Triumph Thruxton 2008 - Almost Mint

Description

I am the second owner of this awesome bike. The first owner was just as meticulous as me and it looks as beautiful as the photos make it out to be. I can't tell you how many people have walked up to me in admiration and wanting to take photos of the bike or talk to me about it. I seriously doubt you will find a cleaner bike in NYC area that's not from a dealer.

It's not *mint* though just to be clear. There are very light scuffs here and there but they are hard to see. + On the rear cowl there is a small black rubber scuff from my boot. It's not permanent but I just haven't buffed it out. Has never been downed. Garaged it's whole life. Can start in 32F weather w/no problems. Obviously loved.

Why am I selling my baby you ask? Sad to say but I never ride it. Started my own business last fall and my riding days have gone from a few to none. So it's time for me to pass the torch and let this kick-ass bike give someone else the same joy and attention it brought me.

BTW the rear seat cowl is removable for a 2nd person. I've even taken my wife on 2hr rides w/no problem.

I may or may not let you take a test ride. We can discuss.

Registered until April 2016. Tires in good shape.

No low-ballers please! That's just bad manners.

Cheers
