    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.

    @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.

    @@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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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 ?

  • @lifetimeadventures9107
    @lifetimeadventures91072 ай бұрын

    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?

  • @lifetimeadventures9107
    @lifetimeadventures91072 ай бұрын

    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?

  • @lifetimeadventures9107
    @lifetimeadventures91072 ай бұрын

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

    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.

  • @lifetimeadventures9107
    @lifetimeadventures91073 ай бұрын

    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. Street Stuff Cycle did a custom wrap job on a triumph Bonneville. 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.

    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.

    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.

  • @lifetimeadventures9107
    @lifetimeadventures91073 ай бұрын

    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.
