As an avid Norton Commando owner of 30 years and 128,000 miles) I can honestly say (in my humble opinion) the Thrux does it for me.
Having first taken a dealers 2004 bike for a 1 1/2 hr test run I was hooked and now this running in malarky just can't end too soon.
Colour: Blue
Year: 12/2006
Mileage: still running in.
Mods TOR only....but now wished I had taken the AI off from new though, pipes are blue right to the balance pipe.
Age 50 and too heavy at 210lbs
Unfortunately since delivery back in Dec 06 I haven't had the weather to really enjoy it safely, but the few days there has been I've managed about 100+ miles each time. The bike has lived up too everything everyone else has posted. What fun! My wrists will get used to the extra loading I'm sure.
After an initial months lay up it had a small starting problem (it wouldn't run on anything but full choke) so it went back to the dealer who cleaned out the PDI fuel and crud from the jets and now it just purrs and barks...everybit a tastefull in sound as the commando.
So much smoother too.
Given that it's totally different in nearly even aspect other than it's a motorcycle, to the Commando, I have found it so easy to adapt to the riding position handling characteristics, breaking weight distribition and the overall nimbleness of the machine.,
Triumph have done this one proud.
Roll on the dry warm days........
