I was thinking exactly on similar lines. Let me line it up for you: 1. The BMW makes more power. 2. The BMW is significantly more expensive (at least in our country). 3. The Thruxton R has better ground clearance. (Important in our country) 4. The Thruxton R has 10% higher torque at a much lower RPM. The Thruxton is clearly off the blocks much earlier. I have a feeling, (from what I remember) that the 9T is marginally more flickable though I cannot really say that convincingly. Looks are very subjective. Both have great build quality and durability. So it is really up to you to choose what you want. I know it is a tough call.
What did you end up getting? I was in the same boat a year ago. I ended up getting a 2013 Thruxton 900, simply because I got a good deal on it and the bike was like brand new with 2k miles. I really love it. The 900 is sufficient, but at times I do wish I had the 1200 and a 6th gear for highway.
I was able to test ride them both side by side, and the Thruxton R was a better fit for me. A little background, I am coming from a Ducati 1299 Panigale, but I am looking to transition into something a bit more tame. With that being said, the BMW was a little too sterile and smooth...the Thruxton R is a bit more engaging. The Thruxton R sounds better, brake feel is superior, and for me that made all the difference. I will say that the gearing and lower rpm's are a bit of a pitfall to me, but again I am coming from sport bikes, hence I am jaded. I just felt I was shifting a bit too soon, and I prefer to run a bit more between gears. Other than that, this bike is a great bike! I also test rode a Yamaha MT-09, which may have been the best all around bike I have ever ridden...only problem for me is the MT-09 lacks in build quality (finish details), sound, and style, but this is a little off topic! Conclusion, the Thruxton R was hands down better than the BMW R Nine T for me. Hope this helps...
As a owner of 2016 Thruxton R for over two years I thought this was an excellent review. I have raced this bike, ridden it on short rides (150 miles) and longer rides (400 mile days) and on the long rides I prefer my Corbin seat for two. I know the 0-60 mph speed is advertised as 3.0 seconds but I found it to be closer to 3.8 seconds. The bike is versatile and capable of racing, touring or just general in town commutes with equal excellence. I have a couple of vlogs up showing it on the drag strip and at the Bonneville Salt Flats going full speed under my name. Keep it clean and change the oil and you can ride it hard with no issues. There have been recalls for some issues for some bikes on the 2016 models....but mine has been trouble free.
Wow! Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. Means a lot really. But there are some awesome reviewers from India. Sagar, Shubhabrata Marmar and some others.
Thank you very much. You can check the following that I have already done: 1. Bonneville T120. 2. Multistrada 950 3. Street Triple S 4. Ninja 1000 And others...
Picked my new bike (Xmas present from my wife) on 02 Jan 2019. I have lusted after this bike since a motorcycle journalist here in Australia lent me a demonstration model Triumph had lent him mid 2017. I am loving everything about this bike except having to ride it gently for the run-in period. Brakes, handling, acceleration, it has it all. And to ride it in the metropolitan area just brings positive comments about how beautiful it is. I think my Yamaha Super Tenere is developing a complex, having been ignored since the Thruxton arrived. Glad you love your bike as much as I love mine. Even my son, ex WSBK and MotoGP, enjoyed a ride on it, complimenting the gearbox, light clutch and handling/steering.
Totally agree on all points. Actually this is not my bike. Triumph gave this bike to me for a video review and these are my thoughts on the bike. This is among the top 3 of my all time favourite. That said, I am honoured to know that your son is ex WSBK and MotoGP. What's his name?
Hello from Philly. I'm sorry I didn't reply to you earlier. Never got a notification. Someone pointed your comment to me. Thank you very much for leaving a comment here. I hope you are staying safe in NY. Congratulations on your new purchase. The RS is simply awesome. Triumph makes very good motorcycles. If by any chance you are travelling through Philly, ping me on Instagram or Twitter, we can catch up over coffee or something.
Krishnendu Good review buddy. Spirited and all praises for the bike. which is well deserved. I got my FE two weeks ago. I agree with you on most counts. Interesting to hear of the bike's abilities on the track. I used to ride a Panigale. I miss it for the power but your review is encouraging. Ride safe
Love the Thruxton R..glad I bought it . Already have close to 300 miles on it already in 2 weeks time . . Lot of power . Love the gear box and torque. . I got the green one .
