Too bad I didn't know Jocelin Snow's #onefootdown trick when I rode this bike - it would've been much easier for me to handle! Better late than never :D After learning about this, I've ridden many more litre bikes since then. Check them out in this playlist here: bit.ly/FTRSLitreBikeReviews Let me know what else you'd like to see me test ride down below!
Oh man... can you tell that I accidentally deleted ALL but ONE clip of my ride review on this Thruxton RS? Hopefully I was able to hide that disaster with enough pictures and clips from the other 2 videos from #TriumphImmersion D': See the rest of the Triumph Immersion Trilogy here bit.ly/TriumphImmersionTrilogy
I would buy an ssd, if you have an android get like a samsung or sandisk drive Superfast upload and keep the backup until you're done uploading. They're tiny only a little bigger than a usb thumb drive. I keep mine in my pocket plug it into my phone
Riding in motorcycle is like you are free like a bird. You can go wherever you want like you flying in the sky. I feel too much excitement and this is the best medicine if you are bored in you life.
omg awesome, congrats!! :D I know I wish I would've remembered to mention in the video "I wasn't thinking of making this video... but then derrick called me out on instagram" :'D
I've been loving my Triumph. I'm on an 02 Triumph Bonneville America, almost 20 years old, but STILL runs totally smooth. I really enjoy being on it. So fun!
I got my thruxton RS two months ago. I’ve already invested $1500 into parts lol! The great thing about this bike is that you can be a hooligan on it, or if you want you can take it easy. I got my 2020 RS used with 1300 miles on the clock, cost $13,000. Considering a new bike would have been almost $18,000 out the door, and the modern 2022 models are the same as the 2020, it made sense to buy used. The thing is practically brand new in every way. If you ask me, it’s the best thing since sliced bread! 😂👍
These bikes are RAD on the track. Nimble and torquey. I ride with super sports in the canyons and it more than keeps up. Watch the 44 teeth review if you want to see it flogged around the canyons
I test rode the Bonneville Speedmaster out at Freewheelin' and that's the most comfortable I've been on a bike. The sitting position, the bars, mid-controlls, it all just works. I enjoy your vids. Good job.
@ 3.54 you said the Thruxton, Scrambler, & the Street Cup are all new bikes. Actually, the Scrambler came out in the 60's! Sometime during the intervening yrs, Triumph stopped production, I guess. The Scrambler was back during the early 2000's, as I was going to buy one, and the Dealer had 3 in stock, in Scottsdale AZ. Of course, that was after I checked online to see if they were still being manufactured. Anyway, Thank you for the Reviews!
Wish I never got rid of my Sprint ST Joanna! I share your love and obsession of this classic British marque. Ride safe....stay safe! From a fan in Pittsburgh
Doodle, I’ve always loved Triumph Motorcycles. Nice review of the Thruxton RS. You can see how much you loved riding it in your photos. Your smile told all. What you said at the end you’re 100% right. Happy Easter my friend.
😢 I sold my 2016 red Thruxton R. I loved the bike but at 6’1” It was a bit too cramped for me and needed luggage for work commute. Fantastic engine!! Ironically got the R nine T Scrambler and love it.
I LOVE my 2007 Triumph T 100 Bonneville! I wanted a Bonneville since the early 1980s. I can honestly say my Bonneville is my dream bike. Once you go Triumph, you never go back.
I DID OWE A TRUMPET SLANG IN NYC THOSE BIKES HAD BALLS EXCUSE MY FRENCE I LIKE THEIR SOUND THUMP THUNDEROUS SOUND TO IT. TRIUMPHS DEMAINATATED DA STREETS IN DA 1960S I HAD A 1970 650 T -120 BONNEVILLE NON BATTERY MODEL BUT I BOUGHT IT AS A LERAN TO RIDE WITH A BATTERY AND A CAPICITOR ATTACH IN SERIES JUST IN CASE IF THEY WOULD STILL MY BATTERY I CAN PULL OF MY POCKET DA CAPCITOR AND START JUMP DA BIKE WEN I VAME FROM DA LIRR RAIL ROAD. I REALLY ENJOYED DA TRUMPET ITS MORE MY SIXE THEN MY 94 FLSTF FATBOY. I LIKE GOING FROM 2 nd GEAR INTO 3.&4 BUT IT DOES VIBRATE MORE THEN HD A HARLEY.
