@@brentharrington9235 Brent I tend to agree with you. I think myV 85. Moto Guzzi delivers a very comfortable ride with ample performance. The Stelvio has some great attributes and is a comfortable ride also based on the limited time that I had on the demo motorcycle. I thought it was a very well-made motorcycle. It will be difficult for a potential buyer to make a choice as to which one they would prefer because they are very close with the exception of the water cooled motor with more horsepower. If pricing is a consideration, the V85TT is definitely a better deal. Thank you for your comment and for watching @lifetimeadventures9107

@@giulianoMX You made a nice choice with the 900 Triumph Scrambler. I like that model more than the 1200cc. Here is the link to the stand that I use on my Thruxton. It is a good quality and is adjustable for the width of the swing arm. Apextreme Motorcycle Stand 750LB... www.amazon.com/dp/B088K4WRJV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share You will need some spool bobbins for the paddock stand to attach to, unless the bike came with them. You can purchase them on Amazon also. It is handy to have the stand for doing work on your rear wheel, chain tightening, changing oil and it is a must have if you do your own maintenance. Thanks for contacting me and for watching the video. My next video will be released this weekend of a ride on my 2016 R1200RS BMW to test ride the new 2024 R1300GS at MAX BMW in South Windsor, CT. Happy riding adventures on your Triumph scrambler.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 thank you so much

@@SorkenBruno Hello, thank you for your comment and question. The OBD receptacle connector, like the NEXAS that I used, just serves as a linking device to the app and the device that it is operating on. There are OBD2 to usb cables that you can purchase to connect with. I found that the Bluetooth connector is the simplest choice for me. I would think that almost any Bluetooth OBD2 Style connector would be able to interact with the ECU app. I have not tried any other connectors yet, but I am sure that the NexLink works. It’s a good idea to check what Bluetooth version that the linking device, that you are considering, is programmed with the most recent Bluetooth version so as to be compatible with the device the app is on. I have found that most dealers may reset your mileage reminder light without a charge,if you have a good relationship with them. But you still have to bring it there and take time to wait for them to accomplish the task and sometimes may have to leave the motorcycle for that to be done and that effort is valuable time you use. Remember that we all have a limited amount of time in life to use. I hope this helps you in someway to decide how you would like to proceed. Thanks for watching the videos. They’ll be more content on the way.

Thank you for your comment. It is nice to hear that you are enjoying your Moto Guzzi. They are unique motorcycle built to provide many miles of pleasure. Thanks for watching.

I haven’t considered selling the parts that I have left on bikes that I own. From past experience, I find that it’s an incentive to offer all the extra parts to a buyer when I decide to sell the motorcycle. However, everything can be sold at the right price. If you want to make an offer I may consider selling them. Thanks for watching the video and for your inquiry.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Hi thank you for the quick answer! Yes I feel the same about the excess parts. I can kindly offer the new spare part price which is 70 GBP here in the UK, translates to 92 USD plus any shipping and fees that come up. I am looking for the low handlebars a while now but nobody has them in stock sadly. I ve found your Video randomly and as you said, you probably won't put them on, I just naturally reached out... Let me know, what you think. Thank you in advance, I will hop on the Thruxton now for a spin!

@@lifetimeadventures9107 do you have any news on this?

@@roygardiner2229 yes I agree it can be a benefit for situations of poor visibility or unruly motorist that don’t pay attention. I believe it also has side, sensing instruments that detect all the vehicles overtaking the motorcycle. Bicycle riding is one of the best things you can do for your health and for your mental alertness. I try to ride my bicycle every day. Thank you for watching the video and for your comment.

