As an owner of both a Thruxton and a Daytona, the choice of what to ride each day is always difficult. I had my eye on a Thrux for years and finally pulled the trigger on one last fall. It's a really fun bike just to mod and on which to cruise around. I never have a bad ride on it. It's stable with pretty good power (after some toying with the engine)...so a really good ride. I also never take it out without someone stopping me to ask about the bike...if you care about that kind of crap. It's really a great bike. That said, I found myself wanting a bit more oomph when I was out on my Thrux, so I took the 'ol bonus check and bought a Daytona about 3 months ago. Funny thing is that I seem to find myself out on the Daytona much more. It's really so **** fun to ride that it's hard to let it sit in the garage. I live in Manhattan, so it's certainly not the bike on which to cruise around the city, but if I'm ever getting out of the city, I'm on the Daytona. I usually come home wired after a ride on it... and pretty exhausted. So, if you are a sport-minded cruiser...I'd get the Thrux. If you are a bit of an adrenaline junky...you gotta go with the Daytona. Either way, you'll end up with a great bike...
