Of course this Thruxton is an amazing performer for a retro bike. Quite hard to beat with those kind of premium components. But compared to actual sports bikes it basically only shares the uncomfortable seating position. So why is it still such a joy to ride this thing? Can beauty beat pain? :D
I think it‘s a combination of „Does it look sexy? YES! Does it sound sexy? YES! Do I look sexy? Probably NOT! Does it make me look sexy! YES! (A bit) 😂😂😂
I absolutely love these works of art that move and manoeuvre gracefully throughout the twists and turns. Well balanced and light to throw around with great response on the throttle. I will never sell my 2019 Thruxton R fitted with the dolphin front clip, it's a forever bike.
Thanks Schaaf for this video. I fully share your comments. I have recently been with my Thruxton RS in Almería, Spain, where I have traveled more than 3000 km of roads that did not know the straight line. It has been 15 days of absolute happiness. Its engine pushes as far as you are capable. Going strong, this motorcycle brakes in twenty meters with surprising definition and safety, the suspensions are hard and precise, you can throw your motorcycle to the cross of the curve and it goes out alone with all the gas you can give it. And the tires ... are gum. You can lean your motorcycle to the edge of the wheel tread without fear or doubt. And honestly, with my 1.80 m. high and my new long gel seat, my body does not protest after days of up to 350 km. Yes, definitely, this bike makes me very happy.
@@mrvwbug4423 I spoke my opinion out of experience, I owned a 2017 Thruxton R and it was a form of enjoyable self inflicted pain. I was actually quite disappointed that the Speed Twin came just months after I got the Thruxton.
@@mrvwbug4423 too bad it's so tiny. I really love the looks of the speed twin, but it's just too uncomfortable for me. I guess I'll just have to go with a Royal Enfield 650. Beautiful bike as well, but it could use a few ponies more
I had a 2013 Thruxton 900. I loved it and it really just wanted to stay above 5 grand. It was one of the most solid fun enthused machines I’ve ever ridden.
I drove the previous one, the Thruxton R and inmediatly love it. Besides its look, his engine is very enjoyable by its sound and big torque. The bike I would like to have only for weekend short drives.
@@Schaaf despite not having much riding experience but you and motojitsu actually help me to understand how to ride safe out here on the street of Hanoi, Vietnamese bikers truly need to pay more attention to riding skills cause most of them just hop on a liter bike and slap on an obnoxious exhaust
@@peterlestrange9392 yeah thats my plan right there =))), but the road surface here are so rough and there are loads of debrees,.. its so hard to enjoy a motorcycle properly here without getting in trouble
The reason this bike is so fun is because of the torque! It might not have top end speed, but it has a mid-range like none other and kicks hard at almost any rpm! On tight twisty roads and city streets you'd have a big advantage over a liter bike
I haven't ridden the Thruxton. But I do have a speed twin. And I agree. It all just works so well together despite not being the fastest, out the quickest in corners. It's just a blast to ride.
I've only seen two in the flesh and I consider it to be a very beautiful bike! As for performance, by the looks of your video, she seems to fare just fine. As long as you don't forget what you're riding.
Love this video, I just got one a few weeks back but the weather is horrible now so I will have to watch this on repeat instead. It was a close run decision between an rninet and the RS, the deciding factor was the engine of the RS particularly as I already have a GS, its intoxicating and very different from the boxer. Great video Schaaf👍
I have a street tripple and think I want one of these , that sounds amazing for a stock machine. You were pushing her pretty good in the corners. I need to try one.
What I'd give for these dry,empty roads and blue skies right now.......instead of temperatures just above zero,constant rain etc. and two more months before things improve 😫. Nice Vid and reminder of better times 👌
Haven't ridden an RS, but I've ridden a few R's and I've never liked a motorcycle more quickly than it. The first shift into 2nd gear, I thought, oh I'll give it some and see what it's got. It lifted and stayed lifted, yet planted for a solid 100 feet. By the time the front tire hit the road again, I wanted it for my own.
If you’re not going to the track, the Thruxton RS is all you need for the street. You already have the hi-comp pistons, with some re-valving, “Busa” springs and new cam, with the right tuner, she will spin to over 9,500 rpm and 130HP at the rear wheel.
i´m usually not the kind of biker owning several two wheelerz, cause i love the effect of really getting tuned into the one one uses all the time and knows inside out, the good , the bad and the ugly, but hearing this and been already bitten by the Triumph Bug (Streety, and Speed Twin) i totaly get what the title sais. it does something to me to :-) Hope you manage to enjoy as much as it got, so i did while watching. :-) Marius
Just looking at that dashboard and the engine, those Triumphs ooze quality. Same can be said for that beautiful baritone rumble, with a slight twist of that Triumph gear howl.
