I've been riding daily for 30 years and have owned a Thruxton 900 since 2014. Best bike yet. It's the bike i've most enjoyed owning.
Is it good for long rides? Does it take a toll on your back?
@@rageeth do some deadlifts u useless unit
What’s it like for wind blast?
Some naked bikes better then others.
@@rageethHello Rageeth , I’ve never faced any back issues I’ve done so many long highways rides in south India
@@ozziejim8472it’s classic motorcycle !! Of course
Bought a 2016 Thruxton from TX. Flew in from CA and rode it back. 1300 miles. No aches or pains considering I am 50. Really enjoyable ride and love riding it as much as possible.
This is reassuring. Congrats on the bike!
This actually helped a ton in my decision on buying a 2014 Thruxton. I’m gonna use it for long daily commutes, so thanks a ton!!
Thanks for the insight, was just wondering about long distance riding. Thanks 🙏
I ride the Bonneville SE of the same breed. The thing rides from minus 10°C to plus 45°C without ever complaining (in Canada). Just plain loving it since 2014. Never had or driven a car in my life (I am 60) and never owned a bike longer than this one. It excells in nothing but does everything. I love motorcycles, every brands and every models, maybe the older ones a bit better but dont give me the "I ride a real bike" thing, it will only show youre not a real biker. Keep up gang showing the true love of motorcycling. Ride long and prosper.
As a younger rider, this is inspirational. Appreciate the insight!
Michel, do you think a used Bonnie is a nice starter bike?
@@aka_pierre Yes it is. Not a slouche and not a bomb. Good tire pressure, well oiled chain and there you go. But beware, your starter may well be your definite bike.
@@michelbrisebois4317 Thank you!
I agree. Bonneville is an amazing jack of all trades bike. Will literally do anything, and easily at that. They're gorgeous as well. Tonnes of used ones around and I recommend them to everyone.
I own a 2013 Thruxton, I'm 6'1" and when I first sat on it I was blown away. It's not as solidly made as my BMW, but it's incomparably beautiful. The sound is incomparable, when I ride it here in the Black Forest it's days of thunder. It's my beautiful British.
For those interested in the older 900 model: Model years 2004 thru 2007 all had carbs! No fakes. Also the choke was function and necessary when it’s cold. Those models also had a gorgeous top tree made out of billet aluminum with clip ons, no the risers and handle bar. Both the handlebar and the fuel injectors started on 2008. If your back can’t hander an even sportier riding position. I recommend an earlier model. Get a set of predators fro British Customs and a set of 130 jets for the carbs. Also remove the air injection on the exhaust pipes. The bike will sound amazing and provide a little bump in performance. K&N filters round out the fueling and you’re good to go. One last thing, it’s not a bullet fairing, it’s a fly screen. (That last bit isn’t a joke, that’s actually what it’s called)
Thanks for the info
Hi... I've been told I shouldn't buy one with carbs. Do you agree? (I want to buy a 1995 thunderbird with carbs) could you help me out here? I'd appreciate... Greetings from Germany
@@filstalforce5089 - Absolutely you can buy a bike with carbs. There’s no reason not to. Keep in mind - if you’re looking to get more performance out of the engine , such as putting on after market air filters, or a different, less restrictive exhaust, you’ll probably need to change the carb jets for the engine to run optimally. But that’s a trivial matter for most motorcycle mechanics. Also stay away from gasoline with high levels of ethanol content or it may dissolve and gum up your carb jets with tank sediment (impurities from previous tanks of gas.) Good luck!
@@Spartan117KC thank you very much man... Stay safe...
you don't need to use the choke on the bike in the video. There's an idle knob you can adjust right below it. You can set it to standard 1000 rpm and never use the fake choke
I'm digging the new format of the test ride videos. I primarily started watching these to learn more about what other bikes are like (I'm a newer rider), so talking about them before riding is helpful.
Word
Had a Thruxton for two years. Amazing bike, great toque and turns a lot of heads on the street.
Just the right combination of power and toque for city riding.
And about the kickstand, just push is forward instead of down.
Why did you part with it?
Danilo Fontes
oh hell yeah,.
the power and quickness of these things are waaayy underrated.