Hi Doodle, what amazing opportunities your channel has opened up for you, a dream trip to Arizona!, on Triumph, it just shows your worth!, and i fully believe your love for Triumph, I can still remember the love for my 1950 Triumph Tiger! love never dies, and i agree, the Thruxton is gorgeous, and, as you found, surprisingly light, for a 1200cc machine, and you've just shown me my dream bike, there's no harm in dreaming!
Wow, cool bike doodle! And comparing it to a Bonniville. They were an awesome bike! And very cool for triumph to fly you out and say, here you go, check this out! Awesome trip, I’m happy for you. Keep riding! Keep smiling! Ride safe!
I like all motorcycles and that's a beauty,my current bike is a 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 triple,I have had all different kinds throughout my life and this is so far my favorite,my first Triumph and it's just awesome.
2:00 So funny I was going thru that a few weeks ago, being a happy owner of a Triumph, every other bike I've test rode didn't feel as refined and solid as my ride. Still have a lot of bike to test out, but it's more more feeling like I'll stick with Triumph.
I share your unabashed love of Triumphs Doodle. My first & main bike is a 2018 Indian Springfield but anytime I get a chance to ride my 2019 Speed Twin I'm on it; just can't get enough of it. I too tried about a dozen bikes before buying the ST and "all-around", best bike ever! T120 was too sluggish/stodgy and the Thruxton was too uncomfortable, but the ST was absolutely perfect. Love your vids!
love the twin ohlins shocks.....my first dirt bikes were twin shocks, lol......kinda trippy how old school bikes are hip right now....i remember this style when i was young and it was the latest and greatest .....that is probably more of a trip...... in many decades ive ridden motorcycles.........suspension, tires and brakes is what really makes or breaks a machine....the bikes are all so good but these factors seperate the machines....pick chassis that best suits your need, i amost bought a triumph but dealers are being a bit greedy so have new ktm on the way
Came across your channel by accident and loving your reviews. Great to find someone who loves Triumph as much as me…Keep making great videos…thanks from 🇦🇺🎬🏍
I made a comment once that flat footing is better. In which i still believe. But if you want a variaty of choice learning how to hobble is a must. If your 6ft its never a problem but smaller people shouldnt be restricted or limited because of that. In citys it can be annoying especially after a long ride i know. But if the bike you like and feel most comfortable on means you have to prepare yourself before stopping, So be it. It will be yours and a thing of beauty to its owner. I have had 3 Triumphs myself and now on a 2016 Rocket 3. I flat foot no probs but its long and is awkward to manouver. I cant throw it in like ive always been used to, But ive got used to that. Nothing slows it down that engine just pulls so Just hang on when its windy. But for those long rides i just love it. For that engine is effortless. I also feel the same about BMW,s. They are an exellent well made Bike, But i just cannot get used to that sticky out engine.
Wow really cool descriptions, your a good , interesting communicator. Also a lover of Triumph motorcycles! I owned a few and I still do. I had a 2012 Triumph Street Triple R, an amazing bike. Other Triumphs I've owned, 2004 Sprint ST. Now I have. 2015 Tiger XRX and a really great bike a 2019 Triumph Speed Twin, a good handler and looker.
I wish I lived out west! Triumph doesnt get much recognition here in Western NY but I hope I can grow my channel enough to get people on these bikes 👍 keep up the good work
Great review! I have always loved Triumphs, such classic bikes! The only downside is the price and cost of service and repairs but, as you said, it is an upscale brand and that is to be expected. No different than running a Harley or an Aprilia.
