New BSMC Triumph Thruxton!

- Remember when Dutch had that lovely Triumph T100?
Ever wondered if he misses it?
...Well although he loved his 2016 Triumph Thruxton Café Racer, he's been secretly hankering after something that looked like his original D&O Bonnie but with the benefits of that Triumph 1200 belter of an engine and the upgraded Ohlins suspension, so he let loose and re-imagined the 'Hoxton' with the help of the boys at Down & Out Motorcycles. The result is a hybrid between the Thruxton and the Bobber.
So, is he nuts, or is it The Nuts?
Check out why he did it, and how it turned out...
Thanks to Down and Out Motorcycles for delivering yet another stunning build!

BSMC features the most beautiful machinery I have seen in my entire life.
I always fancied the idea of flat bars on a Thruxton too!
Love it. Great idea that works. Those 3d renderings are incredibly well done.
Exhaust sound is amazing!
Wow I love it! That is fresh! You've started something there Dutch (again... ) - Wow the Hoxton Throbber......I want one!!! You are a genius!
You nailed it. It’s a beautiful balance of sport, retro and custom style. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Wow the bike looks now as if it worked out for several months, great look and sound.
That is one cool ride, Triumph need to see that and start building them + cut you a deal for coming up with the concept lol. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
That bike looks and sounds great, well done
Looks and sounds superb. Well described video 👍
I like what you've done I always thought to get a T100 or the Thruxton R and now I can get a Thruxton and bring it to a T100 with better suspensions, weels, engine and brakes a very master piece job my compliments
I've been toying with the idea of doing the bar conversion to my Thruxton R for quite some time but everyone has said it'd be sacrilege. But that finish looks so clean. Decisions.
There is so much scope to customise these stunning motorcycles, I love seeing the unique variations as a fellow owner.The seating position is one of the least favourable things about the model. People think Thruxtons are about the look but you need to feel comfortable on such a wonderful machine and if changing handlebars helps you enjoy it more then how can that be sacrilegious? They are pretty to look st but marvellous to ride.
@Archimedes I did this to mine before my Europe round tour and it was the best thing I've done to it yet. It still looks kick ass and I feel It's even better at cornering, not to mention the increase in comfort which is substantial. Would recommend this to anyone who love the old thrux but want a bit more usability out of it.
Steffen Morris did you need to change the foot peg position to make this stances ergonomics work? I’m considering this change and wanted. Ore info on it.
@@ryanw1223 Sorry for late comment. But no...Footpegs are perfect as is;)
@@steffenmorris3983 I’d love to see pics!
It is beautiful and sounds fantastic
Caferacer version of the Hoxton was very beautiful but this one is good too. You are right bikes that have clip ons are not user friendly as the handlebared ones for daily use.
Amazing look. Love it.
Awesome bike! Good job
Very interesting as always, thanks
Fabulous - that's the bike I wish Triumph would make, I'd love one! Thanks for posting - a beautiful machine......
maybe they will... ;)
Exactly the look I'm after ✨❤️✨
Dutch, you've nailed it! This is the new Speed Twin! 👌
Aye... I was going to call it that, but apparently the name was taken.
Nicceeeeeee. Sounds awesome!!! 👌
nice,, i have always wanted a triumph,,beautiful bike!
Bloody fantastic bike and a great tribute to the triumphs of the past with the triumph of the future as the basis for the build great promotion for British bikes and idea's I've got a 2008 speed triple and carbon fibre, titanium and oz forged wheels it's my enjoyment changing it and my first British bike from 20 plus years of gsxr s had it 2 years now 👍grateful for the videos 😁
Looks great
Bike looks and sounds fantastic 👍
Beautiful!
Im in love all over again... What a bike!
Brother, that is a beautiful bike.
Gorgeous bike! Love the Thruxton such a beautiful retro. However, still love spirited riding to much to give up my Street Triple 765 RS.
Gorgeous!!!
Amazing machine!!
Very nice!
Loved better how it used to be. It was great looking. But hey, that's me :)
If I could have both I would. Dutch
Best looking, truimph I seen, love it.
Clearly a man of great taste! (Dutch)
Bike Shed Motorcycle Club 😄👍🏼
I cannt say I'm a fan of this. But glad at least someone tried it!
