KIWI RIDER 02 2019 VOL.2 | Page 97

Due to the favourable NZ dollar to GBP at the moment, pricing is currently better than expected t’s always a great start to the week when you stumble upon a heap of shiny new metal destined for New Zealand dealerships, and that was the case for us earlier this month when we spotted the brand new Triumph Scrambler 1200 being prepared for shipment around the country from Triumph Motorcycles NZ HQ. The new king of the scrambler class isn’t the only new Triumph to have made its way to our shores finally, though. The all-new Speed Twin has also made landfall and is also now available for test rides at your local dealership. Due to the favourable NZ dollar to GBP at the moment, pricing is currently better than expected with the top of the range Scrambler 1200, the XE, priced from $24,490 while the Speed Twin enters the market at a sharp $21,990. Both bikes will shortly be officially launched to the New Zealand motoring media, and Kiwi Rider will be there to give you first impressions of how the two new Triumphs handle our unique environment.