In roll ons from 40 to 100 mph the Thruxton will quickly pull away from a Suzuki Hyabusa
@@winonabigbrownbeavereater2218 wtf u talking these 900cc thruxtons take 5-5.5seconds to reach 62mph
@@winonabigbrownbeavereater2218 Lol, no it won't.
I just became a 2009 Thruxton owner like an hour ago. Now I'm watching the video. I think I made a wise decision though. You rock!!
How’s the bike been?
@@Elguapo93 it’s been great. It’s a lovely bike.
I traded this bike in. About 2 weeks ago I had oil changed, put new tires (Pirelli) and got it inspected for the season. Love this bike but it was time to get something else. Sean and Caleb took awesome care of me and I will recommend them to anybody. I worked in Nissan sales for 3.5 years and now doing business to business sales and I can appreciate a good customer service. I heard Sean say in many videos that they don’t make that much on their bikes and it was cool to see that they are listing this bike about $1,000 more than what they gave me which is extreamly fair and reasonable. No wonder they don’t negotiate much on their bikes.
it's part of the fun and a learning experience to build a cafe'/brat/tracker/scrambler at home out of a old beater . Yeah you can put more into it than it is worth but when done they really are yours. You're suppose to build them yourself and not for the resale value lol. Yeah it's easier just to buy one,and I love triumphs and they have tons of after market bolt on, but it's not the same. So buy new but also continue to put new life and lover in the old machines!
I didn't event know they still made thruxton 900 so recently. I bought this year the new thruxton 1200 RS and I love it. It's beautifull, it's fun, it handles well, it's pretty fast. It's especially fun for europe country roads. The only downside is I have a hard time staying below the legal speed limit.
I love the ride vids a lot better than the simply walk around, but they both serve their purpose! Keep up the great work!
tbh after owning a 1000cc supersport bike , i now feel to just cruze around and enjoy the journey instead of how fast i can get to my destination.. im feeling this bike tbh 😎
I was in the same situation when I bought mine. Sold it within like 3 months because the riding position made me feel like I was still on my 1k but with brakes made of wood and a transmission that didn't like aggressive shifts. I lucked out on a 1200$ 05 gsxr600 and I think thats the happy balance for me rn... the thruxton looked awesome for picture tho!! 😄 🤣
That bike is the previous generation of the Thruxton...Now they have new & improved 1200 Classic & 1200R. I really love my 1200 Thrux.
and more horsepower compared to a t120
I love the new ones but I personally like the looks of the 900 more, just got myself one so you can call me biased :p
@@kattharsismicI actually think the 1200 s captures the look of an old Bonneville cafe racer better than the 900 . But the 900 probably is more retro being air cooled , found you had to rev 900 were as 1200 takes off without any revs , both great bikes though
I'm owning one since 2015, an amazing experience ... everything right from a panic braking to a crazy pick up... It always accompanied me in my journey. A wonderful machine
Have a very similar traffic circle in my neighborhood and I can definitely relate to the “this is not a stop sign.”
Just one ruber mount can fix side stand problem, adding 1 cm to left side. Btw that is not stock exhaust 😉
I’ve add rubber stopper and apply some grease it’s really easy!! I never have kick stand problem after that
Thanks for the review, I've owned Thruxtons previously and can agree to everything you've said in this review, except for the issue with the bike stand. These stands are actually very easy to operate. It just takes a bit of familiarization and then you'll get it first time, every time. I think that you'd be the perfect person to do a Thruxton R review because you totally get what the Thruxton is all about. There are no good reviews available online that compare the Thruxton 900 to a Thruxton R. I like the idea of the upspec features in the Thruxton R but I don't want those changes at the expense of the classic retro styling and engine feel & ergonomics that the Thruxton 900 delivers so perfectly. Unfortunately, my local dealer has no bikes for test riding, so gutted! I'm returning to riding after 8 years of kids and am now in the market to buy a Thruxton, I just need to work out which model!
Test ride the HT 900 also. You may be pleasantly surprised. Street twin.
I love it but I really don't recommend it as a beginners bike...very heavy and difficult to ride
Just came upon this review, but bought a 2010 SE two years ago. It really is a great bike, and he’s spot on about how great is in those long swooping curves, absolutely favorite part about the bike. I’m toying with the idea of moving on from this bike but after seeing this I just want to hop on mine and go.