Thank you so much for coming and watching my channel. Also thanks for leaving a comment. 🙏🙏 The MT09 review is coming soon. Watch this space by subscribing.
Great review. Thruxton has a sweet torquey engine and handles very nicely for a retro bike. I prefer the standard, non R Thruxton 1200 for the more traditional looks.
Hey there, great video. You showed stuff no other Thruxton reviewer showed. Can I ask you 2 thing. Rather help me decide. 1. Can one do long touring on Thruxty? 2. Now that RE released GT Continental 650, bike of choice.......Thruxton or GT? Great idea........ You should do a comparison video :)
That's indeed a great question. For me, it will boil down to a question of finances. Also, they are not the same category at all. The Thruxton is 6 times more expensive. It is 3 times more powerful, has twice as much torque, USD fully adjustable forks and suspension. They are actually not comparable.
Krishnendu, much thanks for your valuable feedback. Let’s say finances is not a concern. The thing is how much of that higher torque and hp can be enjoyed on our Indian roads :) And what about touring on Thruxton. Would you dare a world tour on same?
@@Keshy. Valid point. Depends on where you are. I loved it in North India. Great for carving the Himalayan Twisties. Excellent for Rajasthan, Maharashtra, pretty good actually. I wouldn't do a world tour for sure on this for 2 reasons: 1. Luggage options and, 2. Range. I would prefer the Multistrada. Check my Multistrada review. Imp note: this is a review of the Thruxton R and not the Thruxton, two very different motorcycles!
Torn between T120 and Thruxton, in particular for comfort. How tall are you and inside leg? I’m 6 foot and 32” inseam, Thruxton May be too cramped for me ? Thanks
Firstly let me thank you for leaving a comment and asking a relevant question. I'm sorry I never got a notification of your comment. The answers are thus: I'm 166 cms, that's 5'6" or thereabouts. I do not know my inseam. But because of the sporty nature, it stands a little tall for me. If you have not ridden a sportsbike before, like an R6 or an R1, then for sure you might find it a little cramped. Both the T120 and the Thruxton are very good motorcycles. But they are very different motorcycles with very different price tags. The handling of the Thruxton is awesome. The T120 is more for relaxed chilled out riding. You can watch my T120 review and see if that helps. Do let me know if you have other questions. You can ping me on Instagram or Twitter since TH-cam does not always show notifications.
Hi krishnendu 3 questions: 1. what is the actual efficiency of bike in coty/highway riding? 2. Maintenance cost of bike per year? 3. I am going to buy one for me, do u think there are any differences in 2017 and 2019 model thruxton r ? Please share ur valuable feedback
Thank you for commenting. All very valid questions. Firstly the fuel efficiency is to the tune of 22kmpl give or take depending upon your riding style. Maintaining it also depends on how much you are riding it. Your first major service with oil change would be around 7.5 K and it should cost as much as a mid sized hatchback. As for the 2019 model there is not much difference to write home about other than a little change in the rake angle making it an even better handler.
@@LauraLasan69 If you start riding it on a regular basis, you will get neither back pain nor wrist pain. I rode an R1 for 50K Kms. Never got any pains.
That is a good question. Actually no. It does not come with a gear indicator, at least not on this model. But, honestly, that should not be a deal breaker. That will by no means change the amazing machine that it is. The Thruxton R.
@@KrishnenduKes I really love the looks of it, never got a chance to ride one. someone just told me that the bike does have a gear indicator(shows in what gear youre in)...maybe yours is a pre model?
@@andreisames3021 If you look through the video, you will see that when I'm accelerating and changing gears, it is not showing the gear. I may be wrong though.
I have heard that too. I found it to be just fine. It was not too hard. But it is certainly not soft. It is not something that one would one to do a 1000 kms in a day. That said, it would not stop me from doing a 1000 clicks in a day. I really like a lot of things in this bike so much so that I can afford to ignore the seat totally. There are others who have told me that even the riding posture is too aggressive. I found it to be pretty ergonomic.
