Always lovee the Thruxton. My father has a T100 and I love it, told him he's not aloud to sell it. When he decides he no longer wants it I'll be first in line to buy it. How's the seating position on the Thruxton, we don't have any dealerships close so I've never sat on one?

How similar is the thruxton to your s4r? Im not talking power, but of the "rawness"of the ride.

Nextfriday - I think I understand your question.
Totally different.
The Thruxton is such a "sweet" ride - very quite motor and lovely deep burble exhaust (Staintunes), very little "lean" surging, feel low to the ground, very little vibration, smooth adequate progressive acceleration.
The Ducati could be best described "bad attitude" - hates being ridden around town - noisy motor and nasty exhaust note - bucks and shakes when you take off - scarey acceleration - riding position that squashes your nuts against the tank - prone to a bit of lean surging at a slow steady pace - it seems to keep saying to me "is that all you got - you pussy", harder to master fast cornering when compared to the Thruxton.
Hope the above makes sense.
