I have a diablo red 2016 Thruxton R that I bought new. During my ownership, I added the club racer fairing (and kept the original height clip-on risers). The fairing does do a lot for wind reduction.
First ...i agree the two colour options leave me cold also ....second...this video firms my view why never to buy a demonstrator bike!....The salesman and future owner of this bike would feel sick in the stomach watching this video....not quite the recommended 'gentle' running in process for a bike with one mile on the clock.
It’s a fair point. I always had the same attitude towards demos. Then I volunteered at the shop, bought a very hard ridden demo Speed Triple, and speaking to the tecs...they all say it’s overblown caution, when a bike is built like the new Thruxton it’s virtually bulletproof, those same tecs have a very harsh view of a new, unridden Ducati Supersport. But again, fair point. Check out calmoto’s vids...now that’s hard riding on new and demo bikes!
I have the 2019 Thruxton r . Absolutely in love with it. But no , bought the flyscreen it doesn't do shit to either. Protects the gauges , looks nice I think but that's all .
I don’t consider the 1200 cc Thruxton RS a beginner bike or first bike. Dirt bike experience would make a difference. It is, however, a smooth delivery of power and if you are comfortable on it, feet firmly on the ground as in it’s not too tall, be mindful of the sport mode and power of the bike, it’s aggressive seating, and spend time carefully getting used to it having already passed the MSC, it’s do-able.
@@poit444 ive done my MSF course and i have experience riding bike like 125cc yamaha. But im thinking to make a big leap to 1200. Is this bike hard to ride?
Oh man, it’s such a great, smooth running bike, not just to ride (honestly my Speed3 is better in performance) but also to have in the garage. It’s just beautiful art.
the price difference irrelevant to viewers whose are seeking to learn about the motor cycle and I feel as though you spent too much time criticizing the price and color (something thats totally dependent on the individual ) not trying to criticize just sounded like it was a video of you trying to convince yourself you made the right decision by going a year older to see some cash ( exactly what I would have done ) hope this helps with content creation.
@Jordan Adams-Respectfully, I'd disagree, a bit. I'm looking at the Thruxton, coming from a several cruisers, I have always loved the cafe style bikes. Granted both the R & the RS will out perform my Indian, but I'd like to know if the RS is worth the jump from the R, as I really do like the new color scheme & the extra HP is enticing for the RS...but as someone on a moderate budget, debating whether to save just a bit more & hold out. If you have any input on the 2, I'd greatly appreciate your opinion as well. Cheers bud.
@@poit444 IMO these duo tones matte/glossy finished are not fitting the overall classic bike look because they distract from the clean lines. It’s like your bike has ADHD!
taking out a brand new bike and pushing it up to 5-7000 U7/min is not quite fair

While I'm here and only bought ex demo bikes. Never had issues with them. Some of them come with extras fitted and still cheaper than a new stock bike

I was like wait a second I know that showroom. Used to work there.
6:28. I agree. Those are beautiful bikes deserving a nice paint job. The flat finish isn't good.
The gloss finish looks alot better imo.
Wow! Agrgessive style. I like it.
Phenomenal video!
I love this bike💜✨
How much is the price of Truimph Thruxton RS in USA with registration, insurance, and shipping cost??
The current sales price is $13,799 in Brea, CA. So add at least $2k for tax, lic, shipping, prep...I say otd is $16k.
@@poit444 Thanks man
BMW has one major advantage for my liking and that’s shaft drive.
Question, Im planning to buy it as my first bike do you think its a good idea?

@@HJRROSE I would put it in a mid-range or moderate level of difficulty. How tall the person is also matters.
I want one. Is this a good third bike?

And i thought Greece has bad roads...
Won’t be buying one with the current colour range 🤮
My Silver 2016 R looks better!
Damn right! What color?
Oh I see it, silver ice..I have the same from ‘18. It’s absolutely beautiful in Silver Ice and IMO you can only really appreciate in person.
