Awesome review Ray, bike looks amazing and love the detailed breakdown of it 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Very slick review Ray, such a beautiful bike
Thanks Colin 😁 the colour is beautiful, really glistens in the sun
Nice review Ray! The pictures you posted from that bike are class 👌🏻
Cheers mate, the photos came out beautifully 👌🏼
Awesome video Ray 🔥
Thanks Jess 😁
Aaay yupp Stu baby.
Gorgeous bike, great review
Thanks my dude 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Picking mine up on wednesday. The only deciding factor is when to order the replacement pipes..
The FE? You lucky SOB ;)
I had to settle for jet black ice silver....was late to the game and the greens were all taken.
None-the-less, beautiful bike and great ride.
Yesterday! 😂
What exhaust are you thinking of going for?
Yep FE, seen her in person and she's a beauty. Whatever colours they wear, really doesn't matter.
Thinking arrow race headers with weslake shorties. It's bigger sister, my 919 hornet likes to sing from its MIVVs, so the thruxton needs its own voice.
Hey Ray, mostly good review however an error: The bike has Nissin brakes on the rear not brembo. Brembo are only in the front.
You are absolutely correct, my apologies 🙌🏼
Thank you for highlighting 😁
I think a Thruxton 1200 is my next bike, such a shame its being discontinued. Good video Bonniebiker Thanks.
Thank you so much Dave that really means a lot.
Afaik the modes do not reduce power but modify the delivery of it.
That would make sense 👍🏼
It seemed like it reduced the power, but perhaps a reduced delivery would have been a better explanation. I don’t think the top speed is reduced just takes longer to get there.
Thank you 😁
Does the engine feel much different than the Bobber?
Yes I definitely noticed the difference, the bobber is all low end torque and instant power. The Thruxton felt smoother and quicker with the pull a little higher in the rev range.
Both fantastic engines
The 1200 Thruxton is the best model in the Bonneville range.
Because it hurts to ride?
@@logangodofcandy Well it has the best styling and frame....compared to SE Bonnieville.
It's light , reasonably powerful, smooth.
As for comfort I spent $3000 altering the suspension and seat plus another $2000 adding a fairing.
The front forks are progressively sprung.
As for the clipons , they are not extreme and are similar to Kawasaki zx14/14R bars which I rode since 2006. The bars on the Thurxton are set like a Sports tourer .
Try a 600 TT Triumph for discomfort comparison. One hour ride only, and I was only 45 then. not 70 like I am now
look same like norton commando
‘Pay homage to a cafe racer’ - that’s a laugh.
It is a very nice bike, but a cafe racer has clip-ons, which are low down for a reason. Cafe racers were never set up for comfort - they were set up for minimal wind resistance and to go everywhere at illegal speeds.
Let’s face facts - it’s a beautiful bike for old guys to reminisce of the old days when they could actually ride a cafe racer.
I actually said it pays tribute to the cafe racer lineage 👍🏼 but thanks for the comment.
Nothing wrong with having a bit of nostalgia, that’s pretty much what all the modern classic range is about.
