Admin Jaap Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 How 'bout this? More info (French only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Looks good- the French are really good at making this sort of special. Price is a bit steep though compared to the original. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I like the tank and the Norton pipes. Good styling cues from the past. That's not supposed to be an Excelsior badge, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Barrett Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I really like the Thruxton and I could have ended up with one instead of the Guzzi if they were about when I was looking. As it was it was a choice between the Sprint RS and the V11 Lemans. The one thing that puts me off ( and you can berate me for being a squid) Is the published comparative top speeds. I was coming of an FJ1200 (150) considering Sprint (155) or V11 (135). Didn't what to loose all that reserve. I do find that I tend to ride the V11 faster everywhere than the FJ. I don't know if thats just because you have to work it that little bit harder so it becomes natural and she likes it. Folow this logic and would I run a Thruxton flat out all the time? I like those Goldie style pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ryan, 1- are you running open bell mouths? 2- Whats the little bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badmotogoozer Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi Martin, Yes, open bell mouth. The can is the oil catcher for the breather. Pic was taken just before going out on the track, and since there was racing going on that day, the tech officials like to see that stuff. cheers, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Minnaert Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ryan, I realy like the looks of that duc. I'm not shure about the looks of the english bikes. Getting to close to copying the old looks is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
