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.
