How are the vibes on these? I'd rather have a triple if it was going to be a Triumph.

Wow, talk about throwback! Takes me back to my (real) Triumph/Norton/Velocette days. This is the first modern Triumph I'd ever look at with an eye toward buying.

Ohlins and Brembo
Yummy
My understanding was that the 800s were seriously underpowered so a 62% HP bump would be welcome.

About time they gave the Thruxton some oomph to go with the looks. I'll have to check UK Bike magazine for reviews. They're usually on top of the Triumph releases.

I feel the same way. When I first saw this bike, I thought for sure it will be the one that gets me back to owning a motorcycle....still working on convincing my wife of that, though. ;)

Like the Triumph more than the bicycle. Another great part, built for pilot only..real 'sport', ear holer, motorcycles don't have passengers.

Interesting bike , I like the fairing.

Little older, almost bid on a 2008 T-100 that was on e-bay.

The fairing on the Triumph looks very much like the classic Avon Sports or Dunstall top fairings of the 60s and 70s.

Here's a nice Trophy

My first motorcycle was a Daytona 500

Then ended selling that for something larger for longer trips, Honda CB750
