With my 50th birthday soon approaching, my sights have fallen on this bike as an addition to the stable for those "sporty" rides that often beckon from the nearby mountains. I'm not a crotch-rocket kind of guy and the V-rod satisfies my cruiser needs. I'd really like to have more of a sport-bike on hand and the Thruxton seems to be a fine balance of classic cafe good looks and modern gear.
Does anyone have any experience with this little beauty (comfort, performance, reliability)?
