Triumph Thruxton R 1200 2016 - First Ride Review - The factory king of cool

[@peterwilliamson4296]

I love how experienced riders still buzz out like that!

[@TheDelecolle]

Awesome video bro. Just a quick correction: you can change engine modes while riding, just choose the mode you want and do a quick press on the clutch right after! I'm changing my Harley for one of those this week. Hell yeah.

[@TremourSphereUK]

Not normally a fan of the classics too much but i gotta say that thing is pretty mint! really detailed review too enjoyed it man

[@KrisMOTO23]

Thanks mate, its a top bike. Its a wolf in sheep's clothing really.

[@EarTipper]

I also have one on order, should have it in 2 to 3 weeks. Very much looking forward to it. I've never owned a bike, but have ridden maybe a dozen times. Got the matte black with fairing, and loads of other extras. God I can't wait!

[@KrisMOTO23]

Congrats mate, that matt black racer one is very nice. I saw that variant at motorcycle live last year was lovely! Awesome bike to have as your fist one too!

[@tomtraynor5384]

Incentives right now on a new 2017 leftover brings price down to $12,650--and a $2450 Track pack thrown in free. SO basically about $11,000-sh. Picking it up this week.

Got mine on order can't sleep the waitings killing me

[@KrisMOTO23]

I bet it is mate, wish I had one on order! Youll love it mate!

[@iannightingale3363]

just got mine on Friday, it's fecking unbelievable 😉😉

[@kingnorre5103]

Thanks for sharing this. I think you just sold me a Thruxton R 😉

[@mustangtony2933]

Man...that looked like fun!

[@petesaa]

Cracking video mate

[@KrisMOTO23]

cheers, glad you enjoyed!

[@petesaa]

No worries mate. Test rode one at the weekend and very tempted to place an order

[@monemelone664]

You made my day! 😍

[@Lar308]

Lovely bike - might get one to keep my T120 company sometime soon. Those A1 dealer stickers are a bit over the top though - would be right mad if the dealer stuck something like that on my tank.

[@KrisMOTO23]

Yes they are quite massive, they are only on the demo bikes though.

[@Lar308]

In the end I got a late 2015 Ducati Monster 821 stripe. Looks new. The Thruxton was lovely but I think it is too similar to my T120 and I wanted something completely different for my second bike.

[@patrickwinkler3802]

Nice video. Like your gloves, which brand are that?

[@KrisMOTO23]

thanks dude, they are the Tan Oakley SI gloves.

[@patrickwinkler3802]

TheFruitcake thanks m8...

[@david_lauw]

You don't have to stop to change modes.. Just roll off the throttle and pull the clutch in.

[@KrisMOTO23]

ah right cool, good to know that cheers mate.

[@crumpleforeskin]

Dammit!! I really want one. Did you buy?

[@KrisMOTO23]

crumpleforeskin if I had the money I'd have one but sadly no :(

[@crumpleforeskin]

snap. :-(

[@s.crambling3795]

So in retrospect, do you wish you bought the Thrux instead of the Scrambler?

[@KrisMOTO23]

No way. The Scrambler does wayyy more for me. The Thruxton is an exquisite bike dont get me wrong it just doesn't tick all my boxes. Where as the Scrambler does, I see it as the jack of all trades, master of none bike. If you know what I mean. Well untill the 1200 scrambler comes out anyway ;)

[@s.crambling3795]

Gooood. Remember your vid where you picked up the Scrambler and you were saying you wish you could have afforded the Thrux.

[@KrisMOTO23]

Well at the time, I did very much like the Thrux and if id had 12 grand might have been a consideration. but like I said I wish I could afford that xD

[@balsara675]

that colour

[@KrisMOTO23]

Its beautiful!

[@c.g.c2067]

Don't try an Aprilia Tuono v4...

[@raywite6665]

EE by gum lad, ye be a reet bobby dazzler untha bike.

[@jones9467]

man you are on the wrong side of the road.

[@rayb7414]

Mine will be here in 3 years once the novelty is gone and it will be within normal price range. At the moment here you can get an MT/FZ10, CBR1000RR, R1, Monster 1200 etc. etc. for the same or much less money. When one says "fast" on a bike with a 1200cc engine with less than 100bhp it is relative to the situation. These are lovely bikes but people are buyig them because they are a Triumph not because they are an all out super bike.
