We are seeing plenty of custom Scramblers at the moment from all over the globe and long may it continue. You may be aware that Triumph have a new Twin in the works, how that bike will look we will have to wait and see, but one question I have is; ‘will the Scrambler continue’. If not, then Im sure Scrambler, as well as the other models in the ‘Classic‘ range will increase in desirability and probably value, so if you have been putting of buying a Triumph, now might be the time to buy.
Paolo purchased the Triumph Scrambler back in 2011, a bike which he is very much in love with. The Scrambler is also Paolo first motorcycle. A bike which is a great choice for the new rider to. After about two years and a few kilometers riding around Verona the inevitable happened and Paolo was bitten by the modifying bug and there is really only one cure. It was in February of 2014, when with some advice from Michele a colleague of Paolo, it was decided what was to be done to the Scrambler.
The pair went to FabbrisMoto to make a start. The guys fitted the JVB rear mudguard with integrated LED tail light and a LSL numberplate bracket. Other LSL goodies include Mirrors, Front Mudguard, Bars & Levers, wheels, foot pegs as well as whole lot of other LSL goodies. Other details include the super popular Zard 2>1 Exhaust, Motogadget Tiny Speedo and Ohlins inverted forks and and rear piggyback shocks. Stopping power is spilled by Bembo callipers and Wave Discs. The bike sits on the Conti TK80 Twinduros, a tyre we see plenty of here on Bonnefication. The final touch was the a super cool paint scheme with highlights of yellow to match the Ohlins suspension.
For me the FabbrisMoto ‘P-860 SW33TS’ is reminiscent of the Raise the Dust Scrambler we featured a few years ago, which is no surprise as they share many of the same LSL and Ohlins parts. Though there are differences, but they do both follow a similar and well established blueprint, a blueprint that was also used on the SCR900 Competizione by Gallimoto. This is no criticism of either bike, using aftermarket parts is the bread and butter of the Custom and Modified Triumph scene and something we are more than will to promote here at Bonnefication. But because this Scrambler uses a ‘blueprint‘, there is a chance, though slight, that Paolo may meet another Scrambler owner with a very similar Bike, but at least they will have plenty to talk about. Overall, a fantastic looking bike and a bike to be proud of.
