The Thruxton is far behind the Öhlins and Showa-equipped "R" in terms of sporty performance. This becomes particularly clear on the Alpine passes, where a good chassis, strong brakes and light handling are crucial. In return, it rewards the eye of the aesthete with an even more authentic, because more classic, exterior. Laymen can hardly distinguish a new Thruxton from a vintage or youngtimer. Like the Street Twin, it has a sympathetic effect on passers-by and should be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.
