Really poor design from Triumph. Can't adjust the chain or change a tyre without removing the exhaust. I have BC exhaust tips which make it much easier and sound great. They do look a bit daggy (I;m from NZ so you translate) though and save weight.

Without a doubt, the GSXR by Suzuki is an iconic example of a well designed and very popular motorcycle. Capable of performing on the track or on the street with ease and providing the rider much enjoyment. When I saw this Suzuki, I I could tell immediately it was well-maintained. I’m sure it will go to a new owner quickly.

@@spark_monster Buell is an amazing American motorcycle. The new models can be seen at Kaplan‘s Cycles in Rockville Connecticut. Also the home of the New England Motorcycle Museum. You can have one made to your specifications, including many custom options.
Cool!
Cool!
Nooooooo not bags on that bike ?!!! 🤮
What is nice about America is the freedom have our own opinions and still get along and live together. That should be the goal of every American.
Packing bags on that bike ??😢
@stefanlageambecker6077 Riders may think it unusual for a café racer to have luggage but I find it comes in handy when you want to do an overnight trip or a long ride which may require bringing extra gear or consumables. Triumph does an excellent job at producing accessory panniers and tank bag that matches the classic style of the bike. I published a video about mounting the panniers and tank bag on the Thruxton RS. Realizing that everyone has different preferences for how the bike should look and I do think the bike has a cleaner look without the luggage, however, I don’t notice it when I’m driving down country roads enjoying maneuvering in the tight corners. The added convenience of having needed items and riding gear with you, I think outweighs any perceived negative aesthetics in the appearance of the bike. May you have happy and safe motorcycle adventures. Thank you for commenting.
Who stamps your service book for proof it has been serviced?
@@martinbaldam6676 I keep receipts and record all service done either by myself or a shop. I’ve done it this way for all the bikes I’ve owned and so for haven’t had any challenges. I asked the dealers for approval and so far none have objected. Some of the motorcycles I purchase do not have any warranty left on them so that would make it a non issue. I like to know exactly how my bike is maintained so I choose to do the maintenance myself. For a person who is not mechanically inclined, I would recommend using a dealer for the service to ensure that the motorcycle is in a safe riding condition.
12:02 I love how happy he looks with how the sound turned out - awesome sounding exhaust
@@lulem400 the Ducati Monster1100 EVO is one of my favorite bikes to ride..It is the last of the air-cooling models and the performance is exhilarating along with the handling and the simplicity of the light weight compactness. Adding the Workes slip on exhaust brought out the monster alive! Thanks for your comment, and may you have many happy riding adventures.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Thanks for your reply. I just finished building a Honda CB550 and it was a blast to do. I am looking for a complete bike that has that throaty exhaust note and I'm definitely leaning towards the Ducati. Is it a comfortable bike over distance or is it an around town bike for shorter trips?
@@lulem400 My 2013 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO has a forward leaning riding position with standard straight bars that gives you a sporty feeling when cornering and accelerating. The stock seat is comfortable and doesn’t cramp your riding comfort. A medium 5’5”-6’ build person will find that the Ducati will fit perfectly. There are no luggage options other than aftermarket soft bags or actop of the tank clip on tank bag, neither which I have. I use an aerodynamic back pack when needed, to bring belongings along. My rides range anywhere from 50 to 250 miles, and I have found that those longer distances can create some discomfort towards the end of the mileage, which may be due to my physical abilities rather than the motorcycle. Keep in mind that the monster acts like one and does rumble and roar and with some vibrations, but not to the point that they are really annoying or tiring. I haven’t had the option to ride one of the newer monsters, so this perspective is based on the last air cooled version which I own. The newer models have a lot more technology and possibly a smoother ride with the discontinuation of the trellis frame system. I hope this explanation gives you some idea as to what to expect if you decide to own a Ducati monster.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Very helpful - what I was expecting but still want one : )
These are nice bikes but I just can’t seem to warm up to them. I’d rather have a Thruxton, Bobber, or some other bigger classic- which I can’t afford now cause I put $13K into a new Honda CB1000r 😂
@@leekerr6727 the Triumph Scrambler 400X Is very well built, but still a lower horsepower lightweight motorcycle. It fits a niche for certain riders that like the classic style without the weight and higher price of the larger models. It delivers that kind of satisfaction, with its unique qualities. Triumph designed the Scrambler 400 X and the Speed 400 to be sold in Asian countries as well as European and North and South America where the younger generation riders are looking for that type of motorcycle. If I didn’t own so many motorcycles already, I would be inclined to buy one because it was a lot of fun!
