Scrambled R

I really loved that Touratech F800R Scrambler and the Moto Morini scramblers (pictured) really get my heart rate up. My original '07 RR didn't scream for a conversion, but the Classic with its spoke wheels and rally stripe kinda beg for it. The extra traction on camping trips and Upper Michigan weekends would be a bonus. Anyone tried TKC80s on their RR yet?

I believe your gonna find that the rim sizes don't lend themselves to knobby tires. You may have to buy new wheels/brakes/whatever to really do this right.

TKC80s come in our shoe size now. They're not cheap - north of $200 for a rear.

Oh great, now I want an R1200R scrambler.
Isn't that a lot closer to what Steve McQueen jumped the fence with in The Great Escape, not a Triumph?
