Love mine as well. Not a R or RS, just a regular 1200.

Absolutely love being able to get on, put gas in, and crush 150 miles no problem.

I upgraded to a new 2013 900 Thruxton and loved it after suspension upgrade then clocked up a lot of travel miles on it then the 1200s came out so in 2018 I bought a new 2016 Thruxton S at a big reduced price with fairing kit fitted, out standing bike and completely different to the older 900 Thruxton, with a Meerkat x-pipe and opened up stock mufflers and a set of Ikon shocks, its a dream to ride, city, highway and in the twisties, its so much fun and has taken over everyday rider duties and long travels, so really I don't care where they are assembled, still a British icon and as all bike manufactures parts are source all over the world, so they aren't made in Thailand they are assembled there, but really I still love it same as my old Norton.
This pic was taken the first day I got it home.

That competition green is the best colour ever put on a Motorcycle.
In 2016 it wasn't available on the R.
I had a choice of Red or Silver metallic.
Both are nice " runner up" colours.

Yes the green is outstanding and for over a year I walked past this bike in the show room to get oil filters and other bits from the dealer for my 900 Thruxton, had no intension to buy a new Thruxton at the time but decided to take one for a test ride, took a R model for a test ride and loved it but felt the sport suspension was a bit harsh for long travel and the S model would be better suited for long miles in the saddle + the deal and huge savings over the new R model was good but I got a bit cheeky and asked the salesman for todays price, he went and talked to the manager and they dropped another $1K off the already large reduced price a saving of over $3.5K over the R model + with the fairing kit fitted how could I resist the temptation and put a down deposit straight down and picked it up 3 days later without telling the wife, she found out when she had to take me to the dealers to pick it up, this was the second new Thruxton I bought from this dealers since 2013 so they have been looking after me.
Here is a pic with the open stock mufflers and saddle bag supports I made for my throw over leather saddle bags and rack on the back with bag, haven't fitted the Ikon's on it before this pic was taken.

So what are you going to call the new Triumph 400 made in India by Bajaj? I have asked about a test ride when the demo bikes arrive but have been told that I am too old.
 
Or maybe the "Baja bhaji" or "thaiumpth tikka" ?
Ok ok I'll get me coat !