The Pirelli Phantom tire performs well while gripping the road and giving a comfortable ride. I’ve used them on other motorcycles in the past and was satisfied with the way they made the bike handle along with the high mileage use that I got from the tires. I have used Perelli tires on Triumph cars that I owned in the past and was satisfied with the performance on the sports cars also. So I decided to stick with something that was working well for me. They are a little pricey, but I believe you get what you pay for most of the time. I have used other brands of tires and was satisfied with them like Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone One brand that I did not find satisfactory was Metzler. They tended to wear out quickly and unevenly and required replacement due to the chattering effect of having the tread irregularly wearing. Feel free to respond with any more questions or comments that I may be able to help you with. Happy riding adventures.

I recently did a spine grease and rubber boot replacement on my 2005 BMW R1200GS. It was a pretty simple job and only took a couple of hours. That is another "Older" bike that is a joy to ride. The new Royal Enfield 400 sounds interesting. My Ural dealer now sells them. I am going to check them out.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 It may be worth getting a bmw check - I think all that age R1200's are getting a free shaft drive anyway at a certain higher mileage. Mine was replace as the grease/lubricant was the problem of seized splines. I think it is replaced for free after 36kmiles/50k kilometres

@@daveh1625 It’s nice to hear about the options that you added on your motorcycle. It sounds like you have some great Adventures riding your personalized motorcycle. I don’t ride my BMW R1200RS often as I have many bikes to choose from when I decide to have a ride. When I do have the BMW out for a ride and it’s been a while since I’ve ridden it, I feel amazed at how powerful and nimble it is. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable machine to ride, which leaves me grinning after parking the bike back in the garage. Thanks for watching the video. I’ll have another one published this week about the Moto Guzzi Stelvio. May you have many happy riding adventures…

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Great bike for my use - one trip from southwest uk to arctic circle on my 2013 R1200R (my retirement present) then same route the next year on my new 2015 R1200RS SE which included a 1000miles in 22 hours returning from near Copenhagen Denmark back home to Devon. The current 2017 RS has also been across europe, Norway, Sweden Denmark etc twice and unless machanical/electrical issues force a change it is my 'keeper' It helps I have a good bmw dealership 30 miles from home and they have been the people I trust to service my bikes. Last week I collected the new Royal Enfield 450 Himalayan for local roads use - great for trips across dartmoor and maybe further if the reviews are accurate. Going to watch your 7000 mile RS revue. Best wishes, ride safe, Dave

@@haroldwright5013 yes it sure an attractive combination of colors and design.. If I didn’t have so many motorcycles, I’d be tempted to add it to my garage. It will definitely make someone a great riding adventure Very low mileage on this one also.

@@juliemcgillivray3394 Hi Julie, the panniers are oem Triumph Bonneville specific for the T120 or T100. They are waxed black canvas and brown leather.

Without a doubt, the GSXR by Suzuki is an iconic example of a well designed and very popular motorcycle. Capable of performing on the track or on the street with ease and providing the rider much enjoyment. When I saw this Suzuki, I I could tell immediately it was well-maintained. I’m sure it will go to a new owner quickly.

@stefanlageambecker6077 Riders may think it unusual for a café racer to have luggage but I find it comes in handy when you want to do an overnight trip or a long ride which may require bringing extra gear or consumables. Triumph does an excellent job at producing accessory panniers and tank bag that matches the classic style of the bike. I published a video about mounting the panniers and tank bag on the Thruxton RS. Realizing that everyone has different preferences for how the bike should look and I do think the bike has a cleaner look without the luggage, however, I don’t notice it when I’m driving down country roads enjoying maneuvering in the tight corners. The added convenience of having needed items and riding gear with you, I think outweighs any perceived negative aesthetics in the appearance of the bike. May you have happy and safe motorcycle adventures. Thank you for commenting.

@@martinbaldam6676 I keep receipts and record all service done either by myself or a shop. I’ve done it this way for all the bikes I’ve owned and so for haven’t had any challenges. I asked the dealers for approval and so far none have objected. Some of the motorcycles I purchase do not have any warranty left on them so that would make it a non issue. I like to know exactly how my bike is maintained so I choose to do the maintenance myself. For a person who is not mechanically inclined, I would recommend using a dealer for the service to ensure that the motorcycle is in a safe riding condition.