Try the new Speed Twin 1200. It is basically a Thruxton with a naked bike flat ber!! So much more comfortable ok less stiff suspension but still on a road a absolute joy to ride
Im a huge fan of yhe channel and saw that you rode the "speed twin" as well. If you were buying one for commutiy, weekend canyon rides and just use it for any opportunity you get. Which one woukd you choose and why? 😊 Would greatly appreciate the feedback because i am absolutely torn on deciding haha
Maybe Kawa is going to build a W1200 or something. I would definitely consider that. The Thruxton - like any other Triumph - is a really nice to have third or fourth bike in the collection. Same goes for KTMs. But if you got the money and space for it, why not. After all. it is a thing of beauty!
@@vvevvevvvv Yeah, no. I‘m talking about a two cylinder engine Retro-Kawa in the same power league as the Thruxton 😉 The Z900 RS doesn‘t look and feel nearly as retro than e.g. the W800. That‘s why I suggested a W1200 to directly compete with the Thruxton.
I had 2018 Thruxton R for about 2 seasons and freaking loved the bike! It simply does things to you. So much so that despite having another, more suitable bike in the stable, I took it for about 3500km tour across Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. Don't get me wrong, when you do 700km day on it the level of pain is not very enjoyable, but still. Unfortunately i had a big accident on it last summer, so the bike is no more. That beeing said, I'm considering buying Speed twin this spring. Maybe you guys are gonna be able to help me a bit here. I'm a bit torn between this platform and Kawasaki Z900RS. Between these two bikes, which one do you like more? I live about 300km from the roads you are riding on, so every now and then I get to Austria as well. It is spectacular down here. Thanks for wonderful videos Schaaf.
I think the Kawa is the better bike but the Speed Twin has the more exciting engine. I just love its sound and low end power. The engine of the Z is a stunning piece of engineering but it lacks a distinct rumble for a retro bike in my opinion. Both handle easily so I'd take the Triumph
Hey, schaaf! Great content, really enjoying it. What do you think about ergonomics? Do you think it is just right for you, or is it small, in rapport to your weight and height? I'm 186 cm and 90 kg, and I haven't had a chance to ride one, but i really enjoy the looks and sound of it. Thanks, man, for everything!
where is your camera mounted, on the helmet's chin or up top on your chest? I struggle to find a good mounting spot with my old gopro hero 3. Amazing video btw
I just downgraded from a zx14R to a 1200 Thruxton. Theres times I miss the 200 horsepower being instantly there and the Kawasaki was comfortable But I wanted something lighter and friendlier to my license and age at 70. Yeh its a good looking bike, its heavily customised and on a long open road its slow. I put in progressive springs and changed the gearing . You do have to flog it to get some forward motion, but it has lots of charisma and street prescence. My slow cruise speed on a zx14 was 140 kmh....the Thruxton high cruise speed is 130 to 140kmh. The bars and lean is similar to a zx14R. The stock Thruxton suspension is way behind a zx14R. OK I miss the light speed acceleration but its safer for me.
@Schaaf Hi there, I just bought an RS last week. I weigh 150lbs. Did you adjust the shocks at all? Just curious, most of the time they get it right at the factory. Love the videos!
Servus Schaaf! Fahre aktuell eine s1000rr und möchte auf was mit weniger Leistung umsteigen aber dennoch ein absolut geiles Fahrgefühl und sehr gute Bremsen haben (Sprich wie du beschrieben hast ein supersportler aber ohne die Leistung) und da fällt einem die RS ja sofort ins Auge wenn man auf Caferacer steht :) Meine Freunde fahren alle GS und Tiger und wollen auch mal, dass ich eine Tour mitfahren (zb Route des Grandes Alpes) kann mich aber absolut nicht mit einer Tourenmaschine anfreunden. Habe es mit meiner BMW auch schon mal geschafft 600km (Tagestour) zu fahren - also bin durchaus leidensfähig. Denkst du ob so eine Tour mit der Thruxtron rs (relativ angenhem) schaffbar wäre? Oder ist die Sitzposition zu anstrengend? Ich bin 1,79 groß und knackige 27 Jahre jung :D . Ich würde sie ja auch zu gerne probefahren, aber hier im Raum Niederbayern gibt die kein einziger Triumphhändler raus zur Probefahrt :(
ALso mit der RS bin ich nie getourt, aber mit einer Vitpilen, die hat eine ähnliche Sitzposition. Ist im jungen Alter definitiv kein Problem. Du musst nur schauen, wo du dein Gepäck unterkriegst. Ein schwerer Rucksack wird auf Dauer etwas mühsam.
Your gloves look like a nice mix of protection and comfort, what brand / model are they if you dont mind me asking Schaaf? I love the new triumph line, really think they'v done a great job all around
they are some kind of early prototypes from RACER gloves from France. But they are rather old now. I think what they come up with from there were the MAVIS 2 gloves
Well, first of all, she's regrettably lacking that third cylinder which made Triumphs so desirable since the first Trident and the Hurrican, and still does in their legendary Speed Triples, Street Triples and the Tiger ..... USD fork and nice Lupo-lamp and naked and pea-shooter and golden reservoir springs and all - it still is a parallel-twin. Quite like The Beetle of the motorcycle world .... anyway, thanks for sharing!

