It's amazing what they can do with modern materials. I've never sat on one. These are really nice looking bikes.

For me, the thin flat seat is very good.  I was really surprised, I thought it would feel like 2x4, but it’s much better than many  other more plush butt cushions.

For those who want a Thruxton, but can't handle the riding position.  Like me. 

Sat on a 2021 at the local dealer.  Definitely would be a toss up between this bike and the Ohlins Scrambler.

NCDan, Seats are subjective and bikes like this aren't usually ridden all day long.

I sat on a Thruxton today and the current model Speed Twin. Honestly, I don’t see a huge difference in riding position and IMO the Thruxton is fairly comfortable compared to a typical modern Sport bike.

To me, hands down the most appealing bike they make, for sure the best of the 'Bonneville variant' bikes. The thruxton seems too tarted up, and this is probably faster if you put on some upgraded suspension. It is very small to sit on and ride, it is no bigger (and at least seems lower) than a MG V7.

Havent seen this new on but a test ride on a 2019/20 really got my attention.
