Maybe the question is as broad as what is a dual purpose bike or what is an on/off-road.  Is the term Scrambler only limited to a few manufactures like Triumph? Can a modern enduro or MX bike be seen as a scrambler?

Wikipedia not too much help:
The main characteristics of a scrambler were high mounted exhaust pipes (for crossing streams or muddy roads), wider handlebars with a crossbar (for added strength) and all-terrain tires. Everything that wasn't strictly necessary was stripped down to lower the weight of the motorcycle.