@@lifetimeadventures9107 That’s exactly what I was wondering. How Many do you Own? I’ve now got 4 (two mini motos Monkey and Super Cub) so I’d have to sell at least one to make room.
So, when you get engine hot then you should feel difference where lean mixture do problems... ------ I just got V-Boost from Mistral. What a disappointment for 150€! If I had just known what it will be in the box! There is no "device," just two connectors with a few wires and a simple temperature sensor. Toooo expensive! So, lets dive into what does V-Boost actually do? Basically, it works as a secondary air temperature sensor (ATS) placed in a cooler location. It acts as kinda interceptor for the original IATS data traveling to the ECU (see pic). V-Boost intercepts it and sends forward cooler data. V-Boost targets the fuel mixture related to air temperature. It benefits air-cooled machines that undergo ECU liposuction to comply with emission standards. V-Boost is a good medicine for potential knocking and for situations described below in points 9-12. Don't expect other performance improvements; any other possible or "feels like" improvements are just collateral. Here are a few basic facts supporting this theory (by HPAcademy.com) 1. One of the most critical parameters we need to measure to do this is the intake air temperature monitored by an intake air temp sensor or IAT sensor for short. 2. As the air temperature changes, so does the air density. 3. Hot air has a lower density, and contains less oxygen hence, less fuel is needed to maintain a constant air/fuel ratio. 4. On the other hand, cold air is denser, containing more oxygen and thus requiring additional fuel. 5. The intake air temp sensor provides air temperature information to the ECU, which can then be referenced by compensation tables 6. Where the intake air temp sensor is mounted is also important in order to give the ECU a realistic measure of the actual temperature of the air entering the engine. 7. Often intake air temp sensors are fitted into the intake manifold which might sound ideal, but in my own experience, this can actually create a few problems 8. While at high air flow values, the sensor will give an accurate measure of the true inlet charge temperature 9. The intake manifold can also be prone to heat soaking at low speed or when the engine is shut off. 10. This results in excessively high readings on a hot restart or when idling in traffic. 11. In this situation, the intake air temperature sensor is being influenced by the heat of the intake manifold rather than the actual temperature of the air and this affects the accuracy of the air/fuel ratio 12. The common result is an engine that runs excessively lean and responds erratically for a few minutes after a hot restart. 13. I personally (author) find the best compromise is to fit the intake air temperature sensor into the intake pipe just before the throttle body (Mistrals sends it further away - under seat) In very simplified terms, with V-Boost, the engine runs as with classic DellOrtos, where there aren't any on-spot corrections regarding air density, e.g., temperature - it's just a constant flood with a rich mixture, which helps with engine cooling (contrary to popular opinion - gasoline play role as a coolant also). Anyway, I think that V-Boost is a pretty clever idea for air-cooling engines!

It’s unfortunate that you have vertigo. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Hi Barry, nice job with this video, as always. We love visiting the New England Motorcycle Museum. He's hosted a number of our NESC rider reunions. Thanks for sharing! -Andy
@@cbxandy9441 Thank you, Andy, that was my first time visiting the Museum. Nice people and a great place to visit. Seeing all those motorcycles from the past, brought back memories of the good times putting on the miles riding with friends.
I like it ❤
I’ve got a 2000 1100 , also choppy in low speeds. Stating with cleaning injectors first. May need to do more.
Thanks for your subscription and interest in the channel. It’s unfortunate that the Moto Guzzi company has not found a solution for this erratic throttle response. It may have something to do with the compliance issues with emissions. I have heard that putting a bypass Y pipe to eliminate the catalytic converter adds to the performance and smoother running. I may decide to install one of those in the future. I have yet to try out the new Stelvio so that may be the ultimate solution for better performance and more power. Enjoy your Italian machine with many happy rides.
where di you get the leather key wrap!! 18:00

Do you like it better than your green/silver?
