I purchased a Standard Thruxton 1200 a few years ago, to say it is fabulous is simply not enough. 57 years of riding I have seen the evolution of bikes from the 60s to present, never has there been a bike like this.

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 😊👍🏻

Great unbiased revue. I bought a Thruxton RS in 2021 and coming from riding sport bikes for the last 20 years, I hated it at first. It is now growing on me. At 6ft 2" I feel a little large for the bike, but still very comfortable.

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.

A modern performing retro indeed. Beautiful looking. I do love the long narrow tank and the strip of chrome along the middle of it. I briefly owned a Street Cup last year. Some call it a baby thruxton. Really it’s a Street twin made to look Café racer like with its set up. Clip on bars, cowl seat etc. It was tremendous fun however this thrux is a different and more serious proposition.

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!

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 ! 👍
@saddle8bag

@@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.

I do like the cafe racer sport look of the thruxton. I have bar ends and the rear seat cowl on my t100, so I know that look. But those inverted forks and clip on bars, it truly gives it the cafe racer style. And yes, there are times when a 1200 would be sweet. But for what I paid for mine years ago I'll settle. It does look great though. Thanks guys.

Yeah those 17s on the front make it more cornerable. Looks a little taller than the t120. More ground clearance. Does look to be plenty of motorcycle for most people. Yeah, you've mentioned that u preferred the silver fork legs over the gold. Back on another bike. Maybe the Thruxton 900? Not sure. The short clipons don't thrill me. But unless you're going to do lots of sharp steering, I guess they're okay for highway and average town riding. Looks hot though. Thanks guys.

Great review...comparing this one to speed twin, and forgetting about the equipment differences (Speed twin == Thruxton "sansR" even)... what would you pick for day to day commuting and ocasional 300 miles trips? Is this bike too forward leaning, or confortable enough not to suffer with it?
@MrDarcy-OlMan
@MrDarcy-OlMan 3 жыл бұрын
That’s a hard one! Probably the Speed Twin for the less leaning forward riding position 👍🏼

Except for one significant blemish, the Thruxton is functionality and aesthetically well done. The blemish is the tank’s cheap pinch-weld. Triumph hid the exposed pinch-weld in the Rocket 3 and T120 Scramblers, should have done the same for the “classic” Thruxton.

I just bought a speed twin! Same engine. 2nd version comes up with enhancement compared the first generation. It would be superb if you could do a review on that one too and… maybe… 😅 makes a comparison between both models! I nearly went for the thruxton rs but given roads restriction and closeness between both motorcycles: I went to the cheapest(which remains really premium compared to the competition). Waiting for your answer if you had time to read this post! See you soon ! M

@@MrDarcy-OlMan there are some great rides but compared to rural England they are few. Most of the roads here outside the cities are either straight and very long, too short on account of there not bring many civilised areas outside the towns and cites or dirt tracks. England has so many B roads to choose from. On the flip side though the weather here is perfect for motorcycling.

Another great review. I love the look of the bike but have to agree with Darcy that the gold forks don't look quite right to me and would prefer silver. A 60's/70's style half fairing like on the Mash TT40 Cafe Racer, would look stunning!

Love the review of the bike ajd love your channel ! As an American I appreciate the variety of styles of bikes you review....from the British classics to big cruisers to Africa Twins . I think Americans enjoy a variety of bikes. I look forward to when you review the new Rebel 1100. I'd also like to see you review some of the ktm nakeds and Japanese nakeds. One of these days gonna buy one of your shirts too.... Thanks!!
