I can only see dry weight on the specs which is quoted at 205, so approx 227ish ?
Specs here https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/motorcycles/classic/bonneville-scrambler-1200/specification
90bhp and 110nm sound useful.

Will be interesting to compare with my R9T Scrambler when they come out which already makes more BHP/Torque at 110BHP/116NM and weighs in at 220KG wet.
Still have fond memories of my last 865 Triumph Scrambler

Both of them are 'heritage' lines so as much about looks as anything, and whilst I'd expect the BMW to easily beat the Triumph in performance terms on the road the triumph has a lot more suspension travel (especially the XE). From memory the XE is 250mm front and rear, and the BMW is 125fr/140rear which is a very different take on the scambler and off road pretensions (not that I'd want to take either off tarmac).
Both lovely bikes though

Should do, the 80hp version of the 1200 motor has plenty of beans with the right gearing, 90 should be plenty

Good friend ( yes, honestly ) has just put a deposit down on one of these ( matt/gloss green ? ).
So, keep your eye's out for his F800GS ( think he said 13,000 miles and in VERY good condition. Yellow 2008 model ) and Triumph 900cc Scrambler ( this will be £6,500 with Arrow exaust and standard etc etc..plus only 2,200 miles or so ) coming up for sale shortly

Can't argue with that, it's a real looker
Bloody tall though, this screen grab gives an idea of just how tall Triumph have had to make it to get half decent travel

You (well I) really would not want to off road that on anything more than a nice graded fire track.
It's a great looking bike (not sure about the gold forks though, black would look better?) but feck me it looks big and heavy with the weight very high up, in part due to the large amount of ground clearance.

Please paint the forks black when you get one, and whilst I think of it, also the gold piggy back reservoirs
