Took my sweet time finding and replying to this one so here we go ...
50 years old . Finally came back to motorcycling in 2017 with an impulsive purchase of a Suzuki Tu 250 X, another bike with tremendous style. Got comfortable very quickly and had a blast wringing that little 250's neck for about a year an close to 8,000 miles . Being a bit on the larger size of things , the Bear on a tricycle syndrome got me yearning for a bigger more powerful bike. Absolutely loved the Triumph Thruxton , especially the last air cooled model ... 2015 i think, with the 900 cc engine. I found one on cycle trader here in Georgia with 3200 miles on it and was talking to the dealer about working out a deal . As fortune would have it , scrolling through listings brought me to this bike .. leftover 2014 STD that several dealers had listed . Could not take my eyes off of it .. within 3-4 days i had reached an agreement with a dealer and picked the bike up this June .
8050 miles later and i can happily say the bike measures up and then some.
