Thruxton R

Replace for what ?

So I’ve not used it for a year now ... love it 2 look at but the riding position isn’t for me any more ... so it’s time for it 2 go :rob

Now I have 2018 GSA and a 2003 Bonneville. So what fills the gap ?

Looked at the Z900 RS but looks very plasticky

Keep going back to the R9T ... but feels old technology

Fancy Triumph speed twin but think it needs spoked wheels

Any other suggestions? Except a Harley... I just can’t do that :barf

That's not what you were saying at Wheels and Waves last year. Don't worry though your little secret is safe. No one needs to find out.
 
Can’t believe spoked wheels aren’t available for the Speed Twin, agree it would look better with them but it wouldn’t put me off one.
 
I can't remember where I read/watched it, but the 7 spoke aluminum wheels are much lighter than the spoked, contributing to the weight difference (and specifically unsprung weight) between the Thruxton and the Speed Twin.

Agree spokes look nice though.

I'm waiting for my Indian FTR to arrive in the next week or so.
Sold my GS Lc after 5 years, great bike but just fancied a total change.
Only the second new bike out of 15 that I ordered without a test ride.
Hope I haven't fu-- up , anyway I was a bit like yourself and looked at every thing under the sun
Before placing the order, oh well here goes nothing.
