Has anyone heard anything about the 2013 Thruxton and will there be any significant changes? It doesn't seem like there have been for a few years now, and I'm pondering a 2012 or considering waiting until 2013. Even color may make the decision easier.
Thanks!

Only real change is Diablo Red is gone, being replaced by 'Brookland Green". I don't think anything else has changed

I'm hoping that the whole 'warm start' issue in the 2012 thruxton won't be present, as well as some 50-60mph wobbles I've read about. Anyway, if the price is right, I'll pick one up!

cool, thanks guys. I'm curious what you mean by the "warm start" issue...

The warm start problem refers to when you have to try starting a couple of times after she is already warmed up. It almost reminds me of the old school h-d's on a compression stroke. You only get a short crank before it stops cranking. Usually does it a couple of times but its nothing to worry about. As far I know, color line up is the only changes for 2013.

Why not wait - and get the "sport" model. I hear rumours of a 1000cc Thruxton Sport being in the pipeline - seriously!!

If not 2013 (seems unlikely) then 2014 ?

I've had this a couple of times, I assumed it was because I had turned on the ignition with the side stand down, then put the stand up before pressing the start button. I now turn the ignition on after i put the stand up, and it hasn't done it since. I assumed the ignition system brain was getting confused!

If they make it too modern and sporty it will loose its character... just get the beautiful green one!
