Maybe slightly different to the usual posts, but combining two things I love. Photography and motorcycles.

First bike. Have it about a fortnight.

I'm sure some wont care for the retro style but plenty of poke for me!

2016 865cc Thruxton with factory custom paint.

If I was going to have an argument with the wife it might as well be for something nice!

It's having surgery at the weekend.

Nearly bought one instead of the GSX. Whats it like?

I love it, its a big change from the 900 I had before but its ideal for commuting.

Im 6 foot 4 so I needed a tall bike and this fit great, I hadn't considered a 125 at all until I saw this in bikeworld

blade1 · 09-05-2019 6:11pm

Getting prepared for the butcher's block :eek:

Its great fun! The Maxxis 6024 are very grippy no issues but they do whine a bit at speed.
When I bought it the forks were way too soft, stock springs are 0.4kg/mm, I replaced them with Racetech springs 0.75kg/mm and used 7.5wt fork oil.
They are a lot better now, the bike is much more balanced through corners and doesn't dive as much under braking.
They really are a lot of fun.

I think we may cross paths the odd evening on the N1 around whitehall. Always admired it going by and took me a while to figure out the model.

Sweet.
The gpz's are finally creeping up a bit in value.
You're normally looking at at least 3000 now for a half decent one.
Your's looks like a minter!

Lee have a 1986 GSX 400 for €1490, been there a while now. They had a GPZ 550 until recently as well.

Posted my bike before, but just got a new lid to match & had to post it cos I’m so delighted with it

Filip at mad clown design painted it for me.
Considering he didn’t have the bike in his possession it’s spot on!

Really happy with it

Sure
It’s a Thruxton R1200
Was painted in the UK & used as a demo bike by triumph. I bought it from a dealer in Huddersfield about two year ago.

Hotblack Desiato · 30-05-2019 10:19am

Niiiice.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 30-05-2019 2:52pm

That Thruxton deserves a photo shoot.. Beautiful
