- A few people have expressed the desire for me to record a video on my bike with a walkaround and some hooligan revving and recording of the exhaust...
Well here it is gentlemen and ladies of distinction and good bearing.
Filmed on my iPhone so not a great frame rate and a bit wobbly. Managed to rattle it off in a lunch hour.
Hope you like! Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them correctly! :-)
Thanks again for watching! Really very kind of you.
Until next time! Pip pip!

Thank you for the tour of your motorcycle, I saved it to one of my lists, when I get my bike I intend to take note of your tasteful upgrades.
I've had a Thruxton 900 for two years now and this weekend fitted a steering damper from Tec bike parts. What a transformation to the handling of the bike! Fantastic! Highly recommended. 👍
What a splendid machine! Looks and sounds fantastic!
Thanks Phil! Sorry it took so long to spot your comment! :-)
Enjoyed the walk round!
Captain Rambunctious I'm starting to enjoy your videos on the Triumph Thruxton 900! I'm 46 and a returning rider and I'm considering getting one I thought about a big twin for a while but I'm not ready for it at the moment. I just want to get back on a bike and enjoy riding again! thanks!
+bballromper The Thruxton has a slightly more extreme leg position that the Bonnie. If your knees are fine, then go for the THruxton. If not, then the Bonnie is just as good and you can customise the bonnie more easily to what you want it to be anyway! ;-) Good luck and thank you for watching...
Hello Captain R. Always enjoy your videos. I currently own a Laverda RGS1000. but having owned it for 20+ years it's gonna have to go for aThruxton. As usual I've fallen for a younger prettier model that wants me to do things to her the "old girl" would never stand for. Mid life crisis or just plain kinky, it's a Thruxton for me soon. Thanks Captain.:-)
Sounds utterly splendid! Have a most enjoyable time! :-)
Tally ballyhoo, Cap. What a very distinguished review of your Thruxton from earlier days. Looks soooo much like my 2005 t100 does now. I have the seat cowl exactly as your's. . Sooo, I must agree with you, yours look absolutely gorgeous.
And a,dat,dut,d da du, da da dat duuuuu. DONE!
TALLY BALLY HOO! 👍
Thank you! You found one of my early ones! 😂
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!
Amazing bike, the range of parts for triumphs is amazing!
There's SO much you can do. Things to add, replace or remove. You can even get rid of most of the electrics and have it open framed. I'm too scared to do that, but with a straight forward bonnie as a blank canvas, you could do anything from a cruiser to a bobber to a cafe racer to a scrambler street tracker...
Great bike, awesome sound.....And a few other superlatives.
God speed, cap'n!
Only a few?! ;-)
Captain Rambunctious eh... im self taught. my vocabulary goes only so far... :P
Sounds fantastic!
I tend to agree! ;-)
Well Sir! may I say it looks and sounds bloody gorgeous! RSMF.
Well it's not a cruiser, but sounds like one! ;-) Would just need a 270 timing interval... Cheers!
Looks and sounds sweet ✊
+Doticaster It was a beauty! If only I hadn't yearned for more power! You've made me watch this again... Hmmm... Hopes are pinned on the new Thruxton R!
Beautiful bike!
Thanks Bigsmoke.
Sounds glorious ...
I know! :-) Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
I feel your passion for your bike matey. Black and gold does look rather fetching.
Thanks! My street triple before was black and gold too! I see a theme... :-)
Captain Rambunctious Wow you went from a Street Triple to a Thruxton and your still happy? No regrets? I ask because I'm riding a Sprint RS with lots of mods!! Daytona cams wild tunes 170+ HP and I'm looking at one of these but am a bit worried it wont keep me happy! can you please tell me your thoughts?
Captain Rambunctious My RS is black and gold to by the way ;)
Cory Singe \oh yes. I ,managed to get 83 bhp out of the Thruxton in the end. After all, the Street Triple was only 98bhp st the rear wheel.
It was a different bike. It looks different and gives you a different feel. I preferred my Thruxton to my Street Triple.
