    So I have my BMW R1250GS for my touring days or days in the colder weather. I also have a 2024 Street Triple RS for those summer days out for a blast.

    But, I can't stop looking at the Thruxton RS bikes, especially with the front cowl, I'm thinking running one of those alongside the GS and I could be covered totally. As much as I love the Street Triple RS I just love the look of the Thruxton RS (I could stare at it all day), could remove the clip ons and stick higher ones for a slightly better position.

    I put flat bars on my Thruxton R and it transformed the riding position. I’m not sure if this is possible with the nose fairing though.

    Rear wheel i use wd40 for the first clean then I use a snow foamer connected to my pressure washer and use (Rhino Goo) for that a motorcycle cleaner . I let that dwell for 4 to 5 mins then pressure wash off at a low pressure setting my washer has 3 settings then i put Autobrite ceramic infused shampoo.
