Street Twin?
 

OMO - have any of you seen/riden the new(ish) Street Twin yet?

Re: Street Twin?
 

nope but with a seat hight of 750mm i might just go for a test ride at some point.

Re: Street Twin?
 

That is just too nice for words!

Reminds me of a Norton Commando...

Not in the flesh.
The Thruxton R is a winner
Looking forward to seeing the 800 stripele though!

Re: Street Twin?
 

how much for the thruxtor r... i could get 2 new SV's for that... it would have to be something very very special to get me to part with that kinda dosh. dont get me wrong is a lovely looking bike but at £11.7k ermm no.

Re: Street Twin?
 

Didn't like the street twin myself. Would rather have an older carbed hinkley. The thruxton is beautiful though, but like you say that is big money, could get a brand new tiger sport for that.

Yes it has the trick suspension. Yes it's expensive.
Just don't let the Mrs know how much....

I test rode the Street Twin last Tuesday, less power than SV, less torque than SV, not as tall as SV, similar riding position as SV N, went ok, handled ok.
It felt physically small to me and I'm only 5' 8. Test ride was 40 odd mile mix town m-way and twisty country roads.

The T120 I tested after that............. Totally different kettle of fish.
More power, much much more torque, anti arthritic hip riding position, handled really well.

Car sold, SV sold, wifey going on eBay etc to make sure I can get one.

Need to order this week to make sure I get it before the Phantoms rally in Belgium August.........

Any donations to my paypal account please !!!!

Surely no need to put the wife on ebay!

... What's the starting bid? Any reserve?
