, rearsets and a nice curvy single seat!   [thumbsup]

There's always $hit ya take off your bike. Problem solved.

Then you sell it to people in Australia 20 years later.  [laugh]

Maybe I can buy that headlight!   [beer]

Has my name all over it, will set nicely next to the yellow with white racing stripes V92SC, but not the Orange XR1200. - Gene

I like it...

except I'd rather see wiring than those hideous plastic covers.

Where do you live? Not for MY mission anyway. -12 BHP, -8 ft.lbs, budget suspension... If I want a leisurely cruise, I'll ride my T-100.  ;D

Budget suspension is the bummer in my book. I think the power is plenty for the street...so long as 2-up isn't your plan.

I almost called and put a deposit down on one. I was very close...then I remembered that I'd rather get a Griso. I still like the looks of the Scramblers though. I'm going to test ride a Griso again this weekend...and if it isn't as cool as I remember, then I'll likely put a deposit down on a Scrambler (likely the Full Throttle).

I can relate---been toying with selling the Buell to make room for something else.

Gonna try and demo the Scout next week if I can.
