New scrambler

it's a great bike, and I really liked the characteristics of it. As the Urban is 30mm higher, will that make much of a difference?

The difference in height between the Scrambler and the Urban is in the seat. Fit the (no cost option) taller seat to the Scrambler and it's the same height :thumby:

Ah, ok, I didn't realise it was just a higher seat. I'll see if the dealer has one to try.:thumb
 
Are you sure there's a higher seat option?

Can't see it on the BMW website...

Yep - Pidcocks had one in with the high seat fitted amongst several standard seat height bikes. No cost option on a new bike.
 
Scrambler X

Collected mine yesterday from Allan Jefferies.

Ex demo with 300 miles on the clock had them change the seat to the high.



Did make me smile riding it home, it's fun to ride.
 
Does anyone have anything negative to say about this bike?

Yes me

It is a truly fucking awful bike to ride !

I have just had one as a loaner whilst my XR was being serviced.

I was quite looking forward to it as it is a cool looking bike.

The only thing it is any good for is a nice sunday lunchtime ride down the kings road in all your latest hipster gear

As a usable bike it is, IMO, dreadful not fast does not handle well ( certainly not on the silly knobblies) uncomfy and cramped, heavier than it looks.

Did all of 15 miles as i couldnt stand it any longer.

It might have grown on me had i persisted but i didnt want it to

Apologies to all those who own them and think they are great but I hated the thing
 
What are the tyres on them? They look a bit like TKC70's which are great on the road.

I can see coming from an XR though it would be so different you'd need a lot longer on one!
 
This arrived with me on Monday .... 1 mile on the clock :cool:

Don't tell me......some muppet wants you to paint the tank white with blue stripe and re-cover the seat red ?

Tell her to wait till June and save herself three grand !!

You'll just have to wait and see just how wrong you are ......
 
Excellent ...... I can't wait to see what you come up with :clap

I'll deflate you early on, it's going to be a very simple colour change and a small amount of colour coding. No wild schemes or crazy graphics on this one. It should look cool though!
