- digtal display
- usb connection
- traction control
- electronic slipper (something like that)
- ride by wire
- as a consequense of the previous -> riding modes
- stock heated grips
Could be I even forgot a few things...
They also have a 6th gear BTW.
Not all those things are available on the base model, their Street Twin, but most things are, so I assume all are stock on the Thruxton R.
But still, for me the CB is more than enough bike and those gadgets are not necessities for my kind of riding (or for that kind of bike, imo)
Makes sense that they would add the modern electronics to the new line of 1200cc classic bikes (Thruxton & T120). The Tiger 800 and Tiger Explorer got the electronic updates last year, so I guess they are working their way through the product line.
Looks like all their models have ABS (required in Europe?), but their cruisers, sport bikes, and the old classics (seems redundant) lack the new electronics.
