Rode all three bikes today from the 48cc 1hp Batavus to the 865cc 68hp Thruxton to the 140hp plus Rocket111 and had a blast on each bike, power is not every thing some times you have to sit back and enjoy the ride
The Thruxton is a lot of fun. I rode one a couple of weeks before I bought my Thunderbird. I was at the dealer and a guy wanted to do a demo ride. The dealership was pretty busy that day so I offered to escort the guy on a demo ride. I hopped on the Thruxton as it was one of the bikes on my radar. It's a definitely a fun bike to tool around on. That said, I like the Thunderbird better (obviously).
