New 1200 cc Bonnies revealed

I really like this new Thruxton. Looking at the first pictures of it, it so reminds me of the Ducati Sports Classic which simply was brought to the market at the wrong time. That Ducati was for me pretty much the perfect bike. It looked great, had what is possibly the best engine Ducati has made and a chassis to go with it. Granted, the clip-ons where bit too low (which was later corrected) and there was the problem with the tank, but it so deserved to do well. Unfortunately the timing was wrong and very few people bought them. I am sure if they brought it back today it would do well, and perhaps they can do something like that using the engine from the Scrambler.

Here is a comparison between the Thruxton R and the SportsClassic:
