Triumph is my absolute favorite brand of motorcycles. All the bikes are amazing and have such little details that make you want to keep touching and looking at them. The specific chapter of these bikes is the sound of the exhaust. To my ears it is a beautiful orchestral melody. Phenomenal! Thanks for the review, guys.

Just picked up a 2018 Thruxton R - in the handful of miles I've been able to do with lockdown and the weather I'm absolutely blown away by it, it just seems to do everything! Also, she's definitely a head turner - if you don't want people staring at you or comments at the fuel station maybe give this line up a miss... it makes you feel like a celebrity!

I really love my RS. I use it for touring and did a 4000 km trip to southern France. Riding position is very good with the high clip on’s, no stress on your hands. As said here the handling is quick and precise. Öhlins schocks and Showa fork is excellent. Engine is indeed powerful and with a nice tone. In Sweden where I live it’s popular to replace the silencers to an open system, but I don’t think that’s necessary. Thanks for a good review 😊👍🏻

I'm 6'3" and didn't find the Thruxton cramped at all. You feel a bit over the front and the engine has great low rev torque. It wasn't the RS, but the geometry is the same. Add the optional front cowling for $1k and it becomes even more sexy. Classic Clocks...I hate modes too. Just give me TC & ABS that I can choose on/off with a simple toggle switches. Nailing it around corners is really fun, at least on my test ride I was contemplating trading right then and there. Thanks for the awesome review as always! Cheers!!!

I owned the 2017 first gen 'R' version. Its beautiful, fast and quality top notch and sounds amazing. First gen had some issues, mostly on the brakes, the initial bite was sort of off, you had to do a double push on the lever to get the breaks to go hard. Traction control also mudded the experience for me. Sold it in 2019 because the position was way too committed and my right shoulder hurt a lot due to a previous accident, plus some other personal issues. But until now, I think it is the most refined bike I ever had. That RS looks is even more powerful, wish I was 10 years younger to be able to enjoy it.

The modes are still silly. I own a Thruxton. It boots up in Road mode and that's fine. The bike has traction control, so if the tire slips it will kill power to it even if it's in Sport mode. Once in a while, if I think about it, I'll switch to Sport mode in hot weather as it works well in that condition. As it gets cooler out, it tends to get herky jerky at lower throttle openings. Road mode is the Goldilocks fueling the bike would have w/out modes. It works well at most any temperature (though even it can jerk around when really cold). Sport mode isn't any more powerful. It just shortens the throw of the throttle. IOW, you don't have to twist the throttle as far to get the same power out of it. You can make the bike feel just as powerful in Road mode. You just have to twist the throttle a little farther ;) The good part of the electronics is you can turn the bloody TC and ABS off and slide it around until your heart's content!
@MrDarcy-OlMan3 жыл бұрын

@Brian-tb1zs3 жыл бұрын
Your explanation of the modes clears up some things, Sport mode decreasing the throttle twist for fuel volume would give a micro second of an edge, which we know can make a difference ! I prefer only memorizing one throttle fueling map. I now understand why some people like these modes. Having 4 bikes is another reason one map per bike works for me, plus my brain is aging ! People sharper than most with gadgets and programming differences probably do well with mides. Ride quick and safe ! 👍
@saddle8bag3 жыл бұрын
@@Brian-tb1zs Back when bikes had throttle cable actuators, people put little cams on them so as they turned them, instead of bringing on the power linearly with twist, it ramped up quicker as the cable was pulled over the cam lobe. Riding quick is about being smooth. I usually don't find abrupt "sport" fueling maps very smooth.

Brill review guys as per usual. Great looking machine and oozing quality. I understand why it's water cooled but not keen on the radiator aesthetics. Definitely too small for you guys.

Love the look of this bike but my only complaint would be that they do look slightly small......i currently ride a suzuki gsx 1400 which is a big bike,was considering buying one of these but still unsure....could do with a fatter tank and rear tyre i reckon.

Awesome review! nice to have some reference for us bigger guys, hard to tell the size of a bike when most reviewers seem to be under 6 ft
