Not exactly a daily runner then .

So envious of how this mans brain works. I pump the tyres up and think its a monumental achievement.

Give us a bike with decent tyres, mudguards, suspension and a good comfortable seat For God's Sake. No front mudguard, how dare you Triumph 😤 Where's all that Muck and dirt going to end up. Build the bloody thing properly, this is the UK 🇬🇧 We like things done properly.

Lana that was an excellent review. I nearly brought a 650 RE but the lack of fairings meant i chose a Ninja400 instead. My big bikes dont get ridden anymore and i think the majority of people are better off on a smaller bike. They also cost so little to run. On my big bike the expensive tyres are shagged at a maximum of 3000km.

How tall are you?

I agree with you, Dave; too much black. The spoked wheels and the bare metal engine would be right for me; simply more retro! with the bare metal rims and chrome fenders... yeah!

That 4 cylinder Nimbus engine sound reminds me of the old radial engines on vintage bi-planes.

For perspective, a restored 1974 with electric start is the same amount of money. Kick start only is 20 kg lighter. Most fun bike ever, the 2023 may be more fun, but kickstarting a 850 Commando and the vibration at idle was a visceral connection to the machine I really loved. Have a good one.

バックステップが随分とヌルめだな～後ろからブーツの底が見えないぞ。

Just completed 24k miles on my Interceptor with no problems. TEC exhaust, booster plug and DNA airfilter mods. Sounds and goes like a dream. A keeper for sure.

世界一かっこいい日本のバイク

Love your work. Would like to see you review another modern classic - The Kawasaki W650 / W800.

I put 80,000 klms on a 2002 SV650. Never let me down. Excellent bike.

Could you get on the scrambler the bonevile dual gauges, I HATE THE DIGITAL GAUGES !!!!

Another great review, personally i love this motorcycle. Cheers from Greece.

グース最高😂 元祖マックスターンも最高❗️ 凄いわ😂🎉

One of the best parts of the entire movie

Red boots 👢😮, i was thinking why you carry petrol can 😅

I've never been able to warm up to these water cooled Triumphs in the same way I do with the air cooled ones. They went to 270 cranks. The 360 firing order is really what makes these bikes what they are, and now it's gone. They also went overboard with the BLACK BLACK BLACK everywhere on the engine and rims , even the mirrors! To me all the blacked out bits look ...let me be nice about it...NOT as good as chrome or polished metal. Then they give you useless 1/2 front fenders , not the full beautiful metal fenders on the 2001-2015. T100 . They also aren't offered in those classically styled dual-tone paint schemes, anymore. You know, the swooping stripes that come down either side of the tank, and narrow as they move further back, set off by a pinstripe. Then, they got the drive modes and traction control and anti locks, which maybe you can shut it off or maybe not? Guy Martin blames a really bad wreck on traction control. I don't want to experiment to test if the traction control saves me or kills me. I don't know how the traction control being activated will affect my balance, traction, handling or speed, and if it causes something unexpected or sudden or undesirable regarding my control over the bike, I don't want to wind up with my face on the road. Now they want to charge, what, $379 for an "accessory" center stand, when the originals had i a center stand standard, this is an add-on on a motorcycle that costs $15,000? Nice bikes they are! Just not for me! They've moved too far away from the essence of the thing!

normally I speak good English. At least 70% of all talking in my business life is happening in English, but after watching this video I doubt, I allmost do not understand anything. Is this really English??

For me, this is the coolest bike ever made, awesome.👍

I have a 2018 T100 since new. Enjoy your video with British accent!

Bike review from the anti biker

Mad Max forever! 👍 És amikor 80-90-es években, Lellén az Üvegháznál, a német suttyók rajzolták a fánkokat az aszfaltra! 😁

Great review … someone who has actually ridden the bikes in real world conditions. Thank you.

Sounds awesome 👍👍

Obvious progression would the 350 ypvs which is 60 hp ,then maybe TZR or TDM 250s .....but have to try RG500 or RD500 they will scare you silly .

Great bikes. I test ridden one and I couldn't fault it either. There are different models. You can get spoke wheels and polished engine cases. I would opt for spoke wheels to.

you cn get the chorme engine, spoke wheels and tank in the mr.clean variant ! no need to mod this!

unfortunately it sounds like a support vehicle is needed to ride this bike, and not an adventure bike across the alps

Sounds wicked , that thing is bad ass.

