sawystertrance Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Very pretty but it's still topped by the CBX. Imo of course. Actually, as I type this, I'm looking at your picture again and again and it just keeps getting better. Hairy and Spokey 2

Actually, as I type this, I'm looking at your picture again and again and it just keeps getting better.I really do like a CBX too, but in that price range I would actually go for a CB1100R C or D.

Spokey Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 A stock standard 1982. Saw “Rocket” Ron Haslam at Kyalami in the 80’s hustling one of these around. Awesome sitting at Crowthorne Corner at the end of the straight as the Super Bikes thundered down! Steven Knoetze (sk27) and BenReaper 2
Wannabe Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Saw a mint RC here in Durbanville the other day. Was one of the "limited edition" models with the pearl paint job. It was mint, looked like a recent restoration.My wife could not understand why I was gibbering like a little girl. sawystertrance, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and Spokey 3

Nothing outrageous of course but about 115 hp, IMO! The reason too why I like the Thruxton 1200 R as opposed to the 900cc earlier one. The 1200 R has a bit of “get up and go”. (That is a pretty retro, especially with the fairing)

He has an aftermarket pipe fitted. Damn that thing sounds nice! Hairy 1

Allrounder Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Indeed it sounds nice. They are getting a MT07 tracer tomorrow. But I would rather buy the 09 tracer.
the nerd Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 There is a guy i see on my commute with a gold speed triple with arrows on it... it sounds amazing