Man, I would love to have a bike like that. I’m working on a 78 Suzuki sp370 but I don’t think I can ever get it to where I want to.
NICE thruxton 👍💖👊
Awesome looking bike Dutch, nearly sounds as good as your street scrambler but not quite
Beauty!
I'm not a huge fan of Triumph but I am of this bike. The best Triumph I have ever seen.
Very nice. I’d like a Thruxton with low rise bars but until now I hadn’t seen a top yoke that kept the same drop from the Headstock nut to the top of the forks. Others are straight/flat and that changes the geometry. These look like they retain the original dimensions.
The boys at D&O know what they're doing.
very nice
Amazing
I think triumph will eventually build a thruxton with the more upright riding position, seem to remember reading in MCN earlier this year that this was on the cards....
They'd be crazy not to... ;)
Awesome conversion. I’m planning on doing the same handlebar conversion. Did you have to swap for longer throttle, brake and clutch cables?
Can you put links for parts used. bike looks amazing
I like the idea and think this works really well. Love the small details that down and out go into with the wiring etc. I’ve heard that getting rid of the xpipe or bend in the exhaust looses quite a lot of the torque, have you noticed that with these pipes? Also what make are the slip-ons? I desperately need to make my Street Twin louder. Cheers.
The bike feels, and fuels, so differently that I can't feel a loss of torque or power, but on these open pipes it feels much rougher, and the sport mode feels more on/off than before, so we have probably compromised the fuel mix. However, the bike has lost so much weight it feels much faster, so I'm ok with losses on paper-charts if the whole package is as much fun to ride - or better. ... I do hope to take the bike up to Chris at X-Bikes at some point as he did a great job on my old twins, and on the deBolex Ducati.
Hi guys, beautiful creation. Who produced the pipes and mufflers? Weblink? Thanks
Saw the bike in flesh last night. Great looking machine, i'd personally would like to see it a bit lower (as you mentioned) Bravo for being brave enough to give it a go, you must be pleased with the result.
Did you retain the balance pipe on the headers?
It's all on the vid - pipes are new and straight thru ;)
And, no balance pipe... Simple, light and gloriously noisy.
Love this but wish it had been a Thruxton R with the upsideown forks. I just love the Triump in the picturse to the right of this bike with high bars abd cross brace...... I need that bike
Wish I had a thruxton so you guys can customize it.
everything done the right way.... i am jealous
Hello Anyone at Hinckley headquarters, this is how you make a 1200 street twin. :-)
We think alike, this is exactly the same mods as I did to my BMW airhead.
Who makes, the Exhaust, Can’t I fit them in my T120 truimph 2018 ?
How could I make my t 120 bonnevvel, sound even a little closer to this? 😳
Did those tyres fit straight on or did you have to change the rims ? Did you need to make any mods to the forks etc
The bike sounds SEXY!!
Really nice bike. Do you know if the rear shocks (if I'm not wrong they are the stx36 blackline) can be mounted on a street scrambler?
Ohlins do a black-line setup for most of Triumph's modern classic.
Did you repaint the tank?
What brand, of silencer?
she a gorgeous bike bud, nicely set up on the bike nice clean look to, would you take off the air box and put on corns on it?
Not sure about that. The airbox also holds a lot of electrics and fuses, etc, so that would all have to go somewhere else, and I like the changeable seat setup. What I really want is to fit a free breathing aftermarket air filter, and design/3d print some slimmer side panels - similar to the JvB Moto ones I had on my old T100.
yah that will work 3d print, hope you do that and do a update has well that be cool to see, apart from that she still looks gorgeous and to ride nice
Dutch,I'm in the process of buying a 2017 thruxton ,and i would like to do the same as you .could you please tell me what you done and where i can find the bits .sorry if i was a bit long winded
See you later mate and take care, thanks again
Could you please explain the set you've used for the handelbar? I see you've used a lsl handelbar, but which one/model? Also removed the clipons. Did you also used the lsl set? If so, which one?
Thanks! : )
Looks lovely. Are you able to tell me where you got your seat reupholstered?
The guys at Down & Out have a lady they use in-house. However, you can get something just as good from Brian via racetag@outlook.com or Glen Moger, both in the South West.
