I bought a Thruxton R!

[@pierremalherbe8268]

You can change riding modes while riding. Press the mode button. Watch the next mode coming up flash in the dial. Now roll of the throttle and pull the clutch in. Mode now changed while still going. I have the 2017 THRUXTON R. I just love my bike. The perfect bike to enjoy.

[@motohomeless9168]

Thanks! Someone else said the same thing!

[@shannon2992]

Thanks Pierre!! I didn't know that. I'll be using that little technique for sure.👌🏻

[@paulbiggs9279]

I own a 2018 R, which I bought new, love it, but it's an expensive hobby, just had the 40k service done through Triumph, over a £1,000... You can also change mode on the hop, as long as you engage the clutch, you don't need to be stationary. Paul UK

[@motohomeless9168]

Yes, thank you!

[@bonwana2275]

Gorgeous! I plan to buy a Triumph next year so I am watching alot of youtube to help me decide between 4 stunning models. Thruxton, Bonneville, Speed Twin and Speedmaster. Kudos to Triumph for having so many awesome models to choose from!! Well done on your video. 9:55 should be done by all reviewers. Great angle.

[@motohomeless9168]

Thank you! Don’t forget about the scrambler! That is a great looking bike as well. I think triumph has knocked the modern classic line out of the park. If I could, I would have one of each. Hopefully I helped with your decision. No matter what you choose, you will be happy.

[@hektoerdonovan2121]

Congrats on the purchase! I bought a '22 Thruxton RS a few months before you. The biggest thing to explain to lots of people is that the seat is extremely well designed and not near as uncomfortable as people think! There is so much room to slide forward in standard mode or back for carving up some corners. If you haven't looked into it, look at the Ducati Throttle Spacers and perhaps swapping the rear sprocket for one from a Speed Twin.

[@motohomeless9168]

Awesome! I will have to look into that. I’m still liking the bike the way it is. I think Triumph did great with the bike.

[@RicepickingGod]

I also 2020 thrux RS. Are you getting the cock pit fair? I’m debating on w heater I should

[@hektoerdonovan2121]

@@RicepickingGod I bought the fairing kit for it, but it took too long to get the matching color so I bought gloss black and I am painting all of it to a different color. Not sure about your heater comment or if that's spell check getting you. If it's mufflers you refer to, I bought Termignoni and love them. There are lots of good options for the Thruxton. I have not heard any that sounded bad. Consider the decat as well.

[@hektoerdonovan2121]

@@motohomeless9168 I see you have the Tamarit seat by the way. Did you get the original? Any comparison, etc?

[@beertenant]

@@hektoerdonovan2121 I have the original, but have never used it. The original is more comfortable, but I like the way the other seat looks

[@stratolestele7611]

I love those small fairings/cowls. It would be awesome if there was one that would work with more upright clip ons. I've got a z900rs café, so what I add to the garage will probably be something like the RE Interceptor. Regardless of what I buy, it will be a vertical twin. So either a used Triumph, or a new/newer Royal Enfield. Your bike, oh man, if I were 20 years younger! Beautiful!

[@3692richardb]

Hi - I have a 2017 Thruxton R with the track racer pack (which includes the dolphin fairing). I found the drop clip ons a bit tiresome on long rides so I bought a pair of standard Thruxton R clip-on from e-bay on the off-chance that they'd fit - took about an hour to swap them (really simple job) and they look and work perfectly, no fouling of the fairing at all. Happy to send photos if you like :). I agree with the review btw, it's a great bike, definitely a keeper.

[@motohomeless9168]

Thanks you!!

[@1234567marks]

Great choice of bike sir, I have owned mine for 3 years, never missed a beat, I have more powerful bikes in my garage, Fireblade etc, but the Thruxton tends to be ridden most often, and it’s no slouch due to the torque it produces , seriously good looking machine 👍

[@motohomeless9168]

Thank you! It is fantastic!

[@buddhastaxi666]

What torque?

[@stefanlageambecker6077]

I am waiting for my thruxton rs now .

[@motohomeless9168]

Awesome! You will love it

[@leekerr6727]

I’ve read some say this 2018 is prettiest year model. Thinking about getting one 🤔

[@motohomeless9168]

They only did the Matte black in 2018. It was a limited color. Dealers had to order so many Thruxton r’s to get a matte black one. I still love it

[@josephjester4917]

Got a 2022 Triumph Speedmaster, and I've found that you can change throttle ride modes while moving if you engage the clutch.

[@motohomeless9168]

Yes! Someone else commented that. I have found it works for me as well

[@buddhastaxi666]

I bought a custom 1200 Thruxton after riding 200 hp Kawasaki's for 17 years. It took me ages to adspt. I ride the bike literally all the time now, despite slahging it off at first. I deleted my earlier comments as they were too emotional and not favtual enough. I was comparing a 200kmh 1200 cafe racer with a 1500 cc 300 kmh 200 hp sports tourer while riding on the same open roads. My comments were unfair . I ride the little green monster thousands of miles a month.

[@motohomeless9168]

I’m glad you have come to enjoy it!

[@buddhastaxi666]

@@motohomeless9168Where I live the roads are flat straight and disappear into the horizon. On zx14's you just reel in the horizon while sitting in some comfort, though still sporty, in a safe calm place while doing autobahn velocity on secondary bitumen roads. I have ridden the Thruxton 10,000 kms in 9 months. However when twisty is found I am holding ny speed and leaning further than other machines i have had. The Triumph 1200 attracts positive attention from people from all walks of life, more than any brand? The design is one of the best ever, equal to a 900 SS Ducati from the 70's.

[@ScrapYardDog64]

Congratulations form the UK! I have the same bike (Colour) as you, I've owned it for 5 years and use it every dry day to commute to work and weekend blasts around the countryside. Still loving it mate. burbles pops and bangs with my xpipe fitted, whats not to like about that! :D

Absolutely! They are fantastic bikes!

[@JohnCunningham-sy5ug]

Beautiful bike .i own a 2011 have brit custom silencers its hard to tell on video but I think they have a little more bark than the Vance&Hines??

[@motohomeless9168]

I’ve never heard other brands on a thruxton. I do like the sound of the Vance and Hines

[@juanduque3224]

In my opinion too

[@joshspartan1969]

Absolutely love the way this bike looks. I wish the RS models came in the matte black. Do you know what kind of seat was added? I wasn’t a fan of the cowls but they are starting to grow on me.

[@motohomeless9168]

It is a Tamarit seat

[@TriumphLover]

My 2022 Ton Up RS will change mode motion. Try the clutch or getting off the throttle. I'm not sure really if the 2018 will do it. Beautiful bike dude!

[@motohomeless9168]

I’ll have to try that. Thanks!

[@motohomeless9168]

So, I tried what you said today. It won’t change mode on decel, but pulling the clutch in does work for changing the mode when riding. Thanks!

[@TriumphLover]

@@motohomeless9168 cool man!

[@hektoerdonovan2121]

The riding mode affects throttle position to throttle angle, so you must be at idle and no throttle demand for it to switch. Everywhere else the mapping varies between maps. The modes also affect fueling and timing; that is why it won't do it on decel either.

[@Rakeshroy775]

I’m not sure what you are saying
