Both are really good-looking bikes; while the Scrambler looks ready for action, the Street Twin looks purposefully laid back.

All digital, but no gear indicator.

With quick power delivery, the Scrambler’s motor is ever ready to... scramble!

MT60 tyres have good road grip.

Compact switchgear looks modern.

Brakes are super responsive.

DRL ring adds modern feel.

Scrambler’s tail-light looks marvelous.

Throttle is ride-by-wire.

Seat is supremely comfortable.

Parallel-twin exhaust note is sinful.

The 900cc parallel-twin’s soothing nature is this bike’s real highlight.

Front tyre is a bias-ply design.

Alloy bracket for headlamp looks great.

Analogue speedo, but no tacho.