@@lulem400 the Ducati Monster1100 EVO is one of my favorite bikes to ride..It is the last of the air-cooling models and the performance is exhilarating along with the handling and the simplicity of the light weight compactness. Adding the Workes slip on exhaust brought out the monster alive! Thanks for your comment, and may you have many happy riding adventures.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Thanks for your reply. I just finished building a Honda CB550 and it was a blast to do. I am looking for a complete bike that has that throaty exhaust note and I'm definitely leaning towards the Ducati. Is it a comfortable bike over distance or is it an around town bike for shorter trips?

@@lulem400 My 2013 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO has a forward leaning riding position with standard straight bars that gives you a sporty feeling when cornering and accelerating. The stock seat is comfortable and doesn’t cramp your riding comfort. A medium 5’5”-6’ build person will find that the Ducati will fit perfectly. There are no luggage options other than aftermarket soft bags or actop of the tank clip on tank bag, neither which I have. I use an aerodynamic back pack when needed, to bring belongings along. My rides range anywhere from 50 to 250 miles, and I have found that those longer distances can create some discomfort towards the end of the mileage, which may be due to my physical abilities rather than the motorcycle. Keep in mind that the monster acts like one and does rumble and roar and with some vibrations, but not to the point that they are really annoying or tiring. I haven’t had the option to ride one of the newer monsters, so this perspective is based on the last air cooled version which I own. The newer models have a lot more technology and possibly a smoother ride with the discontinuation of the trellis frame system. I hope this explanation gives you some idea as to what to expect if you decide to own a Ducati monster.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Very helpful - what I was expecting but still want one : )

@@leekerr6727 the Triumph Scrambler 400X Is very well built, but still a lower horsepower lightweight motorcycle. It fits a niche for certain riders that like the classic style without the weight and higher price of the larger models. It delivers that kind of satisfaction, with its unique qualities. Triumph designed the Scrambler 400 X and the Speed 400 to be sold in Asian countries as well as European and North and South America where the younger generation riders are looking for that type of motorcycle. If I didn’t own so many motorcycles already, I would be inclined to buy one because it was a lot of fun!

@@lifetimeadventures9107 That’s exactly what I was wondering. How Many do you Own? I’ve now got 4 (two mini motos Monkey and Super Cub) so I’d have to sell at least one to make room.

It’s unfortunate that you have vertigo. I wish you a speedy recovery.

@@cbxandy9441 Thank you, Andy, that was my first time visiting the Museum. Nice people and a great place to visit. Seeing all those motorcycles from the past, brought back memories of the good times putting on the miles riding with friends.

Thanks for your subscription and interest in the channel. It’s unfortunate that the Moto Guzzi company has not found a solution for this erratic throttle response. It may have something to do with the compliance issues with emissions. I have heard that putting a bypass Y pipe to eliminate the catalytic converter adds to the performance and smoother running. I may decide to install one of those in the future. I have yet to try out the new Stelvio so that may be the ultimate solution for better performance and more power. Enjoy your Italian machine with many happy rides.

I think the competition green with the gold Striping and Triumph logo give the bike a very classic appearance. Kind of what a custom bike would look like in the past. The Final Edition is very unique as it comes with authenticating documentation and a special engine plate that can be mounted on the bike or displayed in a frame. That said, I really do like the final edition livery more than the custom competition green with silver that I ride. I’m very fond of the British racing green color and have owned several vehicles with that color including a 1971 Jaguar XKE. No matter what color you choose, the ultimate experience is riding a Thruxton for its performance, not just for the appearance. Good luck finding one….. there may be still some available somewhere in this country, if not, there are other 2023 RS models that are still available in the showroom. There is a black one at Street Stuff Cycle in Norwich Connecticut. Happy Riding Adventures.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 True say, that FE racing green is simply gorgeous. And looks even better in person.

