Triumph introduces throw-back Scambler
In 1965 Honda introduced the 305 Scrambler CL77. The engine was a 305cc 4-sroke OHC, parallel twin with a 4 speed transmission. The CL77 was Honda's very first dual purpose motorcycle. Built for both the street and trail, this bike had many special features.
Fast forward, Triumph introduces the 2006 Scrambler 900 that could pass as its grandparent unless you look closely.
Featuring an 865cc air-cooled engine, this bike is an example of the popularity of the cafe racer style motorcycle and its return to the production line. The recent sale of vintage cafes from Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Triumph to collectors and beginner bike owners has created a new market for this type of motorcycle.
Honda's press room has been buzzing with a new CB looming for 2007. Look out big cruisers and fast crotchies. The roads may again be occupied by the bike style that started the motorcycle craze for the mass public.
