Seen the Scrambler Nighthawk yet?

Don't know if this is a new official bike or a one-off but it's a really nice version of the Scrambler. Can't post a pic here but it's at:

Worth a look.

Interesting idea!
Suede seat,
new large tank [tho no greater capacity ] so fuel pump can fit under the tank
I believe original CV carbs - this combo is going to be on many bikes until April.
plastic badges
What appear to be Ohlins shocks
Arrow 2 into 1 pipe.
black rims, headlight & grill, instrument cluster

Nice off the showroom matt black bike.
Still need to get rid of the plastic chrome
Pity they didn't bring out a solo seat version,
as the OE seat is a plank even with suede.

The only thing I prefer to your bike Rhodie, is the 2 into 1 exhaust (& that's only if it offers the same hp as the TB unit). I think the tank's ugly, & the fact that it's got no greater fuel capacity makes that even worse. & that tan seat (!) is hideous! It totaly ruins the bike's looks.
So your bike is still the (good) sh*t, in my book Rhodie. This one's just a try-hard pretender. & it needs to try a lot harder to impress me.

My dealer had mentioned about a 2-in-1 from Arrow system coming out... that must be it..
Not quite sold on the 2-in-1 look yet... althouhg I have a 3-in-1 on my S3 and love it...
Like the color scheme, but do not care much for the suede seat..

& so say all of us!
Your seat would go a long way to making that other thing look acceptable.
