Wow....that's a rather large jump. I would suggest taking one for ride to see if you connect with it....to me the Thruxton overcomes all it's inadequacies as an old school bike by pure character. It's also a open canvas to modify to your heart's delight....I wouldn't sell mine for anything.

Thanks again, I'm going to check one out on Sunday, there is a dealer near me that has one as a demo..... hopefully it doesn't rain.

When I lived in San Diego it amazed me how the locals would freak out over rain, crash their cars and rain was the main topic of conversation.

Just remember to ignore the light-switch throttle response. That can fixed in about two minutes.

I switched from a VFR 800 to a Thruxton and have no regrets, but... I recommend keeping the Ducati AND buying the Triumph if you are looking for true happiness. One bike is never enough.

How? Curious.

Shove a marble in the air induction tube.

Plenty of posts on AI removal but the short version is to pull the left side-cover and look for a tube that exits up near the tank. Shove a marble, ball bearing, etc. in there. Put the tube back in the airbox and be amazed. Later on you can yank all the crap associated with the system.
