That will definitely be true with the Scrambler.

It's a fun bike and it looks cool but that's about it. It doesn't do anything well.

I thought about having one for running around town but even then it would get boring after a bit.

If you can find a used on at a price that makes it attractive, go for it. No way I'd take the new bike depreciation on one though.

No way would I get one new. Definitely pick up a used one with a great price.

This would be an around town and maybe go to some of the more adventurous DS areas I am afraid to take the big ole GS.

Really want to test ride one, but our local triumph dealership doesn't have one.

Why not get a 650 GS? Hell, go for the G650GS if you want a thumper (or, ahem, and older F650GS single because BMW can't keep anything simple )

I've thought about getting a F650GS, but I want something a little different. I really like the look of the scrambler.

Dude, you should try this 450. I mean, it doesnt need a key, fuel injected, tank in the back, it's easy.
