My first thought when i saw they were making this bike was why a scrambler with a 900 engine? Or 790 either. I mean, if this thing is supposed to be off road ready to any extent they should built a whole new engine and be much smaller. Back in the day most scramblers were small 350cc or such. IMO this "scrambler" is a scrambler in name only. It may have more dirt ready tires, but thats where anything remotely dirt-ready ends. So i would tend to agree with him i guess, not having read the review but assuming this is the jist of it.
Thats why i have no interest in a bike like this. Anything that is made to look as tho it has a perticular function it's geared towards yet really isn't strikes me as foolish. It's like having a car with airplane wings that doesn't really fly. :-D If you simply like the styling i suppose thats reason enough, tho i would suggest dumping the tires and getting full on street tires which is all the bike is really good for. It's just a bonnie made to look like something it isn't. If i had to take a guess i'd say this bike won't be around too long. I just don't think it will sell near enough to keep it in the lineup.
