The stunning Triumph Thruxton RS Chrome Edition | Initial thoughts & Exhaust Sound

[@maniaq112]

I bought the green/silver Thruxton rs last year, best bike i've ever owned.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

What a beautiful spec! They're very special bikes. It's a shame they're no longer in production.

[@maniaq112]

@@TheBritishMotorbiker It is indeed very pity, the green with the gold pinstripe they made as a last run is exquisite 😍

[@FunWithAJ]

A couple corrections: chrome edition comes with a chrome triple as well, front are showa and back are ohlins. Also the bike you're loaned has heated gripes equipped which are some of the best I've ever used.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thanks so much for the info! I have a habit of seeing golden forks and immediately thinking they are Öhlins. The heated grips have been a great help. Oh, the triple as in the clamp for the forks?

[@FunWithAJ]

@TheBritishMotorbiker yes the triple clamp on the tip of the forks by the stem nut. It's Chrome on the chrome version and blasted on the rest of the 22-24 rs

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Ah good to know! Thanks so much for this 🙂

[@julieel-bacha6376]

I’m so proud of how you’ve put this one together. Well done you! 😘

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thank you 🙏

[@maydrone]

As a Thruxton R owner, they do have a sport mode as well as the road and rain modes too 👍🏻

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thank you for letting me know 🙂

Beautiful bike, and great video. Very nicely filmed and presented! Your best video yet 👌🏻

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thank you very much, buddy! I really enjoyed working on this one.

[@mrbear143]

Been obsessed with this bike for years! I always try to catch as many videos made about it that I can. So Thx! The chrome edition is fantastic looking- definitely bummed Triumph is discontinuing the Thruxton.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

It is honestly such a beautiful machine, and I cannot fathom why they are getting rid of it. I'm glad you like the video, and that I could be of help with showing the bike off in all its glory. I will work on uploading a riding POV soon.

[@thebonniebiker]

Great video Conor, captured the beauty of the thruxton perfectly.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thanks so much, buddy!

[@av8erdavid143]

An absolutely stunning motorcycle, and masterfully presented. Thank you for another amazing video!

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thank you for the continued support and kind words :)

[@daviecoats2080]

I have a Thruxton TFC it’s a beautiful bike, the Chrome edition is stunning.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Beautiful is the word! Cherish that bike, dude :)

[@spiffybiker]

Fantastic video Connor, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this stunning bike. Also, a shout out to the noisy 125cc in the background. Them Newland corner hooligans 😂

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

That's very kind of you to say! I have some more videos planned :) Ha, we were all there once, but I don't miss the single cylinder sound.

[@v4forlife]

Lovely. So the modes are throttle responsiveness. Sport being the sharpest, down to rain which is a much easier throttle. I found it good for a pillion as it takes away the snatchiness. Another good mod is a throttle spacer which takes away the pointless free play. I do miss mine.

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Thank you for this. I've been playing around with them and there is a noticeable difference in the throttle response. Is that all it does, or does it limit the total power that is used as well? Is that even possible on bikes?

[@bernhardkoenigs2415]

Beautiful bike

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

It's a special one!

[@BanuAF]

I prefer the matte series

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Is that a specific run they did, or are you referring to the standard specs? 🙂

[@iidryas]

🔥😎🔥

[@MrWebon]

What helmet are you using here

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

It's a Shoei Glamster in gloss black. They're a great helmet.

[@TIMHARTTT]

I really can’t decide which on is sexier this shiny metal or the 2017 silver one, how many mpg do you get from it??

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps, if the seat cowl on the Chrome Edition was also chrome, rather than black, it would be a closer comparison. In my opinion, anyone can have a silver tank, but chrome is another level of sophistication! As for the MPG, I haven't actually looked at it once since receiving the bike. I will take a look when I'm next out and let you know :)

[@user-mj3vn7yl9s]

beautiful bike but the first thing I would do is paint over that "Thruxton" logo. Font is crap!

[@TheBritishMotorbiker]

Would you replace it with another font? The bike is so recognisable, I don't even think the writing is necessary.

[@user-mj3vn7yl9s]

@@TheBritishMotorbiker i would just paint over it tbh. no need to even show it. distracts from the rest of the beauty of this masterpiece.
