    NBD - The Thruxton has arrived!

    Picked up the 2025 Triumph Thruxton FE yesterday and put about 80 miles on it. Comparted to my Yamaha Tracer 9GT, it is tiny, narrow, louder, more engine heat, more weight on wrists, less wind protection, in short, it's perfect!

    It's hard to understand how much smaller it is than even the Tracer.

    Once I get past the initial break in: 300Mi<4000RPM + 300Mi<5000RPM + 200Mi<6000RPM + 200Mi<7000RPM, it will be a ripper. When I am riding it, I cannot really see any motorcycle in front of me.

    Bike is gorgeous! Kenn let me throw a leg over his Ton Up edition Thruxton and that bike truly impressed me. Enjoy!

    On a side note, are you glad you still have the Tracer? Seeing some value having 2 different kinds of bikes?

    1200cc twin

    Tons of torque. 210 miles sine Saturday, half up in Maine today.

    Still gently breaking her in.

    The riding is just free, not obstruction, just 2 wheels and an engine and the wind, perfect.

    Have no thrown a leg over the Tracer, but the plan is to leave the Thruxton in Maine, so I’ll be on the Tracer Wednesday

    Awesome bike, she’s beautiful. Pretty perfect match for cruising around Maine (with a knee on the deck.)

    Trust me, if my knee is on the deck, the rest of me soon will be as well.

    Nevertheless, it is a blast to ride, even at break in period revs.