Hate to break it to you but if there are cars in the roundabout, you have to stop. That's what yielding is. You don't stop unless you have to yield :)
I have a Thruxton and I love it. The mirrors are great. I do like the seating position. But after about 60 miles on the highway, you need to get off the road and walk a bit.
Kickstand is very easy to use actually. I just use my toes to kick it forward instead of my heel. Wrap the toes around that knob and easy peasy
I’ve added rubber stopper on the exhaust where kickstand goes and stops and applied some grease it’s very light and easy now !!
I just got this bike and I am a new rider!!! I wish I had open roads to practice on!! Trying to learn here in nyc is giving me headaches 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🏍🏍
Back to basics bike, that's what it is all about so much electronics takes away the beauty of riding a motorcycle.
Basic is vanishing. I dont have ride mode control and ABS on my model but its EFI, still simple to service. The later models have everything like lotsa sensors, ABS, ride modes and probably an assisted kick stand will see the day. Regulations dictates what is populating the show rooms. Like many riders, I know how to ride my bike, those things I dont need, but one day I will buy another new bike and it will come with all the things I dont want.
The only rider aid I fear liking is quick shifters
IDK who's building cafe racers out of viragos maxims and shadows... That's totally the wrong frame for a cafe. If you're going to build a cafe racer use a Honda CB Yamaha XS or XJ or a Suzuki GS they have the correct frame type. You can also use the Kawasaki KZ but it's such an iconic bike I wouldn't recommend tearing it apart unless it's already junk.
MAYNARD -1 you said the maxims are the wrong frame. You know the Yamaha xj is a maxim right?
@@Big-kon I'm talking about the old Xj's
@@Big-kon Maxims are a type of XJ, I had one up until today (buying a Thruxton and couldn't afford to have two bikes) if I wanted to make a cafe of a XJ I would chose a SECA not a Maxim.
There are actually some awesome Virago cafes, but it does require frame modification to change the seat position.
I had one on Kauai and it was perfect. Country roads shaded with different types of huge trees. Ocean front and jungle going out to Hanalei and a canyon road up to Waimea canyon. The fastest you could go, on the island, was a five mile stretch before the military reservation, at 60 mph. Brakes not the greatest. No one wants to work on it and it rains all the stinking time on Kauai so there is not a lot of motorcycling going on. I really enjoyed my days riding there, and on Maui but it’s the Big Island that’s best for riding motorcycles. Ride Hawaii.
it sounds like a 360 degree crank
My one issue with the Thruxton is the tail ends too far back for the proper cafe-racer look.
It should end over the rear hub.
I love my 06 Thruxton! I was one of them, trying to make an old Suzuki look like a Cafe, decided to just buy a running, great looking Triumph! Very pleased!
Halicyn mirrors from England. Around $130 a pair. Very cool classic mirror.
Already have one since 2009, never letting it go
Man this will be my first road bike, I'm sold.
Nice Thrusting. Roundaboubt-yield to traffic in the circle, if car has to stop so be it!
Nice 👍🏼 bike 🏍
Fake carburettor adds that old school character 🐼
Good review those pipes don’t sound stock at all.
I've had one of these for a few years now. Amazing bike 2007 with some upgrades
love it :-)
Hey there! I'm here to ask some advice :) Can you ride this on a highway trip (4 to 6 hours) and keep it comfortable, or the position will drive you a bit insane after few hours?
The 2014 in metal flake British racing Green with gold center stripe and seat cowl. Ahhhhh yes
you and me could be friend my good sir
Yes ... I ´ m too :)
I refer to the Thruxton when I describe it to my friends as a gentleman's sport bike. It's not over intimidating in power and speed but it is astestically pleasing.
The choke is actually a idle advance most efi bikes have them wired in for some reason Triumph does it like this I guess to keep old school look ! U must use it even when bike is warm or battery will die also my kickstand was the same way u have to lube the spring and loosen it up and it will go so easy I have a 2011 Bonnieville so this is how I know these things because I had all the same issues ur discussing but what a great bike!! God Bless you great videos and love the Bible readings Amen My Brother in Christ and brother in bikes
Man my thruxton pops and backfires when down shifting and coasting. Any recommendations ?
My thruxton does it also. Its the original muffler.
