Magnificent Triumph Thruxton R

The Triumph Thruxton is an iconic British motorcycle with humble beginnings yet a very successful story. Taking a few simple Bonneville's off the production line and making them purpose built race bikes to enter in endurance racing, resulting in a complete lock-out of the podium, 1st 2nd and 3rd.
Thankfully Triumph has today still got the Thruxton as a model in its range and it has become so refined, classy, desirable and even iconic.
Here we look at just one such Triumph Thruxton in the R guise, but with the perfect color and the smallest of add-ons in the bubble fairing. British bike, british color, british name, looking like a sculpture...

Owner of a 2017 silver Ice. Going on 30,000 miles. It's my daily commuter. The fun begins when walking up to it. The daily compliments from young to old. At '5 7" it's hard on the wrist .Looking for a noticeable upgrade? Change the stock exhaust. Very happy I went with such a beautiful classy machine.

How reliable has it been for 30,000 miles?

[@Tuckerthewigglebuttaussie]

@@Spartansrule118 In 30,000 miles I have followed the recommended maintenance and have not had any problems.

[@particleinthewave8378]

I really wanted the Thruxton but bought a 2019 T120 because of the pain in the wrists. Love my Bonnie but still drool over the Thruxton

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I had Meerkat exhaust in Australia make a set of Norton style exhausts for mine. I have a video of it on my channel if you are interested.

[@particleinthewave8378]

That competition green is my fav. Such a beauty!

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I've had my 2016 Thruxton R since June 2016 and love mine. It is great for weekend rides, drag and land speed racing. The engine is very durable and will pull about any kind of gearing you want. I decided to change from Silver Ice after six years candy apple red with gold leaf stripes.

Wow, that sounds proper in those colors 👌

My dream bike! It's a stunner

Good review mate. Silver Ice (colour) for me. Best "retro" cafe racer bike ever.

[@tomswanepoel8178]

I have a red one with out the torpedo fairing and it is a sublime ride . i am still infatuated with it every time I ride it . Good review

[@route21garage]

Thank you so much 🙏

Beautiful video. Well done, friend.

Thank you so much 🙏

My neighbour just bought one of the Chrome edition Thruxton RS. It looks and sounds amazing. Not a fan of the partial fairing but that's a matter of taste I guess. :-)

[@bonwana2275]

Good review. You have good taste. Awesome colour. I really like the new colours which are black and Green /Silver. I am getting a Thruxton in a few months time. Until then I just keep watching youtube reviews lol.

[@route21garage]

Thank you 🙏
You will love this bike 👌👌

I waiting for may thruxton rs now one of the last one triumph make .

[@nounoufriend1442]

I have the standard 1200 Thruxton without the ohlins suspension/ Gold forks ect , picked it up really cheap as got 53k miles on clock and been through a few winters (it shows) but engine sounds sweet . In process of cleaning up and fixing things atm . I had a budget for used 900 Thruxton but this came along cheaper , done pads rear disc , chain/sprockets , tyre and loads of cleaning . I think the 1200 is massive improvement on the 900 in performance , handling and looks , the engine really does look like the original Bonneville , don't think 900 pulls it off

[@route21garage]

Awesome Machine 👌👍🏻

[@andrewslagle1974]

Great review. I was just looking at an all stock used 2016 R at my local triumph dealer. I have wanted one for years .Is there any truth to the starter casting breaking problem or is it fixed in the later models ?

[@route21garage]

I would not consider that a truth. As far as I know and hear from my SA Triumph importer we had no issues as such here

[@nounoufriend1442]

Starter casting breaking is only on the older air cooled 865 cc (900) engine , the 1200 water cooled is a totally new engine , starter system is totally different on 1200 . There is a safe start mod kit to prevent pinion failing on the older air-cooled 900

[@josepgarciahidalgo9477]

I got the same motorcycle...but can you tell me what means the green light that appears in your speedometer? I don't remember having it in mine..... thanks!

[@route21garage]

Is it not the Neutral light for gear selection

[@josepgarciahidalgo9477]

@@route21garage I mean the one that appears in the right bottom of the right speedometer....

[@kartoffelpommes3138]

@@josepgarciahidalgo9477 That is the daytime-running LED light. You can change between DRL or Main Beam.

Is the wheels set up for tubeless tires really?

[@stephencarbajal5657]

Aren't these made in India or owned by a india company still produced in the original triumph plant?

[@VictorVictor-hq7ui]

Lovely bike. I've had one for years, but the build quality is questionable.
