Never had or driven a car in my life (I am 60) and never owned a bike longer than this one. It excells in nothing but does everything. I love motorcycles, every brands and every models, maybe the older ones a bit better but dont give me the "I ride a real bike" thing, it will only show youre not a real biker.

For those interested in the older 900 model: Model years 2004 thru 2007 all had carbs! No fakes. Also the choke was function and necessary when it’s cold. Those models also had a gorgeous top tree made out of billet aluminum with clip ons, no the risers and handle bar. Both the handlebar and the fuel injectors started on 2008. If your back can’t hander an even sportier riding position. I recommend an earlier model. Get a set of predators fro British Customs and a set of 130 jets for the carbs. Also remove the air injection on the exhaust pipes. The bike will sound amazing and provide a little bump in performance. K&N filters round out the fueling and you’re good to go. One last thing, it’s not a bullet fairing, it’s a fly screen. (That last bit isn’t a joke, that’s actually what it’s called)

Keep in mind - if you’re looking to get more performance out of the engine , such as putting on after market air filters, or a different, less restrictive exhaust, you’ll probably need to change the carb jets for the engine to run optimally. But that’s a trivial matter for most motorcycle mechanics. Also stay away from gasoline with high levels of ethanol content or it may dissolve and gum up your carb jets with tank sediment (impurities from previous tanks of gas.) Good luck!

I was in the same situation when I bought mine. Sold it within like 3 months because the riding position made me feel like I was still on my 1k but with brakes made of wood and a transmission that didn't like aggressive shifts. I lucked out on a 1200$ 05 gsxr600 and I think thats the happy balance for me rn... the thruxton looked awesome for picture tho!! 😄 🤣

I didn't event know they still made thruxton 900 so recently. I bought this year the new thruxton 1200 RS and I love it. It's beautifull, it's fun, it handles well, it's pretty fast. It's especially fun for europe country roads. The only downside is I have a hard time staying below the legal speed limit.

I love the ride vids a lot better than the simply walk around, but they both serve their purpose! Keep up the great work!

I traded this bike in. About 2 weeks ago I had oil changed, put new tires (Pirelli) and got it inspected for the season. Love this bike but it was time to get something else. Sean and Caleb took awesome care of me and I will recommend them to anybody. I worked in Nissan sales for 3.5 years and now doing business to business sales and I can appreciate a good customer service. I heard Sean say in many videos that they don’t make that much on their bikes and it was cool to see that they are listing this bike about $1,000 more than what they gave me which is extreamly fair and reasonable. No wonder they don’t negotiate much on their bikes.

That bike is the previous generation of the Thruxton...Now they have new & improved 1200 Classic & 1200R. I really love my 1200 Thrux.

These stands are actually very easy to operate. It just takes a bit of familiarization and then you'll get it first time, every time. I think that you'd be the perfect person to do a Thruxton R review because you totally get what the Thruxton is all about. There are no good reviews available online that compare the Thruxton 900 to a Thruxton R. I like the idea of the upspec features in the Thruxton R but I don't want those changes at the expense of the classic retro styling and engine feel & ergonomics that the Thruxton 900 delivers so perfectly. Unfortunately, my local dealer has no bikes for test riding, so gutted! I'm returning to riding after 8 years of kids and am now in the market to buy a Thruxton, I just need to work out which model!

I had one on Kauai and it was perfect. Country roads shaded with different types of huge trees. Ocean front and jungle going out to Hanalei and a canyon road up to Waimea canyon. The fastest you could go, on the island, was a five mile stretch before the military reservation, at 60 mph. Brakes not the greatest. No one wants to work on it and it rains all the stinking time on Kauai so there is not a lot of motorcycling going on.