Small amounts of fuel enter the cylinder through the valves. If you don't give gas there is no oxygen in the cylinder and it comes to an explosion in the exhaust. The cause: a tuned open exhaust with too little resistance.
The muffler of this bike is not original .
@@duka7436 Remove the air injection into the cylinder heads no more poping.
Revisiting this video- recalled seeing it a few years back. I just learned that the Triumph Thruxton is being discontinued with their “Final Edition” in 2025! Ugh- totally bummed.
Wow, those sure do look like carburetors. Wonder why they would mock up CV's rather than Amals...
They are back to Amal design on the T120.
The 'New Bonnevilles' started out with Keihin carbs. Easier to just keep ordering the Keihin casings adapted for FI. No designing carb boots, airbox or throttle cable/linkages.
l ride the first mod (´04, the one built in UK, with actual carburetors) since 2010. huge fun, both in short and long trips!!
I've been more of a car guy all these years but I'm really really thinking about getting one of these and it will be my first bike ever if I do get one.
Wow Thruxton was my least favorite of the Triumph 900s, but it looks sick in this video. Why does the Thruxton have 10 more HP than the Scrambler 900? Wtf... I'd like a Thruxton with the Scrambler pipes.
Gloves are more chosen for protection no matter what bike you ride. Tarmac at high speed is very abrasive!
I had one for a few years. Very disappointing. The bike, the last model was made to a price! Much is cheaper than it should be, the suspension is poor in stock form and lacking in HP. Still, I liked the bike, if the seating position was better I might still have one. The seating position is terrible for such a small change. I now have a Bonnie SE, had to upgrade the brakes, suspension and add some power. I am almost there ... add a big bore kit and it should be good! A lot of work, but I like the bike. A lot.
Could have gotten any number of Bonnie line with a 1200 CC engine and saved yourself. Most (if not all) have upgraded brakes to dual disk and the engine is not only almost 40% more power, but much more economical when it comes to gas. Good Luck!
I love the sound of this bike.
Great review Sean, may G-d bless you and your family.
Just to add some sell points and clarity to this bike.. the forks are the same (but you should upgrade the springs to progessive drop ins) , the rear shocks are longer in length but otherwise the same, the crank is lighter, so technically the Thruxton has the better of the other 865 engines, unless you like the lower HP of the 270 firing of the scrambler. If the 865cc is a little too sluggish for you then 1000 bucks gets you new pipes, airbox upgrades and a tune for an extra 10HP....It has rearsets, and it has the lower bars. Depending on the year they are clips on bars, but the "newer" 865s has risers and a handlebar. Another thing is it has the middle size front wheel, the T100 is 1" bigger and the SE has the smaller mag which effects handling somewhat. Almost all the parts across 865 twins fit on the range. And to the guy who somehow thinks an overpriced Ducati with its closer and more expensive service intervals is better...and comparing a Icon Scrambler to a bike that is a few years older is not at all a comparison. You literally just change the oil on the 865's once a year and that's it. The Triumph is bullet proof. You cannot kill them....and they are a few grand cheaper. They also barely changed from the time they put EFI in them in 09 to when they changed in 2016. So save some cash and get an older one if you are looking around. Otherwise paying high $$ for a more recent model is pointless, if so, just get the redesign 16+ 1200cc. that has a ton of extra features and is 2x the bike. I have owned many Triumphs. They are very good for what they are all around. Good video.
Very nice bikes bonnevilles and thruxtons. At some point I was considering getting a thruxton.
Get one but it’s little heavy
came here after looking at a 2006 for sale locally - any issues with a 2006? i know they have carbs/made in Britain??
To be honest, I like the older Bonnevilles better. I like the classic style.
I keep watching this over and over! I have wanted one for awhile now. Only in Reading will have to stop by!
the hinckley triumph is an excellent bike. I had a 2004 bonneville and it was so well balanced compared to a HD and much more torque and top end for 3k. But, traded it for a 1951 Willys wagon.
I own an 07 and its actually different from a standard bonneville in terms of the engine oiling system and puts out about 80 horsepower not 60. Good review though.
Before your video I was already looking for a Thruxton 900, but now I buy one as soon as possible cause I#m totally on fire now! Thanx man and greatings from south of Germany!
Well, it's nice to have ''All that air hitting your body'', unless it's a cool November day when an actual small fairing breaks the chill.