Doodle I did not mean to offend you on the other post! BTW the Thruxton makes 107hp the V Max and R1 make approximately 200. Just a tiny bit higher performance and more difficult to handle at full throttle. Riding them gives quite a rush! Enjoy if you dare but please don't hurt yourself.
great review... I have about 150mi on mine... I love it. Actually... everyday, before I take it out for a spin... I practice slow speed maneuvers, u-turns, figure 8s and the such. Such a joy taming the ole girl who initially had a tendency to "buck" my attempts to slow her down and perform the more mundane tasks. So... after a 10-15 minute session of slow speeds... I reward her and myself with a nice country road jaunt. I also have fun modding her myself as well. Im plan to do all the basic maintenance as part of the total ownership experience. Thanks for the review, it was partly responsible for my choosing to buy it.... eh-hem... as my first bike... at 59. OH YEAH BABY... MID-LIFE INVENTORY IN FULL SWING. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Nice video Doodle.. your Triumph passion comes through my monitor so no you are not bias. Ok.. I am gonna take a look at these Triumph machines again... Peace
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle You mentioned in your review that you didn't think the bike would be good for slow speed skills or longer rides, if I understood you right. I was wondering why.
@@autumngreenleaf3390 Oooh - just because it's so pretty I would hate to drop it while practicing slow speed skills , and then packing it full for a long camping trip or something seems odd - doesn't look like its made for it - but you could do both if you wanted. Just my preference.
It is a given that Triumph and BMW owners are very loyal to their brand; yours is Triumph. Mine is BMW. I think the Thruxton R is a superb machine but to imply the BMW boxer engine is not smooth? And although the engine is "wide" that has no impact when you sit on it. The R9T weighs less, has a lower centre of gravity, more hp and torque and no fuss shaft drive. I think you should do a side by side ride comparison. Just for fun. With respect from 🇨🇦
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle You are obviously very light in weight and unless suspension tuned for your weight it would be quite harsh. The BMW dealership would not set up the suspension for each test ride(r). I think you should do a side by side comparison of the Thruxton R and the R9T from the perspective of a short legged relatively new female rider. I much rather her that perspective than the typical testosterone driven reviews that are the norm.
@@lylemacdonald6672 Oooh interesting! It's been a couple years since I rode the R9T.... but back then I thought it wa awkwardly wide and not as smooth as Triumphs. But I could see a buff Jack-Ryan type of guy enjoying it - the Thruxton I feel like is more sleek and nimble
Sooo. Now that you are familiar with the triple engine and the parallel twin, what do you like better? Why? I almost went with the Speed Twin but I already have a twin in the Triumph Thunderbird. Thoughts?
Triumph bikes are soooo smooth and the more you roll the throttle the more they pull. No oh crap power band to accidentally hit and scare the bleep out of yourself and then quit riding because you had a bad experience. You need to come to Oregon we have it all every type of road wide flat to mountain twisters to give you a grin from ear to rear.
Hey I ride dirt bikes but have really been enjoying your videos, you give a lot of useful riding tips that can be helpful for mx too!! Your trip looks like fun I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Doodle You LOVED the Street Cup! The Thruxton R is just the BIG brother with WAY more cool stuff included like 1200 cc, totally adjustable Race suspension and Brembo 4 piston brakes. I can imagine you on this motorcycle!. This motorcyle has Un-Godly torque up to 160 mph! This bike defines "Streetable'.
Good to see you're making some videos during the lockdown. $600, seems expensive for the first service. What does that service entail? I learned how to do the basic service on my Moto Guzzi V7iii so I didn't have to pay those crazy dealer fees. With the Moto Guzzi it's pretty simple... you just change some fluids and check the valve clearance. I understand the desire to take it to the dealer for that first service, make sure everything is done right. They should cut you a better deal on servicing since you're practically an ambassador for the brand. I was actually looking for a used Bonneville when I stumbled across a deal I couldn't resist on a used 2017 Moto Guzzi. I like the Moto Guzzi a lot but I still really want a Triumph.
@@joedoe114 Are you asking how much the bike was or how much would I charge to do you first service? : ) I paid 6 grand (which included free delivery from 300 miles away.) It's a 2017 Moto Guzzi V7iii Special with 3500 miles on it. It's a really nice bike. Found it on facebook marketplace. I could have found a used Bonneville for that price, but not a 2017 model, which is the one I really like. I'd like to get a 2017 (or newer) Bonneville at some point. I've always been fond of Triumphs.
