Has anyone had a good look at the "Scrambler" in MI:3? Looks more like a scrambled Bonnie Black (knobbies, cross over high pipes, gaiters, silver tank and a solo seat/rack.)

I thought it was a pretty tough looking bike. Any Bonnie owners out there who were thinking of making a scrambler out of their Bonnie/T100?MI:3 Scrambler

yeah it's just a modified bonnie black. IMHO looks much better than a real scramber. Sorry scrambler dudes.

I want to do something similar when I get my bonnie. I'm going to leave the pipes where they are and ditch the knobby tires. I think it looks tuff and classic. You are correct it is a bonnie black with some scrambler parts. Last months robb report for motorcycles had some good pics.

Interestingly, the bike in Robb Report is sporting side covers that say "Scrambler 900".
But I think your right, it's probably just a 790cc.

If the Scrambler is a retro looking bike, which it is, then the factory's stock red/white or blue/white tank paint schemes look retro as well, which the MI3 version does not. Therefore, I don't think the MI3 bike looks better.
