2016 Triumph Truxton R

Hi All

i am new in this forum and i though my first post should be like this. I have been biking over 10 years, had so many bikes over the years. Never had a triumph before as it never have the blink for me.
Currently owning a 2015 Ducati Multistarada 1200s DVT model, yes its an amazing bike but the drums always sounds better from distance . i though its best for me to sell it before i loose more money on it as for me i put around 6000 to 12000 miles per year. i ride in every season.

So Triumph first interest me with the Truxton R and NEW Speed Triple R, never ridden a triple before v twins v4s flat 6 but never a triple. but then realise the truxton is a lovely parallel twin.
Never ridden this kind of Cafe racer before only can compare it to BMW RnineT so dont shoot me

from the minute i start the engine to the minute i turn it off , it was a calm but very enjoyable bike. Truxton R supposed to be a little "race side" of truxton or Bonneville family, specially the suspension is a little hard they said in the reviews, but i find the settings quite comfort. the power delivery and on/off throttle respond was just amazing. Riding fly by wire motorbike from the day they come out, and this is one of the finest example of it.
The bike felt light as light as a Diavel and handle as well as a Diavel or Bmw RnineT. I felt it was as good fun as BMW RnineT however it was more refined. As much as i ride it like a sports bike i couldn't get the fuel spend under 50mpg. For me thats a big plus, but soon i realise he power delivery was very different. The truxton R become alive at 2000 rpm up to 4500 rpm then on the more top of the range it wasn't that strong. Run off steam on top i could say. But soon you kind of learn to leave with it. The torque was so good and available i was very suprise. i felt the torque was better then Ducati Multi at "URBAN MODE" (100hp). It never felt too fast or over powered , its liveable machine and for sure LOVEABLE. The finish was just perfect. it was better then Ducati or BMW, i would say one of the best finished Triumph on the show room.

So what did i do i put a deposit on then test ride the other gorgeous Triumph Speed Triple R then will decide what to do.

I am a biker and i love all bikes and ridden all kind, i don't have a just one type of bike and taste. i don't believe you cant commute with a BMW K1600 GT i did, i dont believe you cant be more comfortable two up on a ZX14R i and my wife did.

VERDICT
anyway Thank you for reading this as you migh realise i will be commuing , sunday riding and even may be touring on a Truxton R and definitely you will see big customs from me even if i get a Speed triple R or Truxton R.
So what is the verdict the speed triple and truxton was so close to each other in a weird way. They are not as strong as each other but weight similar , MPG similar usable torque similar. Practically they were both street naked class for me.

let me now your though 's

Cheers and hello From London Town

 

yeah i wish i have lots of money because i love them both. i am more in to Speed triple but Thruxton seemed so beautiful. The snachy throttle on Speed Triple was alittle of putting may be it was the demo bike

 

the bonnie needs to much update to make it like the typical bike i ride. thruxton R is very close. The Speed Triple was nice but yes i though the same thing how is it two up and is it better then thruxton R? yes Thruxton R doesnt even have a pilliion seat or pegs BUT is addable , you can even add a Quick Shifter lol
i must say both Speed and Thruxton was both smooth as butter ! even if i buy a Speed i will put clip ons and Thruxton R single head light ! i think the head light is simply beautiful !

 

i live in south east london and commute everyday to chelsea and mayfair so its the worst traffic london can throw you but i done it with bmw k 1600 gt and kawasaki gtr 1400 so not afraid to do it with a beauty like thruxton but you guys have nice comments i think triumph got nice community.