Hi :) Thanks for the great presentations for the different bike :) I've been watching a lot of them, before finally buying my second bike, The Bonneville T100 2008, 865. One thing that caught my attention, was the oddometer - My T100 redlines at 7k rpm, and the oddometer only goes to 8k. Where as the Thruxton in the video redlines at 8.5k, at the oddometer goes to 10k? Why is that? And how does it still produces the same power in spite of the higher redline? Ps. My first bike is a Honda CB650SC Nighthawk (1984/5), which I got dirt cheap from a friend, whom had started to make it into a Cafe Racer. Luckily nothing has been cut, so it's still possible to take it back to original :) Pps. What should I buy next? Triumph Street Triple? Honda CBX1100 (the inline-6 which sounds as a F1 racer) (collector)? Triumph Daytona 675 (collector)? A newer Triumph Twin Speed? Honda Bal'dor (collector)?

I've been more of a car guy all these years but I'm really really thinking about getting one of these and it will be my first bike ever if I do get one.

I had one for a few years. Very disappointing. The bike, the last model was made to a price! Much is cheaper than it should be, the suspension is poor in stock form and lacking in HP. Still, I liked the bike, if the seating position was better I might still have one. The seating position is terrible for such a small change. I now have a Bonnie SE, had to upgrade the brakes, suspension and add some power. I am almost there ... add a big bore kit and it should be good! A lot of work, but I like the bike. A lot.

Could have gotten any number of Bonnie line with a 1200 CC engine and saved yourself. Most (if not all) have upgraded brakes to dual disk and the engine is not only almost 40% more power, but much more economical when it comes to gas. Good Luck!

Thanks for the good review. I was interested in these but not now. I didn't know about the seating and foot peg locations. Not for me. I may check out their Scrambler instead. Still trying to find a modern bike that is as much fun as my first one. A Suzuki GT550 triple 2 cycle. So fast accelerating. I still miss that. It was a copy of the Kawasaki triples, the 750 of which was dangerous. But the blue smoke isn't liked much anymore.

the hinckley triumph is an excellent bike. I had a 2004 bonneville and it was so well balanced compared to a HD and much more torque and top end for 3k. But, traded it for a 1951 Willys wagon.

Oh but Sean. I'm sort of a budget biker. I have to try and tailor my ancient 1980 XS1100 Yamaha to my tastes. I only paid $480 for it. Mostly because the previous owner had to sell it to keep peace in the family after getting a big ticket. Not a big ticket item. A BIG ticket, citation, infraction. Besides I've become addicted to the muscle bike power. Like only my XS1100 and my dear departed 90's era 1000 Ninja had. I'd like to try the Thruxton but will it try too pull me off the back under even close to full throttle?

Great review Sean, may G-d bless you and your family.

I own an 07 and its actually different from a standard bonneville in terms of the engine oiling system and puts out about 80 horsepower not 60. Good review though.

I refer to the Thruxton when I describe it to my friends as a gentleman's sport bike. It's not over intimidating in power and speed but it is astestically pleasing.

The point of building a cafe (for most people) is to build a bike that nobody else has. It's about the project, it's about having something that you created. Not always about the look. Don't get that by spending $10,000 on a factory bike.

So many aftermarket parts for thruxton, easy to customize it, just not cheap

I keep watching this over and over! I have wanted one for awhile now. Only in Reading will have to stop by!

I love the sound of this bike.

To be honest, I like the older Bonnevilles better. I like the classic style.

Just to add some sell points and clarity to this bike.. the forks are the same (but you should upgrade the springs to progessive drop ins) , the rear shocks are longer in length but otherwise the same, the crank is lighter, so technically the Thruxton has the better of the other 865 engines, unless you like the lower HP of the 270 firing of the scrambler. If the 865cc is a little too sluggish for you then 1000 bucks gets you new pipes, airbox upgrades and a tune for an extra 10HP....It has rearsets, and it has the lower bars. Depending on the year they are clips on bars, but the "newer" 865s has risers and a handlebar. Another thing is it has the middle size front wheel, the T100 is 1" bigger and the SE has the smaller mag which effects handling somewhat. Almost all the parts across 865 twins fit on the range. And to the guy who somehow thinks an overpriced Ducati with its closer and more expensive service intervals is better...and comparing a Icon Scrambler to a bike that is a few years older is not at all a comparison. You literally just change the oil on the 865's once a year and that's it. The Triumph is bullet proof. You cannot kill them....and they are a few grand cheaper. They also barely changed from the time they put EFI in them in 09 to when they changed in 2016. So save some cash and get an older one if you are looking around. Otherwise paying high $$ for a more recent model is pointless, if so, just get the redesign 16+ 1200cc. that has a ton of extra features and is 2x the bike. I have owned many Triumphs. They are very good for what they are all around. Good video.