Thanks!
I've got a pretty much untouched Standard Thruxton 1200 (apart from the usual led indicators, knee grips, barrel grips malarkey... I think it's great what you have done to the Hoxton... Just wondering are the headers the Scorpion H pipe? And are the standard headers / silencers that come with the bike polished Stainless Steel or chromed mild Steel... (Standard 1200). Can't find info on the net! Will be paying TBS another visit soon... :)
The scorpion pipes are good, but the kink-in and back out, and if I was using those I'd mate them to some SC Project end cans. These pipes are full brushed S/S and come via D&O's sources, which they keep to themselves.
wen you take the cat off what happens on the M O T ?
Is there a reason why you are not using the inverted forks that come with the Thruxton R? Amazing bike! Greetings from Brazil!
It’s the regular Thruxton. Not the Thruxton R. The regular Thruxton comes with basic suspension and normal brake callipers.
Correct - I like the Right way up forks, but - now with Ohlins fork inserts and Ohlins rear shocks.
Mmmmm ommm
Where are the mirrors?
I wish you explained a bit more about the exhaust, so are you saying you have no xpipe, and no cat now, just straight through pipe to end can?
Beautiful bike.
The exhaust is straight through with no cat and very little baffle. The airbox is standard but I'm slipping ion a performance filter when it arrives in the post. See my previous reply to "Driving On The Edge" about fuelling.
Are these exhausts gonna get me in trouble with the police? I m thinking about putting them on my triumph. What is the brand and model?
@@ClaudioMartella they have to catch you first,.. lol
these pipes will pass MOT if they are not overly loud for the type of motorcycle, which is subjective but we don't have absolute DB limits.
"The exhaust system and silencer should be in such condition, or of such a type, that the noise emitted from the motorcycle is not clearly unreasonably above the level expected from a similar motorcycle with a standard silencer in average condition."
So going on that Dutchie's bike is a likely fail.... haha
makes a lot of sense to have a 1200cc for city ride. Or not
Version 2.0. Not the same direction, but I like it. 🍻 good on ya
Dutch, I need your help. I have a Street Scrambler, but I can exchange it for a Thruxton R. I also live in a city and go out for tours occasionly. Tracks.. not so much. What would you do?
Best of both worlds?
Very possibly........certainly an Avenue I'd explore when the old 'Arthur Wrightees ' gets the better of me.
The only issue I have with your presentation, the list for weight saving.
It just puts me in mind of the days we used to drill holes in everything that could be drilled, (and one or two bits that couldnt/shouldn't)!
It saved as much weight as taking a leak to be honest.
Eliminating unnecessary complexity?
Maybe.
Weight saving?
Meh...........
Other than that, great looking bike, great option for the future, nice one.
I definitely saved a couple of dozen kilos on this bike. You can feel it in the box of parts removed, and you can really feel it moving the bike around the Bike Shed - on and off plinths, and around the arches. It now feels lighter than my stripped down street scrambler, whereas it used to take some proper 'hefting' to get it moving across a door frame or up a small step. ... I've swapped a double layer, double-linked, steel exhaust plus massive baffled end-can, complete with hugely heavy catalytic converter box that feel like a good 5 kilos alone, and now I have two single-skinned shorty pipes, unlinked, un-catted and un-baffled. ...and that's before you start counting up big heavy OEM fenders, tail/plate hangers, etc.
@@BikeShedMotoCo
Take your point......more success than a 17 year old me had with a BSA Lightning and a Black & Decker!
I concur re the de cat, it's a brute of a thing.
Great looking bike tho' and food for thought in the future.
❤
dream bike. sexy and eargasm
Does this new pipe set up need remap?
It would be better with a power commander and some dyno/mapping work, but it runs pretty well as it is.
What a shame. I have the thruxton 1200... one of the best bikes I've owned. I can't see how you take a perfect machine like the hoxton and do this to it but hey if you're happy with it...
It rides much better than you'd think, plus we've lost about 20kg. I want to take it on track.
Hey as long as you like it, that's cool. I was a big fan of the original. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.
Beautiful bike apart from the Hoxton tag on it.
Fuck! i love triumph motorcycles!
