2005 Triumph Thruxton w/ Predator Exhaust

The intention of this video is for prospective buyers of Predator exhaust to hear how it sounds. I really don't feel the video does the sound justice though. In addition to Predator cans, this Thruxton also has airbox removal, AI removal, and jets= 145 mains 42 pilots.

Watch my other video for another good representation how these bikes sound: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4QmnmSvC0


Changes to this motorcycle include:
-Home made gauge pods (not shown on video): http://www.triumphrat.net/club-cafe/46621-home-made-gauge-pods-completed-pics...
- Predator mufflers
-Uni air filters
-modded air box
-changed jets
-painted front fender
-fender elimination kit
-different marker lights
-silver stripe over the checkered
-Napoleon bar end mirrors
-Monza fuel cap
-different brake light

For your viewing enjoyment, I have elected not to sell my soul to Google and advertise on this video with those annoying popup ads. Enjoy!

Nice looking and sounding bike. Too bad they're so slow .Make it 100+ bhp and I 'm in

[OldSkoolFool240Z]

@pencon61 I do think the Thruxtons should have more power, even should have better braking and handling as well, but I would probably say the same about any bike after I owned it for awhile (wanted more power from the Speed Triple). Thing is, more power, better handling, better braking, then the price would go up. It has enough performance to have fun within the legal and safe limits for street riding (that is of course after an exhaust and intake upgrade).

Nice ride man, is it comfortable to ride? a bit of a lean forwards it appears.

[OldSkoolFool240Z]

@JazzFiveO Yea, with the clip on bars, definitely has a lean towards the front. Newer ones have an actual bar and less lean. I wouldn't call the ride comfortable due to leaning so much. Actually less comfortable than my bud's 636 since the tank on the 636 actually helped you support yourself using your legs where as with the Thruxton, there isn't that leg support sinc e the tank is so skinny so it's all up to your back (or arms if you're not riding properly).

very nice bike!!!

i realy want one!!!

but right now i cant afford it.

10.000 euros in Greece and you cant find a used one!!!

[OldSkoolFool240Z]

Geesh! That seems very high. I have seen some nice used ones with low mileage and some upgrades for around $4500 in the United States. Might be less expensive to ship one out from the USA!

@OldSkoolFool240Z Hello, I just purchased a 2012 Thruxton and was just curious as to which rear fender eliminator you used. It seems that all the rear eliminators fit up to the 08 Thruxtons.

[certifiedlawnpros]

@OldSkoolFool240Z i agree with you 100% i have never understood why people are obsessed with crazy fast motorcycles. If you ask me most of those people dont think logically and will end up putting the bike down at some point. For myself, i like to keep it safe and fun

[jakubkuba666]

what a lovely sound!!

nice bike

[murfreesborobarber]

Very nice and vintage looking bike! I'm wanting to get one exactly like this to save gas and show a piece of my vintage loving style. Two thumbs up on this bike!!

[visibleonline]

great streetsound! i love my thruxton

[dwdrummer3113]

hi, i want to get a motorcycle and I would love a Triumph Thruxton such as this. Do you think its a good bike for my first one? I dont really know too much about motorcycles. Any feed back would be much appreciated! Thank you!

i like the bonnies i really do. but my favorite part of every day is cracking the throttle open on my 09 street triple r. feeling the front wheel come off the ground at 8k and not really trying hard to do that. the way it sounds running 60 in 4th gear when i lay on the throttle and let it carry me away into a completely lawless abyss. i'll run fourth out to about a hundred before i kick her into fifth. (six speed)

Friend of mine fitted predators to a Bonnie, but with the Thruxton downpipes to give the up-sweep. Sounded bloody lovely.