Krishnendu Kes thanks. It really is a work of art..my favourite bike. I guess as well there are plenty of custom after market seats if its too hard for long journeys.
Yes KesDa, I think these 4 series of bikes should be compared: Bonnie T120/ Scrambler 1100/Z900RS/R9T. While My heart goes with R9T the price and service support from BMW will never make it happen. The z900rs will be a delight I guess for the 'JAPS' factor but again it's priced few lakhs higher. Then the Scrambler obviously comes with Ducati premium but no so much that one can't dream about it (Ducati service and parts can be a pain). And that makes Bonnie the most safe bet I guess. Moreover I think the retro feel is more represented by a twin than an I4. :)
@@KrishnenduKes they fall far behind Eurpean standards. There are no interstate autobahns....maybe a good thing. They clear almost all the trees from near the road so there is no shade in a hot dry country. Where I live few roads are sealed, we have little gravel so in winter when it usually rains the clay roads are barely passable. None are surveyed. The main road is twisty with black spots where people die . The surface is patched and heavily rutted from road trains. The State went bankrupt in a year after a long mining boom....Western Australia.......as all the taxes are mainly from wage earners, This is a result of corporatisation.....low investment in infrastructure and welfare. Wages are stagnant so consumption is down, we have severe drought and the politicians have not managed our only irrigation region so there are some food shortages. The country is being allowed to run down, its not an inclusive democracy of happy workers. Still i have time to buy bikes and ride. I have a zx14r and a 1500 cruiser. Big bikes here as we have lots of empty spaces away from the cities. They have to have dood suspension to cope with the crap roads. which has brought me back to the start. Like kharma.
@@buddhastaxi666 I can understand the European bit. Now I am convinced that European roads are the best in the world. I have been driving for the past 2 months in PA. I have driven in 6 countries in Europe. They are simply superb. Maybe the network is not as good as in the USA. But the quality of tarmac in Europe is far superior. The best.
@@KrishnenduKes yes i have drive thousands of kilometres in Europe. Their main roads are superb especially considering the volume of traffic. That traffic for me was so intimidating we barely got to see famous cities . I would love to stretch the legs of my kawasski over there. Maybe i should get to the isle of mann tt before i get any older
The RE 650 is a great motorcycle. But they are not comparable in my opinion. The RE is a GT. This is almost a track oriented bike. The RE is much cheaper, agreed.
@@KrishnenduKes m about to buy a bike...m confused should it be Apache rr310 or gt 650...ill be a collage student soon and belong to a middle class family..if possible ill love to get your opinion on this...though 20kmpl is way costly than 35kmpl by rr310
@@ashavaishnav5343 That is indeed a tough call to make. I too like both. There are two things that you have to look at: 1. Have you made a budget of how much you are going to spend during a month? If you have, what percentage would you spend on fuel? If that fits into your 20kmpl, it is fine. 2. Do you like really sporty looking bikes or do you like vintage looking bikes? Once you know that, things would be easier for you. Both are great bikes. But if you can decide on the two points above, it will help you resolve your decision.
@@ashavaishnav5343 Thanks a lot for your kind words. You can help by sharing my work and videos. And if you are in Delhi, we can meet and talk more. ✌️✌️
Thank you for review ,i’m gonna buy this motorcycle ,but wondering how it is driving handling for new driver (it is gonna be first bike ) Too expencive for maintance?
A new bike will never be too expensive for maintenance. Triumph gives good value. However you need to check in your country, in forums if the Triumph after sales service is good. In India it is superb, one of the best. What bike have you ridden before? Because you see, this bike is a torque monster. Little touch of the throttle and the bike just shoots forward. One has to be a little careful if you haven't handled such torque before. I'm talking about the Thruxton R.
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. Because this is not a high motorcycle, I did not mention the height. But since you ask, I'm 165 cms, that is around 5 feet 6, same as you. Perfectly comfortable and easy bike to ride. Let me know when you decide.