We all have our own perception of what is pleasing to our senses. It’s a good thing that motorcycles come in many makes and models to choose from. May you find pleasure with the riding experience that you enjoy.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 No that's not what I mean

@@AndySmith4501 Oh, I understand… you find it disgusting that Triumph will not be producing the Thruxton anymore?

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Yes.

There wasn’t an extreme change from the stock set up. I liked the Leo Vince sound and appearance. You do get a little more pleasing Exhaust note. It’s just a little louder than the stock exhaust. I feel like it did improved the acceleration with a better throttle response. It also weighed less than the original one. I don’t have any experience with the mistrial Exhaust, but I am sure there are some videos that will give you an insight as to whether you’d like that type of system. I think the V-twin boost did improve the operation of the motor by making it run smoother at lower RPMs, and also allowing for smoother acceleration. Thank you for your comment and may you have many happy miles riding your Moto Guzzi.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Okay, thanks, and same to you.

I’m not sure what you have for an opinion. The panniers and tank bag are easily removable and so and is the fairing. Is your comment alluding to the fact that you like the naked bike configuration rather than the dressed up version? Either way it’s nice to hear other peoples points of view. Thank you for your comment.

Hello Dante, I’ve had Michelin, Metzler, Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Perelli tires on my sports cars and motorcycles over the years. The Perelli‘s are a performance tire with a combination of rubber compounds that make them the best handling that also gives a smooth ride. In the past, the technology for a combining rubber compounds was not as advanced as it is now. Back then the Perelli tires didn’t have a high mileage capability. Jump forward to today and the technology has allowed for a combination of materials that not only gives high-performance but extended mileage during use. Michelin makes a good tire but there are factors that can influence how the tire performs . Under inflating and over inflating can cause distortion in the tread and gives a poor ride. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure each time before riding your bike. Extended wear on the tires will also reduce performance and could be dangerous in high-speed cornering and breaking. I don’t try to get the total mileage out of my tires because I like to have fresh rubber under me, I will replace them when they are worn down to 30 to 40% or over five years old. I have a number of motorcycles to choose to ride so most of the time they get replaced because of age and not wear. I hope these words give you some insight as to which tires are best for you. Thank you for your question and I wish you many happy miles on your riding adventures.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Dear, I appreciate your master class on tires. You have taken the time to give me a clear explanation. Once I change the Michelin I will send you my comments, I guess they will be Pirelli Phantom. Again greetings from Germany. 😎

@@Dante-do6ju You won’t be disappointed with the Perelli tires. Make sure you keep the tire pressure set at the proper levels and they should last many miles. You live in a great country and I appreciate the engineering that goes into the machines that I drive from Germany, BMW, cars and motorcycles. Happy two wheeled adventures.

If I didn’t already own a 2023 Thruxton RS, I would definitely consider purchasing the 2024 Final Edition, and that’s if I could find one available. I believe they are very hard to obtain because of being sold out at most of the dealers. Triumphs are a unique motorcycle that provides everything from the classic twins, to dual purpose three cylinder and three cylinder sport bikes, to the super cruiser like the Rocket. Also now offering the smaller size with the new 400 cc Street and 400 cc Scrambler. If you don’t have a Triumph already, you should definitely take a ride to your local dealer and check them out. In New England I like Street Stuff Cycle in Norwich, Connecticut. Check out their inventory on their website. www.streetstuffcycle.com.

Yes, I have the stock clip on bars in use on the Thruxton RS. When you watch the video pay attention to my comments about that the stock bars. When in their original factory position they do not interfere with the fairing when turning full stop each way. May you have lots of pleasurable rides on whatever motorcycle you choose to enjoy life with. If it’s the Triumph Thruxton RS be prepared for a lot of fun.

Well the good thing about life is everybody can have their own opinion. I didn’t care too much about how the bike looked with the fender on. I just wanted it to keep the debris off the motor and off of me, which it does very efficiently. Thank you for your comment and your opinion.

