Triumph is showing their new line of modern vintage bikes today. I'm going later on to see it in flesh and compare to our bikes especially Thruxton R.

I typed Thailandese but the spellcheck changed it to Taiwanese. I have a red R on order also!
BPHORSEGUY said:That review sounds like it was written by Triumph. He even praises the single front rotor which has been criticized for years! The bikes on the tour are not runners and don't have engine internals, per the techs. There is one running Street Twin that was at some of the training sessions and a few Tour stops. It does sound good on the videos!