@@subscribechannel5732 It is very comfortable for me. I have no problems riding long hours crouched on clip-ons. I have done 700 Kms with am R1. As for the price, last I knew it was around INR13L ex-showroom.
@@BadDrucifer Oh! If you are that tall, most bikes would look small under you. In that case, you should go for bikes like Tiger or Multistrada or the GS. If you do not care about how it would look, then go for what you would enjoy.

Hi krishnendu
3 questions:
1. what is the actual efficiency of bike in coty/highway riding?
2. Maintenance cost of bike per year?
3. I am going to buy one for me, do u think there are any differences in 2017 and 2019 model thruxton r ?

Thank you for commenting. All very valid questions.
Firstly the fuel efficiency is to the tune of 22kmpl give or take depending upon your riding style.
Maintaining it also depends on how much you are riding it. Your first major service with oil change would be around 7.5 K and it should cost as much as a mid sized hatchback.
As for the 2019 model there is not much difference to write home about other than a little change in the rake angle making it an even better handler.

Yes KesDa, I think these 4 series of bikes should be compared: Bonnie T120/ Scrambler 1100/Z900RS/R9T. While My heart goes with R9T the price and service support from BMW will never make it happen. The z900rs will be a delight I guess for the 'JAPS' factor but again it's priced few lakhs higher. Then the Scrambler obviously comes with Ducati premium but no so much that one can't dream about it (Ducati service and parts can be a pain). And that makes Bonnie the most safe bet I guess. Moreover I think the retro feel is more represented by a twin than an I4. :)
@@royarnab22 That's true. But are you sure that the z900 is priced higher? From what I remember, it retails at under 10L.
Does the stock seat support a pillion?
great theme music..pls tell the name of that
Wow! Thank you for coming and leaving a comment. I take my music from TH-cam. Do not recall the name of this particular composition. Sorry! 🙏🙏
Aussie roads are crap as well, i am forever fiddling with the suspension.....great ohlins
Aussie roads are crap? Really? Never knew that.
@@KrishnenduKes they fall far behind Eurpean standards. There are no interstate autobahns....maybe a good thing. They clear almost all the trees from near the road so there is no shade in a hot dry country. Where I live few roads are sealed, we have little gravel so in winter when it usually rains the clay roads are barely passable. None are surveyed. The main road is twisty with black spots where people die . The surface is patched and heavily rutted from road trains. The State went bankrupt in a year after a long mining boom....Western Australia.......as all the taxes are mainly from wage earners, This is a result of corporatisation.....low investment in infrastructure and welfare. Wages are stagnant so consumption is down, we have severe drought and the politicians have not managed our only irrigation region so there are some food shortages. The country is being allowed to run down, its not an inclusive democracy of happy workers. Still i have time to buy bikes and ride. I have a zx14r and a 1500 cruiser. Big bikes here as we have lots of empty spaces away from the cities. They have to have dood suspension to cope with the crap roads. which has brought me back to the start. Like kharma.
@@buddhastaxi666 I can understand the European bit. Now I am convinced that European roads are the best in the world. I have been driving for the past 2 months in PA. I have driven in 6 countries in Europe. They are simply superb. Maybe the network is not as good as in the USA. But the quality of tarmac in Europe is far superior. The best.
@@KrishnenduKes yes i have drive thousands of kilometres in Europe. Their main roads are superb especially considering the volume of traffic. That traffic for me was so intimidating we barely got to see famous cities . I would love to stretch the legs of my kawasski over there. Maybe i should get to the isle of mann tt before i get any older
@@buddhastaxi666 Oh yes man. Just do it! I will come to make a video on you. :)
How is R.E. gt 650? Except its engine looks similar and price is about 75℅ less
The RE 650 is a great motorcycle. But they are not comparable in my opinion. The RE is a GT. This is almost a track oriented bike.
The RE is much cheaper, agreed.
@@KrishnenduKes m about to buy a bike...m confused should it be Apache rr310 or gt 650...ill be a collage student soon and belong to a middle class family..if possible ill love to get your opinion on this...though 20kmpl is way costly than 35kmpl by rr310
@@ashavaishnav5343 That is indeed a tough call to make. I too like both.