Hey Dan is my cx not getting on 😕
Alex Coker funny you should ask! We just posted it! Well done and thanks again!
are those straight through pipes legal?
They're not a crime, but they con't conform to certain modern homologation standards. If I was very unlucky I might get a rectification order, which could mean retro fitting some baffles, but the law isn't really that bothered by small misdemeanours on modern bikes that are generally safe, new, and being ridden with tax, insurance and due care.
@@BikeShedMotoCo thats good to know thank you =)
Are this Pipes legal in the UK??
Probably not, but I'll get away with them in London and in most situations - and they should pass an MOT.
You talked about lightening the bike but never quite got around to telling us what it weighs.
So the $64,000 question is: how heavy is it? (I'm guessing 420-430lbs)
Me? I wish Triumph would produce a SuperLeggera model - with 100bhp and weighing no more than 350lbs max.
I haven't weighed the bike, (I don't have scales that big) but I have a big box of plastic and heavy metal parts that weighs at least 30kg, and the parts I have replaced them with weigh less than half - plus the bike feels much lighter to move around and to ride. ...It's a very easily noticeable difference.
Love the thruxton don’t love the price 😢
Hmm... Bobber wheels, so now it´s a Boxton then!?
Think I jizzed a little
Fair enough, it's your bike but I could never put tyres like that on any bike I owned . Just the aesthetics look totally wrong from my perspective.
Isn't the front tire mounted the wrong way? It looks like it will direct the water under the tire
MEES_ nope it’s correct. Can see why you’d think that but it’s got something to do with it called momentum force. Further reading here, it’s actually pretty interesting learning about the physics behind it. [Dan].

Thanks. That was interesting. Anyway, love the bike and greetings from amsterdam

Nice bike, but good luck seeing anything coming from behind without mirrors. I don’t get the “it’s got to be clean” look before safety. No mirrors and minimal lighting is not safe.
Hi Johnny, Very sensible advice, thank you for your concerns. I've been riding in London every day for about 30 years, mostly without mirrors, and I've been ok so far, using proper observation and life-savers, but I do currently use a mirror on my daily ride - which this bike is not. ... Despite the "smallness" of the design, my lighting is far from minimal with LEDS are the brighter than the OEM lighting. I agree that bright indicators are essential. When it comes to safety, we all need all the help we can get, but to be frank, riding a motorcycle is relatively unsafe, full stop. Keep it upright. Dutch.
Dutch. It wasn’t my intention to come off as a grump. If so I apologize. I like your channel and admire the builds you do and would love to visit the Shed someday. Keep safe. Cheers mate!
No problem at all Johnny. The comments section is for Comments after all. We are happy to respond as appropriate and no offence taken. Please come and see us soon.
London City streets under 50-mph,.. err hmm
you meant to say under 20-mph, right?
I've also been speaking to Ohlins, but so far they haven't been kind enough to gift me any of their suspension products. Which is their loss really as I would love to say nice things about their blackout front USD forks to my army of 8-Insta followers.
LOL you “don’t really have spare money”... yeah right
Tvs
may I ask what is up with the seat on the old T100? There is a piece of frame sticking out?? Quite unprofessional in my opinion.. don’t get why you think you’d get away with this kind of attention to detail
Do you mean the frame loop at the back of the bike, that goes beyond the seat? ...This is a styling choice, popular with brat-style and cafe racer customs. It retains the length of the bike, despite the seat being shorter.
or you might be looking at the numberplate hanger, with no plate, from the original PR photos, which do look odd in one or two photos.
Hey thanks for your response. Yes I meant the frame loop. Most (or actually all of the bikes) I see on this channel are built with high attention to detail. This frame loop looked like an unfinished one to me. But yeah, I think I just don’t get it.
This new “Hoxton” on the other hand looks just absolutely amazing and very finished so to say hehe. So big kudos!
Thanks, I love it more and more every time I have another ride on it. I can't believe it turns so well on those fat wheels. I'm overjoyed.
I love the bike but half the video is about bikes prior. Just get to the point please.
We find the WHY usually makes the WHAT more interesting.
@@BikeShedMotoCo its such a good video put together however im always hard up on time so it gets frustrating having to wait to hear the point. Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.
We get that. Thanks for comments tho. We do try to please everyone if we can.
Ruined it
