Musings: Do I spend another £20K plus to go from a 2016 to 2018 GT?

[Stuart0202]

I’ve been thinking of updating to an 18 plate....

Bought this instead...

Love the bobber! How is it?
Hoping to get myself a Thruxton at the start of the year

I have never been a bike person, but that does look cool!

, build quality is a lot better,

I've heard one or two people say this. Do you think this is genuinely the case? Great news if it is, but surely it's the same factory and all that.

Doubt if I would replace my 2018 for a few years. A different toy could be tempting - maybe add an EV next.

Great choice with the Triumph

I love it, really cool thing and goes pretty well too.... got my mates Thruxton R in the garage as well...
Done loads of mods on the Bobber, forward controls for my crappy legs, pull back bars, full decat, mini indicators, rack, saddle bag, new seat..... great fun

Mates Thruxton......he hasn’t passed his test yet.....

Love both of them. My last bike was a Speed Triple.

Yes I do think they have improved the build quality, it could be many things, quality control could be better, technology could have improved or they retrained staff, whatever it is things have definitely improved