@@daveco1270 Lol... not the service Dave..the Guzzi. Yeah you got a deal with delivery included. I've got a '13 Stone and sometimes I'm desiring something faster but I'm getting so many compliments on it besides I enjoy it a lot. And how much faster do I need to go? I normally do 70 traffic permitting...or 100 on open road which is enough. I'd like to smell the roses😉 Ah.. I forgot to mention the sound of it... Mistrals without baffles!
everything they cover is about 2 pages long... so instead of writing it all here, i'll just let you know it's in on page 66-67 of the service manual www.triumph675.net/Daytona675-owners-manual.pdf and it includes computer diagnostics accessible only by a certified Triumph center so I am 100% going to continue to do my service at a certified dealer no matter the cost
Excellent, as always. Obsessed? Maybe, but that’s not such a bad thing. We like what we like. Stay safe, ride often, and stay positive (except for COVID).
You CAN and SHOULD use front brake on gravel. You just can’t GRAB front brake on gravel. Take an off road course and get proficient off road-very important. Sooner or later you will have to ride off road if you ride enough. Thanks for the review Doodle.
The Thruxton is a fascinating offering, but based on too narrow a sampling, here’s my observation: The longer one owns a Thruxton the more it’s farkled into a Speed Twin. The bars get a tad higher, the pegs a tad lower, the seat a tad more comfortable. I suspect if Triumph has a “sober second thought swap” program six months after a Thruxton purchase, they’d sell a lot of Speed Twins.
I should have elaborated :(. I am newer to motorcycle riding and you mentioned not to touch the front brake on gravel. I think it might be ok if you use a very light touch, have ABS, or otherwise avoid locking the wheel. However, I don't know this for sure about gravel because I am new. I was wondering if you recalled back to know if maybe the bike promptly laid down because the wheel locked.
Oh yea forgot I had that oldie in there - yea it was for using the front brake on gravel. Don’t know about the other questions, though, some dirt riders could probably answer that one
I've been eyeing this baby ... just to be clear, the Thruxton..ok and a little of you. for this coming summer.:) The bike just looks right for my speed and taste.
Being very familiar with your skill level, the Thruxton is way more bike than you need. In addition, with the lean forward and legs back riding position, you wouldn't be very comfortable after a couple hours of riding. The Speed twin would be a better choice though with 96 HP and only 420 lbs, it too could be a hand full for you. In the Triumph line, the Street Twin would be a much better bike for you. Or, since you go off roading occasionally, all be it, not on purpose, the 900 Scrambler. Just my 2 cents. As usual your video was very entertaining and fun to watch.
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Quando hay toros...no hay toreros. Y quando hay toreros...no hay toros (old Swedish proverb...it could be Romanian also I don't remember exactly)😜 Stay safe Ms. Doodle
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Well... Bulls are from Sweden and bullfighters are from Romania. They just happen to cross paths somewhere in Andalusia and the rest is history 😜
I'm no soyboy but I like hearing your perspective as a woman (because they can often notice different things). The heat comfort issue is one that is often neglected by reviewers - but never forget to mention the ambient temperature when you were riding as well. Take care.
Wow...you so damned lucky...however so am I to own both a 2017 Thruxton 1200 R and a 2020 Speed Triple 1050 RS. I totally agree with how smooth the Triumphs are to ride. You can use a front brake on gravel however it takes some Technical know how and practice which is best done on a dirt or light bike at first with your foot out MX style just in case.
Too bad I didn't know Jocelin Snow's #onefootdown trick when I rode this bike - it would've been much easier for me to handle! Better late than never :D After learning about this, I've ridden many more litre bikes since then. Check them out in this playlist here: bit.ly/FTRSLitreBikeReviews

Nice review I love my thruxton 900 really appreciate the premium quality .
Triumph really checks all the boxes across its model line up.
I just picked up this motorcycle and I'm absolutely in love.
Jealous much
The triumph is beautiful and because you said that it is so smooth I want to go test drive one thank you !

I get it !! My 16 Thruxton R is a jewel, Kenny
Great new tip learned for my new riding self. No front break on gravel! Thanks for that
Thank you very much!! Good video Doodle!! You know Triumph for sure!!

