Saw the Thruxton R last night at Triumph of Seattle. It has a comfortable seat and a less extreme riding position than my Vincent Special or the 955 Daytona, both of which I can ride long distance without being crippled afterward.
Hard to fault the styling and finish of the bike, it's near perfect, amazingly good for a mass produced piece of machinery.
There is an absence of ugly wires and hoses around the engines of all the new Bonnevilles, in fact the entire bike is this way. Someone has taken a lot of care in arranging /hiding things in the neatest possible way. I went through that procedure when building my Special and it is a mental struggle.
I don't know if there is another new bike that is as neatly put together as these new Bonnevilles are.
Can hardly wait until April when I get to see how it rides.
