Triumph Motorcycles has launched two limited-edition Scramblers in India the Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen and the Street Scrambler 900 Sandstorm. The two bikes are priced at ₹13.75 lakh and ₹ 9.65 lakh, respectively, and are limited to just 25 units each in India.
Based on the Scrambler 1200 XE, the Scrambler 1200 Steve McQueen pays tribute to the legendary movie star and motorcyclist, and is inspired by the competition-spec Triumph TR6 that McQueen used in a jump sequence in the 1963 movie,
The Great Escape.
The bike gets unique design touches such as a new competition green paint, hand-painted gold lining, gold heritage Triumph logos, brushed foil knee pads, a brushed aluminium Monza-style fuel cap, a brushed steel tank strap along with unique Steve McQueen branding. The bike also gets a radiator guard and crash protection around the engine as standard.

70 grey whales have washed up on the beaches and coasts of Mexico, the US and Canada this year (file photo).
The number of dead whales washing ashore in the San Francisco Bay Area this spring continues to climb, with another massive grey whale seen rolling in the surf at Pacifica State Beach on Friday afternoon (local time). The latest, a 47-foot-long adult male, is the 10th grey whose carcass has ended up on Bay Area shores. A pygmy sperm whale and a fin whale also have been found fatally beached. A cause of death has not been determined, and a necropsy was not performed, although tissue samples of the whale were collected for further study by the California Academy of Sciences. The carcass will be towed to sea.