You are wrong, if a car is going around the roundabout you should stop because they have the right of way, that's why it says yield, you don't have to stop but when needed.
Modern Norton Commando.
The point of building a cafe (for most people) is to build a bike that nobody else has. It's about the project, it's about having something that you created. Not always about the look. Don't get that by spending $10,000 on a factory bike.
exactly !!!
Relax. Thruxtons are cool for what they are. Its just a cool bike, no one is pretending its a one off project.
So many aftermarket parts for thruxton, easy to customize it, just not cheap
My verse this morning was Matt 6:19, about ...rust destroying stuff. What’s funny is that all i’ve done this morning is clean some rust off of a tool i’m loaning out.
My buddy has one of these I was going to try and ride it but it was really awkward to get up because I’m on the shorter side so I decided not to try and ride definitely a cool looking bike though
I don't know...lots of people love the harley v-twin sound, but to me, the sound of a good powerful 360 parallel twin has to be the best. I'd get the regular Bonneville (upright bars and pegs) with the upswept exhaust of the Thruxton.
Had an 850 Yamaha triple (1980) that I customized very slightly and improved the looks of greatly, I think :-). Took the rusted buckhorn semi ape-hanger pseudo-chopper bars off and put bonneville-style bars on, and took the big ugly airbox off and put on three cone-shaped K&N style air cleaners on. Much better, much cleaner, but it was still a noisy, shaky, overweight nuisance of a beast. Not sorry to see that one go.
Not sure you know what you are talking about. Its NOT stock it has aftermarket mufflers on.
i'd love one!
i agree that making your own cafe bike seems unwise, it would be a lot less than $18,000!
That was a very useful review, thanks! The video tittle sounds like a click-bait and doesn't reflect the quality of the content.
Hi :)
Thanks for the great presentations for the different bike :) I've been watching a lot of them, before finally buying my second bike, The Bonneville T100 2008, 865.
One thing that caught my attention, was the oddometer - My T100 redlines at 7k rpm, and the oddometer only goes to 8k. Where as the Thruxton in the video redlines at 8.5k, at the oddometer goes to 10k?
Why is that? And how does it still produces the same power in spite of the higher redline?
Ps. My first bike is a Honda CB650SC Nighthawk (1984/5), which I got dirt cheap from a friend, whom had started to make it into a Cafe Racer. Luckily nothing has been cut, so it's still possible to take it back to original :)
Pps. What should I buy next? Triumph Street Triple? Honda CBX1100 (the inline-6 which sounds as a F1 racer) (collector)? Triumph Daytona 675 (collector)? A newer Triumph Twin Speed? Honda Bal'dor (collector)?
The biggest difference in those 2 bikes are the steering angle. The thruxton has 2 or 3 degrees steeper steering than the bonneville for faster reactions. So the frames are not exactly the same..
And the SE have smaller and lighter mag wheels.
I think you over exaggerated how sporty the seating position is, its barely sportier than the t100. You could certainly have a sportier seating position on something like a panigale or an r1
Makes me miss my Norton,great sound and reliable too👍
Thanks for the good review. I was interested in these but not now. I didn't know about the seating and foot peg locations. Not for me. I may check out their Scrambler instead. Still trying to find a modern bike that is as much fun as my first one. A Suzuki GT550 triple 2 cycle. So fast accelerating. I still miss that. It was a copy of the Kawasaki triples, the 750 of which was dangerous. But the blue smoke isn't liked much anymore.
Currently Enjoying a 2004 BMW K1200GT. She's heavy but fast.
LOL I love that he no hands it for like a solid minute
Man great video until he started talking about not modifying or making a custom a cafe racer out of old bikes. If done right their bikes brought back to life are absolutely gorgeous and a treasure
Did you ever try the Triumph Street Bob?
Is the Thruxton smaller than the Thunderbird 900 Sport you were so enthusiastic about ?
East Enfield 😆 I knew that was CT in the first 100 feet of road you got on. You never forget the style of houses and roads no matter where you've lived afterwards.
Since buying my first bike in September I've realized a like the look of the cafe racer, but not the riding position. The Bonnie is way more suitable for me. I put slightly lower euro style handlebars on my 1975 Honda CB750. I don't think I'd go much lower than that. I find the bar end mirrors work way better than the stock mirrors...I can actually see behind me with the bar ends.
