Thruxton R: Owner/Rider opinions, please.

[Ulvetanna_imp]

I’ve got this. Having owned what was the first ThruxR in NJ for 2 1/2 years now, I can weigh in.

Simply, It’s my favorite bike. I’m not implying it will be yours, but all around, in a fleet of 12 bikes, it’s the one I cherish most. It’s a modern sporty road bike with retro flair, top drawer components, and a timeless style. It’s comfortable enough for an all day ride, ballsy enough for spirited twisties, and has buckets of that undefinable ‘character.’

It has been bulletproof, save for a recent recall for an ECU issue regarding stalling (mine is not so afflicted) and a spongy feel to the lever on the Brembo front brakes.

I’ve probably not put 500 miles on the CB this year, and with the Thrux and a Bonnie I use for local errands and the beach, I’ll prob use the CB as a trade in on my 60th birthday present...tbd. Happy to fill you in via PM on any specific Thrux questions.

WOW...!

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Your recommendation was all I needed. Those are exactly the qualities I'm looking for, and both my current Triumphs already have spongy brakes. I had to fix that on my ZX-10R as well as a couple of other machines, it's not a serious problem at all.

Thanks again, I really do appreciate your help.

P. S. That is a beautiful bike...
