Re: Thruxtons
They do look good but my 1-piece doesn't match it so I'll have to pass. My mate did one up and made a profit before he bought his Daytona. His looked kinda similar to that one but I think he made it a bit more cafe racer. Apparently the Daytona was very comfortable in comparison

Re: Thruxtons
There is a lot to be said for a bike that you can ride hard on the road without ending up in prison..or in a hedge.

Re: Thruxtons
I like those too Jack, and I've seen the retro brown colour in flesh and it looked awesome. They are still up around $15K here second hand though.Jack wrote:I like these , I saw one in silver the other week looked very nice

Re: Thruxtons
Thats why it's a second bike Perkles, the Multi is still my go to for a big ride, taking Jess out and if i want to rag it. The GB is only 30 HP and it is fine for me 80% the time, just a bit lacking up the hill. I climb 1500 ft over about 10 km.Perkles wrote:they all look good but I would good bored riding one quite quickly

Re: Thruxtons
Another tidy one in Sydney. Seem to be heaps of red ones around but that colour doesn't really grab me. The tail tidy on this one looks smick!

Re: Thruxtons
I love the looks of them but I like to ride my bike and be scared a bit so not for me ,I had a Ducati monster I rebuilt as a cafe racerkiwikrasher wrote:Thats why it's a second bike Perkles, the Multi is still my go to for a big ride, taking Jess out and if i want to rag it.

It looked and sounded beautiful but I didnt like riding it
I think to sum it it up shagging Grace Jones would scare me shitless and I would want to have another go but Kylie wouldnt leave me wanting more
Please dont think I dont like all bikes types and sizes I do ,I am a true petrol head

Re: Thruxtons
I get what you mean though, everyone warned me I'd end up in this position with the GB and I wouldn't listen... I still like it, but I want more. There may well be a thread in 2 years where I sell the thruxton lol

Re: Thruxtons
The Enfield is around 50bhp and has bags of torque for hills plus they only cost 5k brand new in the UK with a three year warranty.kiwikrasher wrote:Thats why it's a second bike Perkles, the Multi is still my go to for a big ride, taking Jess out and if i want to rag it.

After several thousand miles on Enfeilds in India with multiple breakdowns and one fire, I wouldn't have touched one with a barge pole. But I'm very tempted now, they're getting some very good long term reviews.

Re: Thruxtons
There was a guy in the TriumphRat forum rider's group had a totally tricked-out Thruxton in Daytona Yellow. To this day, it's one of the nicest motorcycles I've ever seen.
Grace Jones, eh?? Nope.
Well, maybe.