I think the competition green with the gold Striping and Triumph logo give the bike a very classic appearance. Kind of what a custom bike would look like in the past. The Final Edition is very unique as it comes with authenticating documentation and a special engine plate that can be mounted on the bike or displayed in a frame. That said, I really do like the final edition livery more than the custom competition green with silver that I ride. I’m very fond of the British racing green color and have owned several vehicles with that color including a 1971 Jaguar XKE. No matter what color you choose, the ultimate experience is riding a Thruxton for its performance, not just for the appearance. Good luck finding one….. there may be still some available somewhere in this country, if not, there are other 2023 RS models that are still available in the showroom. There is a black one at Street Stuff Cycle in Norwich Connecticut. Happy Riding Adventures.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 True say, that FE racing green is simply gorgeous. And looks even better in person.
Disgusting 😡
We all have our own perception of what is pleasing to our senses. It’s a good thing that motorcycles come in many makes and models to choose from. May you find pleasure with the riding experience that you enjoy.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 No that's not what I mean
@@AndySmith4501 Oh, I understand… you find it disgusting that Triumph will not be producing the Thruxton anymore?
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Yes.
My V twin boost is on the way, thanks for the video. I’ll refer back to it when I install mine. I got a question for you, I see you have the Leo Vince slip on. I’m torn between that one and the mistral hexagon pipe. Did you notice a significant difference when you swapped out the new pipe for the factory one?
There wasn’t an extreme change from the stock set up. I liked the Leo Vince sound and appearance. You do get a little more pleasing Exhaust note. It’s just a little louder than the stock exhaust. I feel like it did improved the acceleration with a better throttle response. It also weighed less than the original one. I don’t have any experience with the mistrial Exhaust, but I am sure there are some videos that will give you an insight as to whether you’d like that type of system. I think the V-twin boost did improve the operation of the motor by making it run smoother at lower RPMs, and also allowing for smoother acceleration. Thank you for your comment and may you have many happy miles riding your Moto Guzzi.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Okay, thanks, and same to you.
Panniers and tank bag😢 was great until fairing..cafe racer?
I’m not sure what you have for an opinion. The panniers and tank bag are easily removable and so and is the fairing. Is your comment alluding to the fact that you like the naked bike configuration rather than the dressed up version? Either way it’s nice to hear other peoples points of view. Thank you for your comment.
Dear, I have a Bonnie T120 2023, the factory Michelin tyres do not give a good ride. Can you explain me please, why you have chosen Phanthom Pirelli? Tk u in advance, Dante from Germany.
Hello Dante, I’ve had Michelin, Metzler, Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Perelli tires on my sports cars and motorcycles over the years. The Perelli‘s are a performance tire with a combination of rubber compounds that make them the best handling that also gives a smooth ride. In the past, the technology for a combining rubber compounds was not as advanced as it is now. Back then the Perelli tires didn’t have a high mileage capability. Jump forward to today and the technology has allowed for a combination of materials that not only gives high-performance but extended mileage during use. Michelin makes a good tire but there are factors that can influence how the tire performs . Under inflating and over inflating can cause distortion in the tread and gives a poor ride. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure each time before riding your bike. Extended wear on the tires will also reduce performance and could be dangerous in high-speed cornering and breaking. I don’t try to get the total mileage out of my tires because I like to have fresh rubber under me, I will replace them when they are worn down to 30 to 40% or over five years old. I have a number of motorcycles to choose to ride so most of the time they get replaced because of age and not wear. I hope these words give you some insight as to which tires are best for you. Thank you for your question and I wish you many happy miles on your riding adventures.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Dear, I appreciate your master class on tires. You have taken the time to give me a clear explanation. Once I change the Michelin I will send you my comments, I guess they will be Pirelli Phantom. Again greetings from Germany. 😎
@@Dante-do6ju You won’t be disappointed with the Perelli tires. Make sure you keep the tire pressure set at the proper levels and they should last many miles. You live in a great country and I appreciate the engineering that goes into the machines that I drive from Germany, BMW, cars and motorcycles. Happy two wheeled adventures.