I am pleased to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Riding on the trails is just another way to have fun on your motorcycle. Getting on the FJR 1300 and touring on the country roads is also a great way to have a motorcycling lifetime adventure. Maybe we can set up a time to ride those roads together. Thanks for your comment and your continued support.🏍️🏍️

@@lifetimeadventures9107 thanks, I'd like that too, -Andy

As you know from watching the video, I like the original high clip on bars much better than the lower position bars that come with the dolphin faring kit. Some people decide to put a different triple tree top with conventional bar mounts and wider and higher bars. You might as well purchase a Triumph Bonneville if you’re going to ride like that. You are one of the fortunate owners to have been able to purchase a Final Edition. They are becoming very difficult to find. My dealer told me that most of them are already pre sold. That means with the high demand the price will increase quickly. Enjoy your ride.

I have been owning Truxton R for 4 years and I absolutely love it. When I came to Triumph shop mine intention was to buy a Speed tween, but then I took a sit and ride on Truxton R and felt that this is my bike. I like how it looks and how it feels on the roads. I think Faring can improve riding comfort and esthetic looks. 4 years have passed already, but I am still excited with every ride. Keep enjoying your life!

Congratulations on your good choice of purchasing a Triumph Thruxton. I think the Speed Twin was going to be my choice also. I think it is a very desirable machine with similar handling characteristics, but after looking at and sitting on the Thruxton with the optional competition green and silver colors, I knew that was the bike for me. Now after owning the bike for over a year, I am glad that I chose the Thruxton RS. Thanks for your comment and may you have many enjoyable rides on your joy machine.

The colors are the same. It is called “competition green”. I have checked with my local dealer to see what the availability is and they claimed that they are all sold in advance at this time. If you are considering purchasing one, it’s going to be a challenge. The performance is identical to the 2023 Thruxton RS like mine, which you may be able to find used somewhere in the United States. Getting one with the competition green and silver colors may be a challenge because that was a special production option that cost extra for that paint color combination. Thanks for your interest and for watching the video. May you find what you’re looking for and have some happy adventures riding your Triumph, or whatever model motorcycle you choose.

I believe the answer would be yes, but it’s very easy to remove. Most of the effort putting the fairing on is rearranging the wiring and directional signals, and putting on the under frame that holds the fairing to the motorcycle. Once that’s all done, removing the fairing is as simple as unscrewing a few allen head bolts up near the windscreen and a couple under the headlight. After that, you can access the headlight internals by simply unscrewing the fastening screw on the side of the bezel, and there you are in full access to all the wires and headlight bulb. I would think that it would be very rare that you’d have to open the headlight up for maintenance. Thanks for your question and your comment and for watching the video. Enjoy your riding experiences.

David, it sounds like you have very unique collection of motorcycles. I’m envious of the Norton machine. I had a chance to ride a commando years back and it will forever live in my memory of the performance and handling of that bike. The Thruxton comes close and with all the modern touches, it is a very sweet ride and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the final edition model. Enjoy this riding season coming up and go on some fun adventures. Thanks for your comments and input.

I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed owning a Thruxton. I find that I use the Thruxton most often amongst all my motorcycles that I ride. The fairing installation is not that complicated and like I said in the video it can be changed to the original configuration in about an hour. Since I have installed the dolphin fairing, I feel as though I will not be removing it because I enjoy the wind protection and the appearance. I recently equipped the Thruxton with a Triumph tank bag and find it to be very useful. I intend to publish a video review of the tank bag and again the panniers with some extra mounting hardware tips that will prevent the bags from detaching accidentally. Thank you for watching the video and checking out my channel. May you have many hours of happy riding adventures ahead.

@@lifetimeadventures9107 Thank you sir! Yes it looks so good with the fairing I may never want to take it off. Knowing me, I’ll be lazy and just have the dealer install/uninstall it for me during services.
