Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha FZ-8N 2011

But as in life, you can't demonise the "approximate 3/4 litre" concept of the FZ-8 by quickly leafing through the data sheets. That would be a shame, because the 8 has given us a lot of pleasure in the 3,200 kilometres we have covered so far. Contrary to the facts, the 800 is probably the best choice for the average ambitious rider.

Stable and stable

chassis relatively universal

large variety of accessories

acceptable performance

Footrest detent insert sets too early and brings unsteadiness into the chassis - as well as scraping on the ground

ugly exhaust

a bit cumbersome

Triumph Street Scrambler 2018

Just like its sister Street Twin, the Street Scrambler also receives decisive updates to the engine, chassis, brakes and ergonomics. And even though the greatly increased power has a positive effect, the bulbous torque is almost more pleasing. The chassis is of a very high quality, offering a lot of comfort and stability. A small drawback of the Street Scrambler are the footrests that touch down early. On the other hand, the look is perfect. If you love scramblers, you will like the side-mounted exhaust system, the wide fork and the overall higher-quality finish.

Engine with plenty of torque in the middle

comfortable chassis

good brakes

excellent ergonomics

up-to-date electronic features

smooth clutch

cool scrambler look

Brake needs manual force

footrests drag early

instruments with small digital display
