i took my 15 plate thruxton 900 in for it's 6000 mile service & the MOT,all's good it passed with no advisories as i expected, the loan bike was better than i expected, it was a thruxton RS 1200, i couldn't believe how well it handled & the power was something else, i absolutely loved the ride.maybe one day, who know's.
Sadly for you there is now no escape their magic spell as they have gained control of your mind .... and your bank account
Test ride an R then shop for secondhand one if you like it? You could change for £2k or so. £6k+ saving before you factor in depreceation on the RS.
My thoughts exactly, but even though I know the 1200 is a better bike, my 900 puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.
I love my 900 motor and didn’t get on with the 1200 when I test rode a Bonnie ... for the speeds and performance I want the 900 is perfectly fine and with the lighter weight & better fuel economy I have a smile on my face every time I ride it too ... if a bike keeps you smiling it’s doing something right to connect with your inner self