My friend this is a really great video thank ya so much!!! I'm a beginner, I just got my license and looking to buy a Triumph as my first bike. I'm actually undecided between the T100 and the Thruxton. Which one would you suggest? And would it be possible, buying a second hand, to upgrade one of this bike from Euro2 to 3 to comply with the new regulations? Thanks, ciao :)

What year is this one exactly ?

i had a 67 bonneville tt drag pipes i would dust harleys back then.

Did you ever try the Triumph Street Bob?

My buddy has one of these I was going to try and ride it but it was really awkward to get up because I’m on the shorter side so I decided not to try and ride definitely a cool looking bike though

Since buying my first bike in September I've realized a like the look of the cafe racer, but not the riding position. The Bonnie is way more suitable for me. I put slightly lower euro style handlebars on my 1975 Honda CB750. I don't think I'd go much lower than that. I find the bar end mirrors work way better than the stock mirrors...I can actually see behind me with the bar ends.

I don't know...lots of people love the harley v-twin sound, but to me, the sound of a good powerful 360 parallel twin has to be the best. I'd get the regular Bonneville (upright bars and pegs) with the upswept exhaust of the Thruxton. Had an 850 Yamaha triple (1980) that I customized very slightly and improved the looks of greatly, I think :-). Took the rusted buckhorn semi ape-hanger pseudo-chopper bars off and put bonneville-style bars on, and took the big ugly airbox off and put on three cone-shaped K&N style air cleaners on. Much better, much cleaner, but it was still a noisy, shaky, overweight nuisance of a beast. Not sorry to see that one go.

Is the Thruxton smaller than the Thunderbird 900 Sport you were so enthusiastic about ?

Gloves are more chosen for protection no matter what bike you ride. Tarmac at high speed is very abrasive!

You are wrong, if a car is going around the roundabout you should stop because they have the right of way, that's why it says yield, you don't have to stop but when needed.

Ohh this bike with pair of brown leather boots is all i need). It 'd look gorgeous with red jacket, brown scarf , boots , leather brown gloves , dark jeans chaotic medium-long hairstyle and aviator shaped sunglasses 🙌

The biggest difference in those 2 bikes are the steering angle. The thruxton has 2 or 3 degrees steeper steering than the bonneville for faster reactions. So the frames are not exactly the same..

And the SE have smaller and lighter mag wheels.

Currently Enjoying a 2004 BMW K1200GT. She's heavy but fast.

Not sure you know what you are talking about. Its NOT stock it has aftermarket mufflers on.

Hey shaun, what would you put the m109r as on the skill level?

I'd say expert. It's s heavy bike and fast as hell. It's not hard to ride per se but not a forgiving bike to learn on. My riding buddy has one , I ride it sometimes , the acceleration on this thing is no joke.

I thought I was the only one who uses the passenger pegs on long rides. LOL

i'd love one! i agree that making your own cafe bike seems unwise, it would be a lot less than $18,000!

is it the stock exhaust that sound this good????

This honestly wasn't such a great "review" of the motorcycle. This felt more of like random thoughts that popped into your head while you were riding this bike for the first time. If you're wanting to do a video with a click bait title like that you should actually lay out facts of the bike. Push the bike a bit in your review so you can let people know your thoughts and opinions of what's good/bad, what you'd recommend to change/not change etc. The only real advice from this video that's good for potential people buying a Thruxton is that it's a good intermediate level bike.

Had a 500 triumph when I was a kid 👍😎

Great review. Thanks