Sweet bike. I really dig that cafe racer style.
Thanks! Much appreciated sir.
Ooh, very nice! How do you keep the spokes so clean? Takes me about 3 hours to clean one wheel!
Thank you! I use WD-40 and a rag! I also try to do them quite often so the grime isn't thick. It helps to use dry lube as well (Wurth Dry Lube is very good but you have to apply every 200 miles or so)...
Cheers!
Sick
bootiful!!! but then i would say that!!!- glad yer a 'blackout' fan loike meeself!!!! happy thrashing old bean!!!
Absolutely! I'd do the engine covers, but replacements are too expensive and getting them powder coated means not riding the bike whilst they are being done... That isn't happening either! :-) Thanks.
i hear ya good buddy! plenty of downtime for powdercoating in the months ahead- sep i'm sure will be a scorcher!!! i have faith!!!- plus you can't see the covers whilst you are riding ehh!??
johnnycactus0 Bloody good point!! :-)
Nice video!
I own one of these, I love it!
Is your rear tire a 140/80 or a 140/70?
Well I just checked. I thought that it should be 140, but this is a 130/80. I might have a word with them tomorrow to ask if it's the right tyre, because the old one was definitely 140. Maybe that is why it appears to be more curved?
Captain Rambunctious
The OEM is 130/80
I'm thinking of going one size up, but cant make my mind if /70 or /80...
Alex Ferreira Ah. Few. Thank you. Well, 80 gives you a bit more comfort and ground clearance?
I know this bike is long gone but could you list the things you love and hate about this bike? I'm currently on a GSXR and have narrowed down my next bike to a 2012 speed triple or a 2013 Thruxton (I know strange to be comparing) would love to hear your thoughts between the two as you have a lot of exp with both
Well I had the 2013 Thruxton and spent weeks on the older Speed Triple. When I recently bought my Thruxton R, it was instead of the new Speed Triple R!
The older Thruxton had plenty of charm, and 'enough' performance, but that was the reason I ended up getting rid of it. I wanted more performance.
If you can fall in love with the charm of the older Thruxton, and can put up with the mediocre (but perfectly good) brakes, the weight (230kgs wet) and 70bhp and 52 ftlbs of torque, and the looks and style and how the more classic looks make you feel, then get one. I loved it for ever until I got bored of the performance.
The older Speed Triple is also very different to the new one, but is an absolute riot of performance. Basically, it's the handling and feel of the engine that make it.
So it's a choice of classic looks and fun, or raw power, fun, riot and giggles.
Personally, I would get the older Speed Triple, but then I have bough the newer Thruxton because it is SUCH a step up from the old one, it trumps even the new Speed Triple R, but that's the new one...
Is that all too weak?
+Captain Rambunctious thanks for that awesome reply very informative from an actual owner. I am swaying towards a red Speed Triple as you have confirmed my fears that one would get bored of the performance, shame as the Thruxton looks and sounds gorgeous
+The Incredible Sulk if the looks and sound are enough for you then that should be fine. Do they beat the actual performance? For me it was enough for 2 years after all!
Love the Thruxton! Do you own any other bikes? I'm thinking of the Rocket, the new Bonnie T120 or a Thruxton.
+Robert Newitt I only have one at a time. I had this bike for 2 years. I then had a Thunderbird Storm for 3 months, and now a Tiger 800 XRT. I had a Street Triple for a year before the Thruxton... I just rode the new T120 and Thruxton R... Maybe I'll get one of those but we'll see. :-)
IF I could have more than one bike and money was no object, I would have the Thunderbird Storm again as a cruiser, the new Thruxton R, the new Speed Triple R, Tiger 800 XRT and the Ducati 899... :-)
+Captain Rambunctious you changed the T bird quickly? Any reason as I did have it on my list originally. I rode the Rocket, great fun but maybe too much to live with! Which did you prefer between the T120 and Thruxton, I am leaning towards the Bonnie probably because of the riding position. I am waiting to test ride both. Cheers Rob
+Robert Newitt the main reason was that I threw it around like t wasn't a cruiser and hurt my back! Cruisers aren't for me even if it was an excellent bike... Couldn't fault it.
