Thank you! Look at those silly turn signals though. 😂

I am in California. I just bought (03-04-23) the competition green and silver ice model. I will be keeping in touch and thanks for sharing your experience with this stunning motorcycle.

Congrats! Competition Green is also a very beautiful color on this amazing bike. 😍

Bike looks great! The chrome tank is sweet. The tail cowl just needs something, to me. It needs some silver or something to tie in with the rest of the awesome bike.
@CaptainRevs Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yeah OR I was thinking of blacking out the tank strap to tie it into the black. We'll see.

@Robert Alpizar did you get the anti-vibration mount? I got that and the wireless module. Works pretty good 👍

@@greggo951 sorry can’t give you specifics, the original wasn’t on there very tight. So I hand tightened and then gave it about have a turn with a wrench so it’s tight but not too tight. Hope that helps!

I have a 2016 Thruxton R but the only change I (well the previous owner) made to it was to add that little clear fly screen - a Triumph high quality part. Really suits the bike. I prefer bikes to be stock. Also not a fan of everything (engine casing / wheels) being blacked out on the new RS models. A Thruxton is all about bling so if you have got it flaunt it.
@CaptainRevs Жыл бұрын
I had a 2016 when it first came out… it was my first “new” bike. I immediately fell in love with it when the pictures were released and obsessed over them for months until it finally arrived. In person it was even more gorgeous than I imagined… I guess what I’m saying is I appreciate both versions of the bike and they are very different looks but just a matter of preference as I’m sure some would hate having my chrome tank. 🤷🏻♂️ No matter which version you have, it’s the same silly grin on our faces when we open up the throttle. 🤘🏻⚡️🏍️💨

Thanks for the review. Just a few questions on the chrome tank. Is it hard to see when the sun hits it just right? Do you have to be extra careful with scratches or fingerprints? Do you regret getting the chrome for either of these reasons or are you happy with having the chrome option.
@CaptainRevs8 ай бұрын
No regrets. No issues with glare. Maybe be more careful with scratches, fingerprint wipe off. If it wasn’t for the Chrome Edition, I wouldn’t have bought another Thruxton. 🤘🏻⚡️

How is the comfort on these? Very much considering to buy one (trading in my BMW r1250r) but kinda worried about comfort/seating position. No way to testride one, so a bit annoying.
@CaptainRevs Жыл бұрын
Honestly, the comfort for long distance isn't great... I did 123 miles and it was unbearable if you take some breaks/make stops. But this is definitely not a touring bike... check out my video on the "500 Mile Update", I talk about that... it's definitely a great and comfortable bike for cruising around town.

Lovely bike, but too heavy. P.S. Triumph stole the name Thruxton from Velocette.
@CaptainRevs Жыл бұрын
Thanks. Too heavy for what? Thruxton is also a village in England and a Racetrack in Hampshire. Every one stole something from someone. 🤷♂
