    bought new toy!

    With 93 oct gas around $4.30+ I figured it was time. Bought a 2011 triumph Thruxton 900. 45mpg is a pretty nice benefit.

    45 MPG? Is that in town? I would have thought much higher highway MPG. My 2004 Victory gets 42+ on the highway. Those Triumphs are sweet bikes. Too bad they are too small for my ginormous frame.

    Sweet, I'd love to have a bike, but other than fun I have no need for one. Plus you can use them 5-6 months a year here.

    Thruxtons are very nice bikes. If I could tolerate the leaned over style of riding Id own one, they are great looking bikes.

    You've got a real collector's item there! Most Triumphs are parallel twins!

    I LOVE THE THRUXTON!!!! always wanted one... ended up getting a night rod special and selling it because it just sat in the garage.

    Visit Triumphrat.net and check out all those nutjobs over there...

    Your pic doesnt work but a set of British Customs Predators make the bike sound like it should and an airbox delete kit will wake it up

    Nice bike!

    I'm sure your a safe rider..... just look out for the other jackwagons you have to share the road with!