I’m trying to decide which Triumph. Street Triple vs Trident vs Thruxton. I love all three. Thruxton looks trumps them all look wise.

Great video , great review , great to find your page 🌟🌟✌️✌️💪💪❤️❤️
Which is more fun..the Thruxton or the 675r/765?
Mmm... 765 in the curves, Thruxton through town!
I bought the Speed Twin vs the Thruxton. Same engine and performance. Slightly lighter and 3k less.
Two Triumphs that really appeal to me are the Speed Twin and the Scrambler 1200.

Hmm... I don't know... I think the 3 cylinders seem to feel a little smoother for some reason
Thank you for the awesome review,
Keep em' coming Doodle great video...nice shout out Yammie Noob gave you!
That is one gorgeous bike.
Triumph bikes are soooo smooth and the more you roll the throttle the more they pull. No oh crap power band to accidentally hit and scare the bleep out of yourself and then quit riding because you had a bad experience. You need to come to Oregon we have it all every type of road wide flat to mountain twisters to give you a grin from ear to rear.
I like Triumph Bonneville 650 it was a wonderful machine
Hey I ride dirt bikes but have really been enjoying your videos, you give a lot of useful riding tips that can be helpful for mx too!! Your trip looks like fun I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

You LOVED the Street Cup! The Thruxton R is just the BIG brother with WAY more cool stuff included like 1200 cc, totally adjustable Race suspension and Brembo 4 piston brakes. I can imagine you on this motorcycle!. This motorcyle has Un-Godly torque up to 160 mph! This bike defines "Streetable'.
Thanks for the info and thanks for sharing the video.... Stay healthy... Much love...
Good to see you're making some videos during the lockdown. $600, seems expensive for the first service. What does that service entail? I learned how to do the basic service on my Moto Guzzi V7iii so I didn't have to pay those crazy dealer fees. With the Moto Guzzi it's pretty simple... you just change some fluids and check the valve clearance. I understand the desire to take it to the dealer for that first service, make sure everything is done right. They should cut you a better deal on servicing since you're practically an ambassador for the brand. I was actually looking for a used Bonneville when I stumbled across a deal I couldn't resist on a used 2017 Moto Guzzi. I like the Moto Guzzi a lot but I still really want a Triumph.
How much Dave?
@@joedoe114 Are you asking how much the bike was or how much would I charge to do you first service? : ) I paid 6 grand (which included free delivery from 300 miles away.) It's a 2017 Moto Guzzi V7iii Special with 3500 miles on it. It's a really nice bike. Found it on facebook marketplace. I could have found a used Bonneville for that price, but not a 2017 model, which is the one I really like. I'd like to get a 2017 (or newer) Bonneville at some point. I've always been fond of Triumphs.
@@daveco1270 Lol... not the service Dave..the Guzzi. Yeah you got a deal with delivery included. I've got a '13 Stone and sometimes I'm desiring something faster but I'm getting so many compliments on it besides I enjoy it a lot. And how much faster do I need to go? I normally do 70 traffic permitting...or 100 on open road which is enough. I'd like to smell the roses😉
Ah.. I forgot to mention the sound of it... Mistrals without baffles!
everything they cover is about 2 pages long... so instead of writing it all here, i'll just let you know it's in on page 66-67 of the service manual www.triumph675.net/Daytona675-owners-manual.pdf and it includes computer diagnostics accessible only by a certified Triumph center so I am 100% going to continue to do my service at a certified dealer no matter the cost
Excellent, as always. Obsessed? Maybe, but that’s not such a bad thing. We like what we like. Stay safe, ride often, and stay positive (except for COVID).
You CAN and SHOULD use front brake on gravel. You just can’t GRAB front brake on gravel. Take an off road course and get proficient off road-very important. Sooner or later you will have to ride off road if you ride enough. Thanks for the review Doodle.
Stunning bike, looks so... sophisticated
Great video, Doodle! A very interesting viewpoint for recommending a motorcycle.
Keep those videos coming.
Stay healthy AND Ride Safely!
I like the new look, Triumph do make nice bikes.