My first bike is also a 1975 cb750k. Mine was $100 and i had to build everything but the engine. Still not done needs side covers paint ect. The cb's are great cafe platform. My dad also has a 78 cb750k. Love these bikes, Its also the 50 anniversary for cb750's
John Meurer I paid more for mine (2 grand) but it was put together and running. It’s been a great bike to learn maintenance on. I put a Dyna S on it myself and I had the carbs off to replace the float needles that had lost some of there springiness.
My dad paid like $3200 running driving all original and mine was a project that needed $1000 worth of stuff and lots of time wrenching to be were im at now. I might get a third cb750 over here in detroit because they are cheap
This honestly wasn't such a great "review" of the motorcycle. This felt more of like random thoughts that popped into your head while you were riding this bike for the first time. If you're wanting to do a video with a click bait title like that you should actually lay out facts of the bike. Push the bike a bit in your review so you can let people know your thoughts and opinions of what's good/bad, what you'd recommend to change/not change etc. The only real advice from this video that's good for potential people buying a Thruxton is that it's a good intermediate level bike.
i had a 67 bonneville tt drag pipes i would dust harleys back then.
Do a video of this Thruxton vs The mighty Vulcan S 650
Oh but Sean. I'm sort of a budget biker. I have to try and tailor my ancient 1980 XS1100 Yamaha to my tastes. I only paid $480 for it. Mostly because the previous owner had to sell it to keep peace in the family after getting a big ticket. Not a big ticket item. A BIG ticket, citation, infraction. Besides I've become addicted to the muscle bike power. Like only my XS1100 and my dear departed 90's era 1000 Ninja had. I'd like to try the Thruxton but will it try too pull me off the back under even close to full throttle?
Those carburetors look like carburetors because they're carburetors (Kehin CV carbs similar to ones use on many other bikes, including older Harleys). That is not a fuel injected bike
It's fuel injected , all Triumphs have been since 2008. Those are fake carbs with the fuel injection throttle bodies hidden inside. I have a 2007 T100 , it was the last year for carbs.
I thought this was posted in 2014 - has anyone told this guy that this entire video has nothing to do with theThruxton built since 2016?
Ohh this bike with pair of brown leather boots is all i need). It 'd look gorgeous with red jacket, brown scarf , boots , leather brown gloves , dark jeans chaotic medium-long hairstyle and aviator shaped sunglasses 🙌
Had a 500 triumph when I was a kid 👍😎
I was on 666 views, I hope it changes when it comes to the end! Love the reviews guys. Roddy from Glasgow Scotland!
Get a Moto Guzzi Griso and do a review of that please
Kevin Wilder - I went from a Triumph T100 to a Griso. Like trading in a pretty, polite English rose for a sultry, tantrum throwing, Italian Signora. Mama Mia!
yep the back brakes are to far back I am getting mine pushed up a little
Regarding the kickstand, it seems like you might have more success if you dipped your foot more downward and caught the ball with the front ledge of the boot heel. ANYONE? There's GOTTA be a reason why they mounted it that way.
I’ve added rubber stopper and apply some grease this problem is gone
Niiiiice! Adding in some Paul, love that!
I totally agree, that kickstand is such a pain in the ass lol
Apply some grease and add rubber stopper it’s gone
I love how you speed on that 25 mph road every ride. At least you 'keep it under the speed limit." Haha.
Having the same engine on my bike, I can honestly say, that Shaun is going 25 mph (and some ;) ) But it's not that bad - The gear are low, so you can have a lot of fun, and not be speeding (to much)...
My 1975 Honda CB550F Supersport I just got running after saving it from a horrible fate looks and feels a lot like that but rougher around the edges.
I own thruxton 900 in India, Before I was using Royal enfield continental GT, lots of vibration when speed to 80 km per hour, but Thruxton is beast, thanks to its weight and suspension, which gives no vibration at all. It roars and the viewers envy
How reliable has it been with India road conditions
@@Spartansrule118 I usually take her to highways where she respond tremendously, but in city, it roast my legs. Reliability is very much there, thanks to its brand, but moreover it massage my ego when fellow commuters lock there eyes and get mesmerized
