Hello, first time poster here looking to learn as much as I can about the modern Morini bikes. I have been smitten for some time with the 1200 Scrambler and am actively searching for one to purchase now. Admittedly I am a bit ignorant of some of the details of the bike but hopefully there are some learned folks here that can fill in a few blanks for me.

I'm a bit of a global vagrant, born in the US, spent half my life wandering the globe with stints in Italy, England, France and I am currently in Germany. I guess my first question would be towards finding out the best way to track down a new or next to new Scrambler and if there are any particular issues I should be concerned about. I'd also like to know about baggage options on the Scrambler as I will eventually be taking it on a trip or two. This will be a second bike for me as I currently have a Triumph Thunderbird that I think will be complimented nicely by a Scrambler.

I'm also curious to know if there are any taller riders here that have a Scrambler (I suppose all the 1200 MMs are similar size wise) as I am rather tall and was wondering about potential issues that I might have to address. These bikes aren't exactly in convenient locations to study these issues in person.

Hopefully this list isn't too long (and it's in the right forum) I have a huge number of questions and tried to keep them down to few as possible to start.... I probably failed at that though :)

Thanks in advance.
