This march I got a new Thruxton,EFI.The bike I traded in was a 2001 Tiger.I also have a 97 s/triple 900 which is my main bike,when it rains or need to do some distance at speed.
I would go for it if you now have no interest in speed or having themodern look'.If you like the look and sound of the cafe racers,image etc you will love it as I do.If you are not sure about the riding position I would go for the flat bars that now come as standard on the Thruxton.They are plenty low enough and in my view a clean look.Some clip ons are just too low and you will get a pain in the back and then not enjoy the bike!Nothing worse than having a bike you have longed to have the not enjoying it.If you the change your mind then get some clip on's.Thats how I would do it.
Get the Thruxton,you will love it.I promise.Yes I know,I have both.But would now have just the Thruxon if I had to have just one at this time of life.I too have done the fast bikes,love the cafe style hence the s/triple but time to slow down now and with the Thrux can now make lots of noise with open pipes and get as much fun doing 40mph as doing 60mph around town.And thw girls love the look,its a look that they can handle,chrome,paint,wire wheels,its not all race rep plastic ect,they don't dig that!
