RE: Harley Scrambler.
I really like the Triumph Scrambler. I don't think it has been selling really well. A couple of months ago ebay was filled with dealers trying to get rid of their 06 scramblers. I get bidding $5000 for them and I won a couple but it was under the reserve price. Oh well I guess I wasn't meant to have one.

ORIGINAL: pococj
I once had a 1967 Norton P-11 Scrambler. Thing had a rear sprocket dang near as big as the rim. It was a freakin' beast! Might've topped out at 80 mph with the gearing, but it did that 0 to 80 in about 3.267 milliseconds!
Kidding aside, when I could keep it running without shaking the electrics to death, it was a blast. We'd take it out the some dunes near Va Beach where a buncha guys rode their li'l "sissy" 2 stroke dirt bikes. Got some strange looks when we unloaded the beast. I'd let some of the dirt guys take it for a spin and they'd roll back in with the biggest ol' grin on their faces.
It wouldn't have beat any of the hot 2 strokes "real" dirt bikes 'cause it was way heavy, and almost impossible to handle. But it just flat out was a blast to try and ride. That 750's low end grunt would like to rip your arms off if it got hooked up good.