Passed my test on an RD250 back in 1982. Bought a 350LC a few weeks later...WOW! - Had loads of Yamaha 2-stroke twins over the years. RD250 & 400 air cooled, 250/350LC's, YPVS, you name it...wish I still had them all...I could retire!

Stunning bike. Massive shame the Vance & Hines exhaust is no longer available for this model. That all said I love my Stealth edition. I put Öhlins on my and changed the to the brown comfort seat. Can’t beat a tour of Peckham 😊😊

Very impressive; awesome video and magnificent bike 👍👍👍👏

sign of the times , potholes are now apparently an accepted everyday hazard rather than the exception. why the power difference, they are the same motor ?., is ithe exhaust / mapping that makes the difference?. Those down pipes on both are really blued, is this common on all of them or a fueling issue, or just thin metal?.

You should try a R Ninet/R12 NineT - I have the former - bloody great bike

Which part of England is your accent from?

My word both are pretty smokey. I hope a properly broken in one would be a bit healthier.

I am a big fan of the Thruxton and Speed Twin 1200. They are beautiful bikes. Personally I own the Scrambler versions of the 400, 900, and 1200. When asked the 1200 engine is wonderful and has lots of power. But the most common question is which makes the most sense and why I really like my 1200 for the most power and perfect bike for travel, and the 400 for a super light and flickable bike around town, the 900 is the most versatile, most approachable, easiest to ride, most cost effective, and best all around bike like a Swiss Army knife. I highly recommend the 900 iterations of Triumph’s Modern Classic series… so if you are looking for something in the Speed Twin realm, take the Speed Twin 900. However, motorcycling has a lot to do with your heart and desires and sometimes we make decisions against logic and common sense as it could be the case with the Thruxton and Speed Twin 1200… on the danger that you need a second mortgage, the wife threatens you with a divorce, and the shrink questions your sanity during your next session, do what feels right for you…

That ring of yours waving around the tank was making me hyperventilate. 🙂

Can we purchase a thruxton in the UK and get it delivered in other regions?

Love my SpeedTwin. Got Ohlin's on back from Thruxton, a TuneECU, Tec exhaust, comfort seat from Crafton, FreeSpirit belt conversion, etc.

Had a 1988 and it was a hoot… light and flickable with 63 hp… I was amazed how I zipped past the 750s and 1000 cc bikes in the twisties… I also had the 500 but the riding on that was a bit more complicated and really quick with hooligan power… kept the 350 forever but got a rid of the 500 after a year… to bad I sold it when I moved stateside…

It’s defo time to release the Speed Twin RS, especially after they have discontinued the Thruxton now. Nice review and comparison thanks, much appreciated, keep up the great work! Ps got a Thruxton and I love her so much I will never ever part with her, in fact I am contemplating getting buried with her 😂

One of the best, most informative uploads, thanks

I have a 2016 Thruxton R 1200 with the throttle spacer. Makes a huge difference in smooth throttle application on these big twins in my opinion. Getting up into my 50s now and wanting a more upright riding position. The Speed Twin 1200 appears to be the ticket. The Thruxton R is such a beautiful bike I have been reluctant to give it up just yet. Thanks for your review.

Thank you Bry for the very detailed review. You covered all important details, making it easier for anyone to make their buying decision. Always enjoy your reviews and your rides in real world conditions. Cheers and stay safe, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

With the GREATEST RESPECT, I have just noticed this and obviously Dave must be very well known, however i have no idea who Dave is !? I can relate to the lotus cortina as a colleague had one,also the "E type" jag as my mate like Dave had an engine for a brain and served his time with ecosse at Merchison Mews in Edinburgh, Jim Dickson a wonderful guy, The original Lotus that Jim Clark drove is back on show in his museum in Duns Scottish Borders. I think it's on loan from an Italian owner. Thanks for expert info Dave and i probably should know about you, they call it brain fog nowadays. Thank you.

I tried both bikes on the same day and agree completely with your conclusion! I think the best looking Thruxton they ever did was red with the half fairing 👌