Are you going to buy a final edition?
If I didn’t already own a 2023 Thruxton RS, I would definitely consider purchasing the 2024 Final Edition, and that’s if I could find one available. I believe they are very hard to obtain because of being sold out at most of the dealers. Triumphs are a unique motorcycle that provides everything from the classic twins, to dual purpose three cylinder and three cylinder sport bikes, to the super cruiser like the Rocket. Also now offering the smaller size with the new 400 cc Street and 400 cc Scrambler. If you don’t have a Triumph already, you should definitely take a ride to your local dealer and check them out. In New England I like Street Stuff Cycle in Norwich, Connecticut. Check out their inventory on their website. www.streetstuffcycle.com.
Did you use the stock risers or did you install the lower risers that come with the kit? If you did you the stock risers, can you turn the bars to full lock both ways?
Yes, I have the stock clip on bars in use on the Thruxton RS. When you watch the video pay attention to my comments about that the stock bars. When in their original factory position they do not interfere with the fairing when turning full stop each way. May you have lots of pleasurable rides on whatever motorcycle you choose to enjoy life with. If it’s the Triumph Thruxton RS be prepared for a lot of fun.
Thrux
🙏😎👍
double fender looks bad.. better to use the piramid one.
Well the good thing about life is everybody can have their own opinion. I didn’t care too much about how the bike looked with the fender on. I just wanted it to keep the debris off the motor and off of me, which it does very efficiently. Thank you for your comment and your opinion.
Top tip don't forget to turn the kill switch on as well.
Hi Barry, thanks again for sharing your fun riding videos. If I still had my KTM 950 Adventure I'd join you for another trail ride. Unfortunately my FJR1300 doesn't like the trails as much. :) I look forward to seeing you the next time I visit Dennis. Thanks again!
I am pleased to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Riding on the trails is just another way to have fun on your motorcycle. Getting on the FJR 1300 and touring on the country roads is also a great way to have a motorcycling lifetime adventure. Maybe we can set up a time to ride those roads together. Thanks for your comment and your continued support.🏍️🏍️
@@lifetimeadventures9107 thanks, I'd like that too, -Andy
Thanks for nice review. I was looking for information about possibility to install FE with original high clip ons and I got it. Don’t want to change my current riding position which I find comfortable for daily ride. Safe roads and vivid emotions!
As you know from watching the video, I like the original high clip on bars much better than the lower position bars that come with the dolphin faring kit. Some people decide to put a different triple tree top with conventional bar mounts and wider and higher bars. You might as well purchase a Triumph Bonneville if you’re going to ride like that. You are one of the fortunate owners to have been able to purchase a Final Edition. They are becoming very difficult to find. My dealer told me that most of them are already pre sold. That means with the high demand the price will increase quickly. Enjoy your ride.
I have been owning Truxton R for 4 years and I absolutely love it. When I came to Triumph shop mine intention was to buy a Speed tween, but then I took a sit and ride on Truxton R and felt that this is my bike. I like how it looks and how it feels on the roads. I think Faring can improve riding comfort and esthetic looks. 4 years have passed already, but I am still excited with every ride. Keep enjoying your life!
Congratulations on your good choice of purchasing a Triumph Thruxton. I think the Speed Twin was going to be my choice also. I think it is a very desirable machine with similar handling characteristics, but after looking at and sitting on the Thruxton with the optional competition green and silver colors, I knew that was the bike for me. Now after owning the bike for over a year, I am glad that I chose the Thruxton RS. Thanks for your comment and may you have many enjoyable rides on your joy machine.
Is it the same green on the final edition ?
The colors are the same. It is called “competition green”. I have checked with my local dealer to see what the availability is and they claimed that they are all sold in advance at this time. If you are considering purchasing one, it’s going to be a challenge. The performance is identical to the 2023 Thruxton RS like mine, which you may be able to find used somewhere in the United States. Getting one with the competition green and silver colors may be a challenge because that was a special production option that cost extra for that paint color combination. Thanks for your interest and for watching the video. May you find what you’re looking for and have some happy adventures riding your Triumph, or whatever model motorcycle you choose.
if u need to repair the headlights do u need to take the entire fairing off?
