Maybe I'm missing it, but I'm having a hard time imagining that Scrambler selling many bikes.

Those that actually want some unpaved road or actually-off-road performance are going to look elsewhere; those who don't but only want to pretend it, to have a bike that sort of looks like it, I find it hard to imagine they'd be impressed by this past possibly a couple seconds of nostalgia.

To me it looks just old and not in a good way, the sort of old that there's a real good reason that we've moved way past it. Since the bike also won't have much performance, while again perhaps I'm missing it, I just see a dud here.

Like the Kawasaki W650 but even moreso.

I've heard those Scramblers are spendy too! I'd be curious to see some hard number on how many get moved out of the dealer.

At least they upgraded the brakes,I"d bet the original drum setup would take some getting used to in today"s traffic

Ultimate 'retro' look. That'll sell to the right peeps. And that's it's target audience.

The Slippery Sam looks pretty good for a standard.
