I was very impressed with MCN's video of the
Triumph Speed 400 but for those Scottish B roads and some country
rambles, the
Triumph Scrambler 400 X
would probably be a better choice. I recently enjoyed the opportunity of
sitting on the Scrambler at Two Wheels in Edinburgh, Scotland and the
fit and finish were excellent.
You can build your own using the
Triumph Scrambler 400 X Configuration
link. NOTE: As of 18th October 2023, all the accessories prices
have still to be announced but it is worth a routine check on the link.
The first full reviews on this motorcycle and the
Technical Specifications and Features look
very promising with the bike weighing in at 179Kg wet. The bike has traction
control which is a nice feature for those wet downpours in Scotland. The reviews
always show some negatives and the main ones for the Scrambler are the
lack of brake and clutch lever adjustments with the brakes requiring a
lot more pressure on the brake lever to pull her up.
Triumph have a first class
Accessories List for the Scrambler 400 X.

Pannier Rail & Bag
The pannier kit appears very impressive. I like the look of the bag and it
sports a nice handle. Perhaps there is also a shoulder strap for it? -