I believe the answer would be yes, but it’s very easy to remove. Most of the effort putting the fairing on is rearranging the wiring and directional signals, and putting on the under frame that holds the fairing to the motorcycle. Once that’s all done, removing the fairing is as simple as unscrewing a few allen head bolts up near the windscreen and a couple under the headlight. After that, you can access the headlight internals by simply unscrewing the fastening screw on the side of the bezel, and there you are in full access to all the wires and headlight bulb. I would think that it would be very rare that you’d have to open the headlight up for maintenance. Thanks for your question and your comment and for watching the video. Enjoy your riding experiences.
Thanks for the input. My FE should be arriving any day now. Owning a bunch of old Norton and Triumphs this bike is a must have. It was a no brainer for me to order the fairing since it is the cherry on top of a quintessential cafe racer. Completes the look. I appreciate your review. Looking forward to riding into the past on this work of art. Cheers
David, it sounds like you have very unique collection of motorcycles. I’m envious of the Norton machine. I had a chance to ride a commando years back and it will forever live in my memory of the performance and handling of that bike. The Thruxton comes close and with all the modern touches, it is a very sweet ride and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the final edition model. Enjoy this riding season coming up and go on some fun adventures. Thanks for your comments and input.
I’m planning on getting a Thruxton soon- maybe this very color. I like both looks- with and without fairing. Seems like it would be a bit too much work to go back and forth? Maybe just twice a year for summer and winter?
I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed owning a Thruxton. I find that I use the Thruxton most often amongst all my motorcycles that I ride. The fairing installation is not that complicated and like I said in the video it can be changed to the original configuration in about an hour. Since I have installed the dolphin fairing, I feel as though I will not be removing it because I enjoy the wind protection and the appearance. I recently equipped the Thruxton with a Triumph tank bag and find it to be very useful. I intend to publish a video review of the tank bag and again the panniers with some extra mounting hardware tips that will prevent the bags from detaching accidentally. Thank you for watching the video and checking out my channel. May you have many hours of happy riding adventures ahead.
@@lifetimeadventures9107 Thank you sir! Yes it looks so good with the fairing I may never want to take it off. Knowing me, I’ll be lazy and just have the dealer install/uninstall it for me during services.
That’s not a final edition
You are correct and observant. The bike in the video is a 2023 special edition RS with the custom paint color combination. The final edition will come in a similar solid green color with gold pinstriping and Triumph logo and final edition lettering. There will be no changes in the power output or functionality of the motorcycle from the 2023 model. Thank you for watching the video and tuning into the channel. If I can find a special edition model, I will do a walk around video of it. Enjoy your riding adventures.
For future value of information about the videos, please check the description for every video that I produce. I believe that you will find a statement in there describing the content in the video. Corvettes are an amazing vehicle and a great ride. Enjoy your driving and riding experiences.
Hmmm, I too have a Ural Retro (ok, 2) and a Triumph T120 (w/ Hannigan), among others...
Hello James, it sounds like you have the same syndrome I have. 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️…L O L Well there are worse addictions to have than collecting motorcycles. It is nice to have a choice of which motorcycles to ride for our next adventure on two wheels. Thanks for checking out the channel and have a lot of fun on those special machines that bring so much joy to our lives.
Triumph motorcycle is a lovely looking classic. But are they dependable now?
