Owner Review: My last bike (over ten years ago) was a slightly chopped low riding, ape hanging '66 Harley. A cool looking bike, but only half of it worked half the time. I thought I was done riding after getting rid of it until I saw the Thruxton. Being a huge fan of Cafe bikes (and all bikes for that matter) I realized I could get one at a good price and it would be mechanically sound and dependable - and no more stinking kick starts! I've ridden just about every bike out there - to me the Thruxton is the funnest ride. This, to me, is really what it's all about. I dig the riding position, the buttery shifting, and the power (after the Staintunes/AI removal) is good enough for me. I'm not crazy about the front end around the curves, but there's a fix for that - or maybe my front tire needs some air? Aesthetically, between the choppers and the sporties, the bike is unique on the road - and that's real cool.
