Did you just buy that beauty today ..? A very clean and well looked after bike…..or is it new? looks like you braved the cold weather and been out for a spin, will be 11 degrees tomorrow so alot warmer …. You have to ride a thruxton to fully understand what a joy it is. Happy days.
Yes, new to me at about 2pm today! Was cold, but the sun was out and it was quite nice. Did about 40 miles on it and started to feel the cold. Just hoping I can complete running it in before the salt gets laid on the roads.
Hey Tony, a very exiting day for you as it was for me too…. i bought mine new at the beginning of October , just so that you know, when mine was new i did have some concerns about how clunky the gear changing was, this is just normal and will get easier as you do a some miles, was most notably smoother and quieter after the first 400 mile service…… mine is now smooth as you like……..
Thanks.... Gearbox felt fine, lightest clutch I have ever used. Assumed should keep it below 4000rpm, which was actually quite difficult as it revs up quickly. Low clip ons felt fine, had back ache but had that in the car going up. Would like to keep the low ones as they really suit the stance of the bike. Nice matt black, I think that is the only colour that suits the gold and yellow suspension.