The Thruxton is a fascinating offering, but based on too narrow a sampling, here’s my observation: The longer one owns a Thruxton the more it’s farkled into a Speed Twin. The bars get a tad higher, the pegs a tad lower, the seat a tad more comfortable. I suspect if Triumph has a “sober second thought swap” program six months after a Thruxton purchase, they’d sell a lot of Speed Twins.
It is great to see another female who loves bikes.
I like this bike.
Beautiful bike!
Wow nice motorbike idol thank you for sharing your ride review one friend here watching your video from Philippines
Beautiful Doodle. If only I was three decades younger haha ;-)
hey doodle! what software do you use to edit your videos?
Hi Nahnii! I use iMovie, it’s free if you have a mac.
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle thanks. I found a Windows equivalent 😉
When you went down on the gravel, did you lock up the front wheel?
Wasn’t riding it, me and another girl were walking it back
@ 6:35?
I should have elaborated :(. I am newer to motorcycle riding and you mentioned not to touch the front brake on gravel. I think it might be ok if you use a very light touch, have ABS, or otherwise avoid locking the wheel. However, I don't know this for sure about gravel because I am new. I was wondering if you recalled back to know if maybe the bike promptly laid down because the wheel locked.
Oh yea forgot I had that oldie in there - yea it was for using the front brake on gravel. Don’t know about the other questions, though, some dirt riders could probably answer that one
Doodle On A Motorcycle 🙂
Great content! Keep it up 👍. Your hair looks so nice btw!
I've been eyeing this baby ... just to be clear, the Thruxton..ok and a little of you. for this coming summer.:) The bike just looks right for my speed and taste.
Damn that is a beautiful bike!! Its awesome you got to go to this event :) great job!
Doodle i love you. Keep going
Being very familiar with your skill level, the Thruxton is way more bike than you need. In addition, with the lean forward and legs back riding position, you wouldn't be very comfortable after a couple hours of riding. The Speed twin would be a better choice though with 96 HP and only 420 lbs, it too could be a hand full for you. In the Triumph line, the Street Twin would be a much better bike for you. Or, since you go off roading occasionally, all be it, not on purpose, the 900 Scrambler. Just my 2 cents. As usual your video was very entertaining and fun to watch.
So I have a similar story. Aprilia flew me to Cali...but left me there! I'm in the process of making it back to NYC😂
LOL
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Quando hay toros...no hay toreros. Y quando hay toreros...no hay toros (old Swedish proverb...it could be Romanian also I don't remember exactly)😜
Stay safe Ms. Doodle
@@joedoe114 LOL are you sure that's not a Spanish proverb? :P
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle Well... Bulls are from Sweden and bullfighters are from Romania. They just happen to cross paths somewhere in Andalusia and the rest is history 😜
Such a classy bike... would love to have this as a Sunday rider but Id probably choose the Bobber Black over this.
You did good on this review doodle that is a very cool bike
Great video ,,really enjoyed it.
Whwt do you think of that honda cb4 interceptor concept, I fell in love
I have this. It's a great motorcycle.
Good review, you sound & look really excited about riding the triumph. Maybe they'll give it to you.
LOL maybe
Happy ou actually test rode an R nine T🙂
I'm no soyboy but I like hearing your perspective as a woman (because they can often notice different things). The heat comfort issue is one that is often neglected by reviewers - but never forget to mention the ambient temperature when you were riding as well. Take care.
I owned a Thruxton and I loved it ...
Wow...you so damned lucky...however so am I to own both a 2017 Thruxton 1200 R and a 2020 Speed Triple 1050 RS. I totally agree with how smooth the Triumphs are to ride. You can use a front brake on gravel however it takes some Technical know how and practice which is best done on a dirt or light bike at first with your foot out MX style just in case.
I just got a street twin as my first big bike but got the seat and cowel to look like a s cup, i need to try a thruxton tho
Sharp looking bike! Would like to test ride one and see how it feels for sure ! Nice point of view review! Glad you enjoyed it !
Closest thing to the Thruxton would be the Speed Twin. Compare the two in a video
Triumph are the best. The English just make amazing bikes.
