Thruxton -08 EFI

Triumph Thruxton -08 EFI
Silver with red stripe
2500 km

No modifications yet, pipes are to come.

I am 178 cm weight 75 kg

Owner Review:

Very happy with the bike. Did not know how I would adjust to the lesser (by about 125 hp) power coming from a -07 ZZR1400 but I feel the different construction, tiny wheels and lack of fairing makes it at least as fun as the Kawasaki to ride actively.
Then, in the city and on twisty countryroads the Thruxton is superior, best bike I have owned for various daily use.

The FI works very good and the clutch is great, as the gearbox.
Ergonomics are spot on for me.

I have took it for vacation on a couple of 500 km trips with passanger and that worked fine (most of the ride was in quite heavy rain so I was worried as I have read some reports about these bikes could have trouble in rain, no problems though).

I am enthusiastic about the bike and hopefully the relation between us will be long.

Greetings!
Daniel