Mate, beauty *is* pain!

Damn, if that's all stock it's one of the best sounding stock set ups I've ever heard
Thanks
@@Schaafis it stock exhaust???
The Thruxton is a very focused "weekend twisty roads only bike" type of deal. Frankly, having it be your only bike is a form of masochism. XD
The Speed Twin seems to be the "you like the looks of the Thruxton, but actually want to be comfortable" bike

Same lol
Triumph makes som amazing bikes. I've been riding their Street Scrambler 900 for the past year and it is just so nice.
Couldn't agree more!
I love the flappy airplane noise from the Bonneville lineups! Thruxton RS will have to be my next bike..
amazing choice!
Amazing location, amazing roads, amazing weather, amazing bike and definitely amazing rider 🖤

yea!
Poetry in motion
Thanks
I love this bike so much
i owned a 2005 carbed 900 stock and it was a really fun bike. The position is perfect for no fairing riding.
Yea
Probably biased as I own one and love it . I could look at mine all day and never get bored of it’s beauty.
Nice!

Der Sound macht echt was her! Geilo.
Lg aus 1180
Dank dir! LG aus 1140
In that color combination (now discontinued), the Thruxton was probably THE best looking bike in the lineup.
Yea
Yes I agree. I have a 2021 in Jet Black. Best looking thing on 2 wheels. Need Motone to make a proper XL pipe and she will be nearly perfect
sweet!
Been obsessed with the Ducati sport classic, the thruxton shares similar qualities in styling and it's more affordable.
True that. Still expensive though
Love your videos... I would like to see Triumph Speed Twin on the channel... Waiting for that video
th-cam.com/video/A_lVU5NGIUY/w-d-xo.html
Would love to see you compare this to a Thruxton 900 and a RE Continental GT 650 for a everyday ride on the road..
Beautiful motorcycle, great video!
Thanks Pete!
@0:53 two riders enjoying a sweeping corner. Nice moment. 🤩
Indeed
How long could you ride the Thruxton before it became hard on the back and wrists?
1 hour
Wow dude you promise this video since too much Time for me 😉
A Real pleasure to see you again on this fucking painfull bike ✌️
:)
Fantastisch🤘! Beim 7:40 habe ich so sehr gehofft, das Du nicht den Ding auf der Spiegel liegst :)