There are two things that you have to look at:
1. Have you made a budget of how much you are going to spend during a month? If you have, what percentage would you spend on fuel? If that fits into your 20kmpl, it is fine.
2. Do you like really sporty looking bikes or do you like vintage looking bikes? Once you know that, things would be easier for you.
Both are great bikes. But if you can decide on the two points above, it will help you resolve your decision.
Thanks alot sir...i wish this channel prosper alot and this channel actually is worth watching thanks again
@@ashavaishnav5343 Thanks a lot for your kind words. You can help by sharing my work and videos. And if you are in Delhi, we can meet and talk more. ✌️✌️
What is the ground clearance of the bike?
Very good ground clearance. You will have no problems in India.
Will this be good bike for beginner?????
No. This is NOT a good beginner's bike. This is certainly for advanced bikers.
The carbs look like amels very cleverly thaught out love mine to bits in my life i have owned 58 motorcycles and this the one out of my top ten
Yes keep it in rain mode and you will be fine
@@timothyreynolds3005 Probably yes. Funnily never rode it in rain mode despite torrential downpours. 😃😃
@@timothyreynolds3005 I can totally relate to that.
Thank you for review ,i’m gonna buy this motorcycle ,but wondering how it is driving handling for new driver (it is gonna be first bike )
Too expencive for maintance?
A new bike will never be too expensive for maintenance. Triumph gives good value. However you need to check in your country, in forums if the Triumph after sales service is good. In India it is superb, one of the best.
What bike have you ridden before? Because you see, this bike is a torque monster. Little touch of the throttle and the bike just shoots forward. One has to be a little careful if you haven't handled such torque before. I'm talking about the Thruxton R.
Krishnendu Kes i got experience only with russian bikes,so it means i don’t have any xp lol
@@Arch1301 If you can give me the performance numbers of the Russian bikes, I can tell you how early and easily you will adapt.
Krishnendu Kes minsk and voshod )
two bike experience 15 years ago
How is traction on rain?
Let us not even begin to talk about it, it is that good. And it should be with that torque.
Sir what is your height?and is it practical for a 5'6 guy like me???
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a comment. Because this is not a high motorcycle, I did not mention the height. But since you ask, I'm 165 cms, that is around 5 feet 6, same as you. Perfectly comfortable and easy bike to ride.
Let me know when you decide.
Thank-you very much for your reply....
@@loyalsingha Anytime. 🙏🙏
@@KrishnenduKes I'm your height and 66 years old. I manage quite well.
@@richardwanamaker9080 Awesome sir. Thank you so much for your comment. Feel honoured to have you visiting my channel. :)
rider whose having the height 5'7 can survive ??
I am 5'6, 166cms. I feel fine on the bike.
@@KrishnenduKes thanks big brother❤️
Is it tubeless or not?
Of course it is.
I guess thruxton discontinued now unfortunately
In India?
How mach its cost !!?
12.2L INR ex-showroom.
Sir your height
165 cms. 5'5".
Thank you for watching the video. 🙏🙏
@@KrishnenduKes thank you sir market rate & comfortable for long ride
@@subscribechannel5732 It is very comfortable for me. I have no problems riding long hours crouched on clip-ons. I have done 700 Kms with am R1.
As for the price, last I knew it was around INR13L ex-showroom.
How tall are you?
165 cms.
@@KrishnenduKes I am 201.5 cms do you think this bike would be too small for me? Awesome review by the way.
@@BadDrucifer Oh! If you are that tall, most bikes would look small under you. In that case, you should go for bikes like Tiger or Multistrada or the GS. If you do not care about how it would look, then go for what you would enjoy.
Bro bike to dikhai he nai 😏😥
Feel bad you are forced to have those godawful plates on your front
I know. Where are you from?
Because last I heard, in France they were talking about putting plates up front as well. 😀😀
Ducati cafe racer this better than this
Thank you for your comment. You mean the Ducati Scrambler? I would go with the Thruxton R honestly. Much better bike.
Show the bike most of the time, not ur face bro .
That is a great suggestion. Lol! I will keep that in mind.
