This feature for all those among you loving modern classic bikes dressed for track spins, canyon carving and even road day trips. A bike for a great evasion, reminiscent of the Steve McQueen’s iconic Triumph TR6 Trophy in the 1963 film The Great Escape. British Customs decided to buy a stock 2012 Triumph Scrambler and see where it took them. As a matter of facts, in several directions, the bike having been customized at least 3 times for some paved and unpaved adventures, then for pure dirt track racing (yes, it was raced during the last Hell On Wheels “Hot August Nights”) and now the version seen here combining several influences, both dirt and street tracking, for hard competition on tough terrain or recreational fun on the road.
The modern factory Scrambler reflects the look of the 1960’s Triumph twins and keeps the classic, rebellious style that so many riders love. An excellent donor bike to prepare this machine in the spirit of carefree times when all you needed was a bike and somewhere to ride. The British Customs Dirt Bike was ridden 100 miles to the recent Sixth Annual Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, CA where it received 2 industry awards. It’s remarkable when you know that all the British Customs parts are bolt-on and can be installed with basic tools and minimal experience, helping riders achieve their vision for what their bike should be. For those tempted by such modern classic Triumph style, below is the parts list. British Customs.

Would like to see weight listed, looks like a fun dual purpose bike!
Well done. Good looking.
Nice.
1 bike for 2 purposes. Like that.
One bike for no purpose. Take a reasonable road bike and turn it into a useless dirt bike.
Looks like heaps of fun. Who wouldn’t want to ride that…
very nice
Just the tool for when your local road crew seals the road surface with a fine layer of rock-chips.
(they give ya a day or two to “play” on it before it gets sweep off…… plus ya get to watching brake-in-bikers tiptoe over that stuff like it was ice)
-nicker-
Would be much more versatile then most cruisers; only dislike is the 270 degree crank
I like the modern Bonnies allot.
But triumph need to replace the tank with one that does not have outside seams. It cheapens the package.
So do the plastic guards.
They should at least offer options on the guards.
And really the tank needs to be tidied up ! !
Anybody out there ? just nod if you can hear me………………………………………………………………………….
this is what we did back in the 70’s , they sucked in the woods / sand , knobby’s on the street are not the best way to go & Any kind of off road bike NEEDS a MONO SHOCK suspention . Butt it looks kool , to some …………………………………………
If this is the answer… what was the question?
Does there always need to be a question ?…………………………………………………….

No I doubt it ……………………..
Build a flat tracker though, and they will flatten your front lawn trying to get one
