    Hi folks,

    Been a Triumph fan for years. Recently added the Thruxton 1200 R to the stable (keeps the Super Duke R SE company) and actually haven't ridden it yet. It's snowing here and I'll have to wait until spring - so it's going to be a long - very long - winter here in Canada.

    I've owned quite a few bikes over the past 10 years (25), with 5 of them being Triumph's. I've had 3 Daytona 675's, with two of the "R" versions (2011 and 2013); along with a 2010 Thruxton.

    Still have a few bikes on the bucket list and fell in love with this one when I first saw it. Really looking forward to the improvements that they've made over the previous iteration of the bike, which I really enjoyed, but felt it was underpowered with inadequate brakes.

    Cheers,

    Michael O'Keeffe

    Some people likely think that Ron! The lighting in the dealership is so much better than my garage so I used that pic. When I went into the shop I had no intention of buying another bike ,but after seeing this beauty, I couldn't resist