I agree with you and thanks for the comment and taking the time to watch the videos. One of the reasons that I decided to purchase two of them was the classic appearance with modern mechanical technology. So far, I’ve had only pleasant rides with no breakdowns on my triumphs. I do remember the old ones with the different electrical problems and oil leaks that they had, however these new modernized Triumphs have been fully redesigned without losing their aesthetic appeal. They are much more powerful and 100% reliable. I would highly recommend that you test drive one. They have many models to choose from. my local dealer is in Norwich, Connecticut at Street Stuff Cycle. They are offering some fabulous deals for this riding season for both Triumphs and Indian motorcycles. Give them a call at +1 (860) 886-5902 and check out their website. www.streetstuffcycle.com
Great bike buddy had mine a year now best bike I’ve ever owned it’s a keeper great video cheers James from uk👌🏍🏍👍
Nice to hear from someone from that beautiful island country across the sea. When I take my Triumph T120 out for a ride, I think of how enjoyable it would be to ride down some of those English country lanes. I’ve managed to find some similar roads in this country. Triumph motorcycles have come along way with their ability to produce enjoyable, stylish and classic motorcycles. Enjoy your riding adventures and thank you for watching.
Nice ride but that’s not the FE
You are very observant and correct, The final edition comes in a solid color British racing green with gold trim pinstriping. They are very difficult to find because people are buying them up. I published the video as a reminder for anyone who is looking for one seriously, they should contact their local Triumph dealer and see what the availability is. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the complimentary hearts . May you have some riding adventures in the future…🏍️👍🥰

I had a good time riding with you. Looking forward to getting back out there again.
Thanks, I enjoyed having the ride with you also. We’ll make the time to get out and explore more off road trails.
Thanks for the video, it answers the question I've been wondering ... should I fit the Thruxton fairing that has been sitting in a box for a year? The only question now is ... what colour? The Thruxton is ice-silver but the Triumph green looks fantastic ... perhaps I'll do a combination of the two.
I like both colors a lot, but I tend to favor the green as I’ve had vehicles in the past with that same color. I think that you can purchase a wrap color if you decided to change silver.

Check out their website they may have it listed for sale to see how a wrap looks on the tank. www.streetstuffcycle.com Thanks for your comment and for watching. Whatever color you choose enjoy your riding adventures on a classic motorcycle.
Great job! Thanks......C J from Atlanta
Thank you, CJ for the compliment. The Pirelli tires really made a difference with how the Triumph Bonneville performed and they continue to perform well. May you have enjoyable riding adventures this season. I see that the temperature in the southern states has warmed up nicely. I am looking forward to some of that warm weather coming this way. Thanks for watching.
nice video man, enjoy it!
Thank you for the compliment. I do enjoy riding and producing videos. It is a privilege to be able to share the good times with others in the world. It’s nice to know that you appreciate and enjoy watching them. Happy riding adventures.🏍️
I'm looking for instruction for Street cup, couldn't find many. I'm guessing it might be similar due to rear seat cowl ?
I do know that the brackets that hold the panniers and the attachment clip hardware that mount to the frame under the seat, are specific for each model motorcycle. For those part numbers and information as to whether they would apply to the Street Cup, I would suggest that you contact a Triumph motorcycle dealership to obtain the part numbers or to order the proper mounting brackets and fastening clips. I know that Reagan at Street Stuff Cycle would be able to help you. This is their phone number. +1 (860) 886-5902. Thanks for your comment/question, and may you find what you’re looking for. Happy riding adventures on your Triumph Street Cup.🏍️
Incredibly beautiful machines. Seems to me the Tenere has the edge offroad whilst the V85 is better on pavement and for longer rides. Based off the looks and charm the V85 wins me over especially in that kalahari brown paint scheme.
Thank you for your comment. I tend to agree with your opinion about the bikes. The Tenere is a really capable machine that will outperform the stock V-85. It is lighter and more agile with a more capable suspension. The Moto Guzzi has its advantages for comfortable touring with a mix of gravel roads and some moderate non-technical off-road trails. I guess it all depends upon your riding style and personal taste. Happy riding adventures.
Kinda ridiculous that triumph does not allow maintenance resets to be done thru the motorcycle gauge. Literally all other vehicles can do service resets. IMO just another way for triumph to make an easy buck. FYI love your videos! Great help when I work on my Thruxton sir!
Hello John, yes, I agree they should correct that issue in their future production models. Most of the mechanics that I speak to would like to see that happen also. Thank you for your comment and compliment. It’s nice to know that another person is enjoying watching the videos and riding a Triumph Thruxton. Happy riding adventures.
