That was the most pleasantly non-hipster bike video i’ve seen in weeks. Just a hard AF rider tearing the desert a new asshole, no pretense, or fancy camera work, just skill.

I know its not really a direct comparison, but i still just compare the S1000r to both the RnineT and this new Thruxton. More of everything performance wise, full electronic suspension, heated grips, cruise control, incredibly refined and comfortable. Yes, if you absolutely must have the ‘nostalgia’ factor, then it…

until you get to that bill at the end of your major service every 7500 miles for the air cooled models....

Great article!! But lets be serious, you must have got ATGATT shamed a littttle bit from Siler at some point, amirite??!! :)

Do you prefer the new xdiavel or the old diavel as far as riding position goes?. In my mind i would prefer the conventional ergonomics of the original for the performance this bike offers.

I mean this more or less genuinely, but honestly, what is HD’s rationale for charging 16k for this thing? It hasn’t improved in performance or spec in ages. I understand the concept of paying for a name, ‘ahem ducati’, but i’d really like to know what they think is on offer for that kind of coin at this point.

confirmed......awesome?

i would love to see a 75$ jacket sliding down the road at 55 mph......said no one ever. Is your skin worth 75$??

i find it difficult to imagine honda releasing a V4 based superbike with more appeal than the RSV4. What is Honda going to beat Aprilia on? Sound? I doubt it. Price? Debatable. Electronics? Not likely. Desirability? While so called ‘Honda quality’ still carries some weight, short of dealer network, i don’t know many…

thank you. This is a north american thing, and it drives me up the wall too.
