What do you guys think of the Truxton R. I am looking for something to ride with the wife on her Moto Guzzi V7 Racer. The 1299 is just to much to enjoy a nice pace with her on the V7 and my custom is way to slow. So I was thinking of adding to the stable. And the style of the R matches her V7 nicely. Thing is I have never owned a Triumph and know little if anything about the company. Also I think the bike will round out the collection. Give me your thoughts. The other choice might be a kawasaki ZXR1100 std.
 
Looks good. Modern suspension, electronics, and aides. Big engine and classic styling. Not bad at all..
 
My cousin has the earlier Thruxton, and it's a pretty comfortable ride. It has a little pep, is smooth and quite reliable. I am considering the new R as well.
 
The 2016 Triumph Thruxton R would be my choice for a second road bike.
A much better bike than previous Thruxton models.

While I do like the new Thruxton R and look forward to riding one--the perfect companion bike would of course be a Ducati SportClassic. I may be biased. :)

Bringing back the sport classic would be HUGE.
It's kind of like all-day breakfast at McDonalds; so obvious; why didn't they do it sooner?!
 
I personally don't think the Carolina blue/white will sell that great. I prefer grey.
