She makes some good points. I'll also agree the Thruxton is a hoot to ride.
Nice to hear. Lovely review enjoyed her perspective and analysis. As some of you know I’m partial to the Thruxton line so my preference is a bit biased. Not looking at going to a larger engine from the 900, but I’m always interested in the 1200 for reference. It mentioned a horsepower over a 100 which is a significant jump over my 900 model of around 69 HP. I’ve not really encountered a need for more horsepower and that might be due to my age. LoL. Still I might look into bumping up the HP when it’s time to rebuild the top end. Excellent and fun review of two fabulous Triumph models. It is indeed a bit sad the Thruxton is being discontinued.
I wouldn’t doubt the R model will be reinvented before long , followed by a wholesale upgrade in the Bonnevilles. Lighter , faster , tricker but still very retro .
You are likely right. LoL.
Triumph is on their best game. Be fun to see what’s next.
If you ever head north toward DFW you are welcome to take my Thruxton R for a spin, I'll even let you try to keep up with me on my Speed Triple. Of course you would have to select SPORT mode and should have a Sena headset just in case.....
LoL. Thanks for the invite! I’ll put the Sena headset on my shopping list. LoL.