T120 is excellent and practical but the Thruxtin is so much better and fun.
Hi Captain, what mods were needed to achieve 83bhp?
Akilesh Bennett pipes, air box removal, racing cams, Dyno with power commander...this will be at the crank though, not at the rear wheel. You lose about 8% from crank to rear wheel...
I hope that this helps...
+Captain Rambunctious Thank you for replying 😊😊
I'm viewing all your videos.
So i think currently you are owning the The Thruxton R?
Did you sell all your other bikes, like Tiger as well?
Hi Captain...random question. If you were to purchase a limited edition Triumph (such as the Thruxton Ace) would you still customise it? I absolutely love what you have done to your awesome machine but just wondered if you would do the same to a limited edition Triumph.
Regards,
MrJPB2000. 😎
Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Yes, I would customies. Especially with the new 2015 Ace Cafe Thruxton. For the money that they spent on it (the paintjob really), I would have done the pipes and fork gaiters and other things. The rear shocks are nice, but again, another £100 would have got MUCH nicer ones.
I think that when Triumph release a 'custom' they can't give it better pipes because they are still bound by European Emission laws (noise AND gas) so the best they do is maybe Arrows, but they are still added AFTER the initial marketing.
There is so much you can do. I've asked for another sprocket cover, key relocation bracket, and brass fuel cap for Christmas for mine. So much to do! :-)
Thanks for the question. Glad you are interested! :-D
+Captain Rambunctious What's the name of your exhaust ? British Custom Predator (not the shorty version), without baffles ? I don't really like the sound of TEC, Arrow ; I like the Zard ones.
Thanks and awesome bike, I got a Thruxton Ace, lovely.
TheJusticeCross Absolutely spot on. The British Customs Predators (non shorty). They don't have baffles. They have a mechanical baffle that you can't change but it makes them legal... ish... ;-)
There is a baffle in the predators that you can't put off ? But it is loud enough isn't it ? I've read that they were the noisiest, and if it's impossible to put the baffle off, they are the loudest eventhough they have a db-killer/baffle... Strange.but nice.
TheJusticeCross It's not really a baffle, more a collection of vanes inside which help the flow... Hence not removable but they call it a permanent mechanical baffle...
Hearing that lovely exhaust note I won't need to have sex for a week!
Glad to be of service! As it were...
you forgot the A.I. removed so you can stop the pipes bluing and get to the spark plugs ..
You're right. I'd forgotten that I'd done that! :-)
ok , liked the video's.. living with my 2002 bonnie for 13 years ...try demos but nothing comes close to want to replace ..cheer's
I thought the blade of grass and soft focus looked quite arty. lol
That's good to know! :-) My old Thruxton DID sound amazing... I'm going to be getting the newer version of these pipes for my Thruxton R once I have the money... :-)
Oooh sir! Suits you sir! Does she sir? Does she? Oooh!
I figured you'd say something like that. After all, it was you who asked! :-) Hope it doesn't disappoint! ;-)
Captain Rambunctious Not at all sir, she is bloody ruddy luvverly. I would love to own a Thruxton, as well as a miriad of other motor propelled bicycles!
Southern Fried You and me both! :-) Most of them Triumphs...
WANT!
You can't have! ;-) But you can watch the video as many times as you like! ;-)
But I'll take that as an awesome compliment so thanks!
Captain Rambunctious
Oh, it's definitely a compliment mate. I fell in love with those things the first time I saw one in my local Triumph dealer.
I can't handle that kind of riding stance any more, but I can still produce lots of drool. ;o)
Rob Ash The newer Thruxtons have bar risers instead of clip ons so not as extreme a riding position as you might think! Only a test ride will tell! Happy New Year!
so stupid ejaculations!!!!!!
