    The thruxton rs was the reason i fell in love with cafe racers. Not available in my country, so had to settle for the continental gt 650 and I absolutely love it. ❤

    I've had my Thruxton R for almost 7 years and added the Triumph cafe racer fairing. I was 63 years old when I bought it and don't have any problems riding it for a couple hours at a time. The motor is a peach and can pull gearing up to an 18T/37T from the stock 16T/42T. I've run my drag strip 55 times and raced it full speed at Bonneville 19 times with zero issues. I have videos at the drag strip and at Bonneville. The engine responds well to bolt on mods.

    I bought one of the first '16 Diablo Red Trhuxton R in TX. Updated the levers, put on a color matching short fly screen, and decated the exhaust with black headers and SC Project slip-on. Black outed the engine from the aluminum and once I get it tuned with a race cam, it will out perform the RS. Love this bike, it is a head turner.

    I've ridden the Thruxton R and found it's ohlins and big-piston showa suspension like a magic carpet ride. A perfect bike for those who like to go fast, smoothly and with style. Can only imagine the RS takes it to another level.

    • @ashleyreynolds6604
      @ashleyreynolds6604 Год назад +4

      Not significantly different, dressed up to meet tighter emissions regs and marketed as performance upgrades. Take an R that's been custom mapped and it'll feel hard to justify another £7k, unless new things are important to the individual.

    • @vegasmike
      @vegasmike Год назад

      The RS is the same bike. Nothing has changed except for the cam. :(

    • @pauldtaeza
      @pauldtaeza Год назад

      Night and day difference. The brakes and the engine response are dialed up to 11. Ridden both and currently owns an RS. Very different characters. The R had weak, wooden brakes and lumpier engine.

  • @hockeymann88

    This was in the running for me six years ago. I'd decided on this or the BMW R NINE T. The Triumph dealer had no interest in me as a customer. I was in an empty showroom and staff were walking around not even making eye contact. When I eventually managed to get the attention of a salesman he was constantly giving me the impression he had more important things to be doing. Contrast that with the BMW dealer. Within ten minutes I had a coffee in my hand and 20 minutes later I was out on a demo bike. I came back and put my deposit down. If I'm buying a brand new bike I need to feel confident that the dealer is going to look after me if things go wrong. The Triumph dealer didn't come close to instilling that sort of confidence. In summary, Triumph are great bikes. Shame about the dealers.

    • @pokie6087
      @pokie6087 Год назад +2

      To be fair I think this is the attitude of a lot of dealerships these days. They feel like they're doing you a huge favour by selling you a bike. BMW at least in my experience have a good customer services attitude

  • @kdsowen2882
    @kdsowen2882 Год назад +1

    As the rider of a Cafe-bike (modded 73 yam TX650/700) This one looks great and has all the real-world specs that you need . A bit of 'Gold' on the Black would make it look superb . I agree that gripping the tank with your thighs is the key for less wrist/hand fatigue , at nearly 70yrs , I find its a good core work-out too and changes the balance/feel of bikes for the better . It works for my custom Yam TR1 as well , stabilising it when the front-end gets loaded and a bit 'choppy' on down-hill twisties ,this is where tank-rubber-grips come in handy . Just discovered you and enjoying your vids . Dave NZ

    Im 62 now and always ridden old school bikes with no electrical aids, so no worries for me personally. I do appreciate the benefits but not needed in my case and probably makes us keep more in mind with the bike. Unfortunately being 62 and unemployed I doubt I cold ever own a bike again. Appreciate your knowledge on bikes these days though.

    Only just found your channel and found your Thruxton first ride review (subbed 🤓🙏). Just switched from my 17 GSA (from new) to the TTRS Showcase. You have such a great talent, fantastic detail and video but you definitely make it something special 🙏😎👍 Absolutely loving the look, ride, engine and sound (aftermarket slip ons). I had a very bad lower back for eight months (9 out of 10 on pain scale) and the slight lean forward stance is working out better than sit up and beg - albeit the GSA was a magic carpet ride when it came to bumps. 😅

    It's an interesting bike - like, I think of café racers as being light, middleweight engines, but here's this 1200cc behemoth. It does have a *lovely* exhaust note though. I wonder what the ride height & riding position is like on the Bobber, i.e. same bike packaged as a cruiser?

  • @GatorsFan2138

    No, a Godet Egli Vincent or JMC Egli Vincent or Norvin, and a lot of Tritons, BSA Rocket Gold Star, Ducati 250/350/450 Desmos, 900SS etc etc are a lot sexier, ......... - its up there though, for a mass produced modern 'retro' factory bike, but needs the fairing to make it look truly good............. but you can get two Continental GT650's for the price and they are more akin to the cafe racers of the 60's and if properly modded don't look too bad either
