My '05 thruxton is one of the only bikes ive ever missed besides my fzr400.....and I bought the fizzer back a year after I sold it. The thruxtons main downfall was being a 5 speed. If it woulda had 6th gear and a 17" stock front, I'd almost get another to race.
I got beat by a 15 year old girl on a ninja 400 at Jennings a couple weeks back in the expert mock race, I probly had 200lbs on her but bloody hell!
Jamie Artudillo, that young lady doesn't hang about, but then again nor did Dale 1/4 ly on his 400 either!
Well, if you RTFRB...lol...you'll find the Thruxton listed in Clubman: CLUBMAN EXPERT & NOVICE (all below based on Formula rules except as noted) Unlimited displacement 2 & 4-stroke singles Up to 605cc 4-stroke water-cooled twins Up to 650cc 4-stroke air-cooled twins Up to 250cc 4-stroke water-cooled multis Up to 600cc 4-stroke air-cooled 2 valve per cylinder multis Up to 570cc 4-stroke air-cooled 4 valve per cylinder multis Up to 450cc 2-stroke air-cooled multis Up to 396cc 2-stroke water-cooled multis All Vintage 3, 4, and Formula 2-stroke machines *Honda Hawks and Air cooled Ducati 750’s, 250cc 2-stroke GP replica machines (TZR, NSR, RGV, etc..), Aprilia Cup, and Triumph Thruxton, are allowed but limited to Superstock mods, no Ducati Supermono. 250cc GP machines are not allowed. Not sure what mods are done to a "Thruxton Cup" bike, but if you show up and race, I doubt anyone would get too picky about the modifications...unless you really whup 'em.
Cheers, no real mods, shocks and fork internals, pcv and a 2 into 1 other than that cup rules are pretty tight
I only go to tally of I really have to, no interest in the place, might try to make it out for a couple of other rounds tho
Y'all gridded Caleb all by himself in the second wave of a thruxton race at Nola. He was on his moriwaki 250. He passed the entire field before the end of the first lap. Thruxtons are cool, but should not be mentioned in any sentence containing the word fast.
I think that's 4 lefts and a right, damn it! I always thought Tally was the best track for bikes that are velocity challenged.
