What a concept. :shock:

Was kind of hoping it to be 2 up like the previous Thruxton and an Ohlin fork instead of a Showa. I'm sure its an improvement anyway, but I'm an Ohlin fan. They are also producing liquid cooled 1200CC Bonnies, but with less output than the Thruxton (why would they do that?) and still sporting a small diameter fork (or that?) . The components are definitely there, not sure about the fit and finish craftsmanship. Can't wait to test ride it. Or them.

Wow! Is my infatuation for the Norton worth an additional $11K?!! Had I not been lusting after the 961 for so long I might have held on and, upon learning about the Thruxton R, I just might have put down a deposit with Triumph. I know all too well how reliable they can be. My Daytona 955i required a few simple mods, but now it's perfect. I'm not expecting such an easy time with my 961.
Of course, hindsight is always 20/20. :roll:

Not sure I caught the post you're referring to. Higher or lower than what I quoted?
BPHORSEGUY said:$14500 R Usd and $12500 regular Thruxton. The R comes in red & silver with black, white, or green for regular. Available in April, 250 R units for North America with special bronze inspection cover and 1 solid gold to a lucky guy, then 1 to each dealer, then regular ordering! The bikes can be viewed in the US mid December at IMS New York Then Boston with a VIP pass 1 week later (which I have LOL ) and ditto on the west coast. Vance and Hines pipes will be less then $900. The bikes are not thru final EPA so no HP figures yet!

Everyone can find something that appeals to them from one manufacturer or another.
